Then again, as his reliably risible column makes clear, his main issue with Ottawa was the lack of attention to detail from staff at a hotel he stayed at.

I googled and there is someone of that name who is a Canadian who doesn't like Ottawa. Well, fair enough, lots of people don't like Ottawa, but why cite him or her, how would we have heard of this person
and why would his or her one opinion matter to us?

People in Gatineau still tend to use the names of the original sectors.
And Gatineau doesn't have a centre.
