2839...This Is Important To You

Your capital, your Capital, Ottawa, is having a municipal election next month.

The two main contenders are Hizzoner and the former Hizzoner.

Hizzoner, Larry O'Brien is, to put it kindly, a bit clueless when it comes to running a modern city. If it was back in the day and that day was a century ago, he would be a prince but it ain't and he ain't. The former Hizzoner, Jim Watson, is going to be what this town has never had and desparately needs: a twenty year mayor.

An Ottawa Sun poll done by Leger Marketing the former Hizzoner quite a bit ahead of the current Hizzoner: 31 to 22. Still, 31 ain't 51 and, as Yogi Berra said, "It ain't over til it's over." Plus the undecided is in the twenties so you never know.

Tell you what though, if Hizzoner gets elected they may as well close this town.
