Ottawa Citizen online – Watson backs new Ottawa casino; public consultation scheduled for Oct. 2

I don’t back any – let me repeat any C A S I NOS in Ottawa or for that matter elsewhere.

I’ve been on record since 1996 when my Dad asked me that question about putting up a CASINO on the former Waffle House property now called Gabriel’s Pizza on Montreal Road with the purchase of the Concord Motel.

NO, too much low income and social housing renters and even homelessness. It’ll exacerbate the problem and make crime, drugs, prostitution even worst in lowertown. Even the “Shithole” as Ottawa Police called it won’t be immune.

Put any up and I’ll have them torn down brick by brick if I have too. Find other ways to drum up money. Hey how about this, let’s have honest politics and budgets that makes sense. Wouldn’t that be a head turner for a change. Wait, cancel the City of Ottawa water department Gustapo and people will actually throw money at you for finally being ride of tyranny. Water bills plus any extra fees tacked on and pretending that tax increases of only 2 – 3 % ranges is under total budgetary control is total hypocrisy. Shame on any Mayor for jumping on those bandwagons.

Ottawa you’ve got problems. Start fixing them or I will. I don’t take no as answers. Yep, there’s a new sheriff in town and I’ve been watching for a hell of a long while. Get your act together over there, even in Calgary I’ve still got a “thing” for Ottawa. And I’m fucking pissed.

And for your information there’s already across the river so 1 is already more than enough. Send them to Lac Leamy and let the Quebec government fund their separations from there if they wish to do so.
