Ottawa Does FIFA

And some the Architect: his hand was known
In Heav'n by many Towered structure high,
John Milton, Paradise Lost, Book I, Lines 732-733

Once Ottawa was one of the top ten cities of the world. One can only imagine what was going through the minds of the stakeholders located in Alta Vista and Rothwell Heights as they separated their slops from their dinner and continue to wonder where they can hide the garbage from the By-Law officer until the next garbage pick-up! Yes folks, the City of Ottawa had $400,000 to spend to get a FIFA sanctioned woman's soccer tournament, but they can't afford to pick up my garbage once a week!

Not wanted here...

The footage on the vulgar media was enough to make one puke in utter disgust. The designated money must have gotten to the correct hands after all, why even the Septic Bladder from FIFA showed up with the token ethnic assistant cabinet minister from the 'Harper Government'! And yet you think the Oracle of Ottawa is out of line to question who is really running the City of Ottawa? My recent bit on the Prime Ministers Office appointment of the new City Librarian cost the Oracle of Ottawa his Ad-Sense stream! Can you imagine dear stakeholder how many of your tax dollars went into that? The phone lines must have been buzzing from Ottawa City Hall to the main headquarters of Google somewhere in California... Well! As far as the Oracle of Ottawa knows, Google has not given up the Oracle of Ottawa, yet... Although, the Oracle of Ottawa hears from people who know about such things, that being served can only greatly increase hits to the blog! Perhaps everything of the New World Order, is not totally so bad after all.

 

We will do business with anybody?

The Oracle of Ottawa does not venture very far from the secure bunker very much any more, but for the life of me, I can not remember where the 60,000 seat soccer stadium is located in the City of Ottawa! One simply can't see how 'Gentleman Jim' is going to get that together by 2015!  So for all you poor soccer schmucks who expect a world class facility, you can forget about it! Don't bother coming to my patch, start making your own better, so I can continue to enjoy mine! Got that? Good...

It seems that Ottawa has totally lost it's way. It seems that the Burgers of Ottawa will do business with any body. We will take any body's money. For example, it is still and will be always a real burr in the Oracle of Ottawa's shorts that Ottawa's sister city is stinking Beijing, China! Jesus! Not only will the Burgers of Ottawa bow, but they will suck cock also! The proper sister city for my home, the city of Ottawa is Bergen, Norway.
These people have nothing to learn from us, but we have a lot to learn from them! But when you get sucked into the Canada - China friendship society, your doomed. They have tapes, pictures, and receipts..., when it blows and it will, hold on to your seat folks.

The Oracle of Ottawa can only wonder what is next? Perhaps we will score the Mid Western United States Crystal Meth Cooks Convention....





Ya, I guess we will, like we soo need the money.....

Yo! Girlfriend! Where's the Cheque?

This work, laborious as it may appear, has been to me a labour of love, an unfailing source of solace and satisfaction.

Well, I am sure you know by now that the Oracleofottawa is a big Wikipedia freak. Every now and then I check out the article of my home town. Just to see how awesomely lucky I have been in this incarnation of the cosmic ovarian lottery. I have been most fortunate indeed! And a lot of the time, now, as I advance in years, I feel quite guilty that I haven't done enough to justify my Creators trust. So I feel compelled that in some small way, everyday, I will make the world a better place. It is a Mantra that I made up all by myself and it is very powerful indeed. And, no, I did not register it as a Trade Mark. So, by all means, give it a try!

Centre Block, Ottawa, Canada

 According to Wikipedia, Ottawa had the second highest quality of life of any city in the Americas, 
and 14th highest in the world according to the "Mercer Human Resource Consulting Quality of Living Survey".  I figure we could be in the top five if we had more competence on the ground.  A lot of my disposable income in the form of taxes has gone into this achievement. And in my humble opinion not damn near enough is taxed in Canada! At the end of the day - YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!- That's it and that's all....

Now I was much surprised that a "sister city" of Ottawa is Beijing China! How the fuck did that happen? And how much are the Burgers of the City of Ottawa getting each year from the likes of Beijing for the basking in the softening glow that the reputation of the City of Ottawa provides? Maybe Gentleman Jim can bring this up with a certain high Chinese functionary at the next meeting of the Canada-China Friendship Association? (See earlier posting...) I think you should bring this up with your councilor at the next fart catching and arse smelling meet and greet. No?

 But perhaps it is an error in the article? The Burgers of Ottawa surely cant be as naive as this? Again, ask the question of the good Citizen; What Is In This For Me? I figure if the chinese are not paying at least twelve million a year, we put them up for "adoption"!

May I suggest as a Sister City; say, Bergen Norway, Edinburgh Scotland, St. Petersburg Russia, Paris France, Washington  District of Columbia, anything but the above.....
