Bob Chiarelli,
Smoking ban's were good for business according to Bob Chiarelli, but the customers never came. Businesses continue to go bankrupt and much more to come.
The OTCA (Ottawa Tourism and Convention Authority) is on life support until funding is cut off altogether, which will mean additional catastrophic losses in the hospitality sector.
I told you not to trust this failure, and again I called it right, as well as PUBCO and a few other honest outstanding ethical champions of Ottawa
I was always in agreement that the OTCA should not be funded by taxpayers...but by industry itself, but we are not talking about what I promised taxpayers, and I did not mislead, intimidate, manipulate, cheat, or swindle anyone. I am not the Mayor, and I did not turn my back on taxpayers.
What you now have in Ottawa is something similar to nothing, as those communities WHO did their own thing, without acting like sheep, and will continue to do their own thing, are in for good times.
Ban City, and broken too.
