This isn’t sporting anymore.  I could make this stuff up, but it wouldn’t be nearly as crazy.

City slapped with another light-rail lawsuit

Third firm in consortium seeks $103.9M in damages

Hmmm.  City breaks an agreement, we get our collective a$$ sued.  Seen that movie before.

Doucet says O’Brien can’t be trusted

Claims mayor reversed his position, then said he’d deny conversation ever took place

Now this sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

OPP probe nears end
Investigation of mayor now in hands of Crown

“The Ontario Elections Act states if a candidate is convicted of a corrupt practice or of an offence under the Criminal Code in connection with an act that relates to an election, “any office to which he or she was elected is forfeited and becomes vacant.”

And this is just one day in the life of the City. 

Now look, I never intended to blog about municipal politics, and chances are you didn’t come here to read about them either so I’m going to try to give it a rest.  At least for a little while. And quite honestly, I sincerely hope we don’t lose the Siemens case (although I think we probably will), I don’t want gridlock at City Hall, and I don’t want to see the office of the Mayor of Ottawa tarnished with a criminal conviction. I’m not cheering for any of these things.

I’m just sayin’.

In the next few posts, look for a little bit of a primer for the upcoming Arizona Fall League, a “Who are the Grays” post, and whatever else I can whip up.
