…as usual. The Ottawa Citizen’s Joanne Chianello is already filling Randall Denley’s shoes admirably, with a devastating critique of the process involved in force-feeding our community an unwanted casino.

Even for Ottawa city council the blatantly wilful ignorance that most councillors demonstrated before the vote is uncommon. The public, meanwhile, are opposed, and most of the public delegations to Council were as well, despite a lame attempt by the city to corral some pro-casino voices.

Something smells here, and, as the old saying goes, it isn’t roses.
