Ottawa Race for Mayor

Well there are only a couple weeks to decide who will be the big cheese at Ottawa city hall.

The three so-called frontrunners are incumbent Mayor Bob Chiarelli, former Councillor Alex Munter and former businessman Larry O'Brien. I hope to profile the 3 candidates in the coming weeks.

The one thing that I hope they can all agree upon is for federal Treasury Board Minister John Baird to butt the heck out of the municipal race. Even shrinking violet and Baird buddy councillor Jan Harder suggested that Baird stay out of the fray.

This looks to be a very interesting and tight 3 way race developing.
