If "Mark" could land this deal that would be great.
I'm trying to think of some wins hes had in his tenure and I can't think of anything. Stuff like the Library and new Sens Arena had wheels in motion already. Landsdowne was an inevitability sooner or later.
What are some big fish he's landed that you would read on his Wiki when hes gone assuming he's a single term mayor?
Granted the bidding hasn't begun yet and fall election is coming up.
At face value it would seem like we would have a fair amount of white colour workers from the feds with some tenure to turn over to an employer like this. Couldn't tell you about the overlap of skillset though.
I've been nervous for many years about Ottawa shedding good federal jobs and diminishing our tax base in the name of either playing fair with other cities because of digital revolution and vote buying or just general austerity.
As a contractor ... I can tell you my entire client base is dual income people who push paper around all day and I couldn't even tell you what the heck it is they do for a living. Haven't met a steel worker married to a waitress yet.
