Ottawa's bid for Amazon HQ2

[J.OT13]

My biggest fear with the Amazon bid is that the City and Invest Ottawa propose some suburban campus in Kanata/Barrhaven/Orleans. The City is always promoting Kanata North as a high tech hub, always pushing for a big government department ( and now the "opportunity" for a massive private sector hq) to move to Orleans (and now, as Watson would say, it will be served by world class lrt). It's no secret that our politicians have a very suburban-centric mind.

It's always about votes and pleasing ass kissers, not about what's best for Ottawa, current trends or what the customer wants.

If they propose a suburban location, we have 0 chances. If they propose a combination of Lebreton Flats, 900 Albert and/or City Centre, I think we have a good shot.
