I have heard Ottawa called a lot of thing but ugly is certainly not one of them. Ottawa is a truly beautiful city and yes it has it's commie blocks but generally the city is green, clean, tons of parks, gorgeous, grand, and unique architecture, great inner city and character filled neighbourhoods, and the Rideau Canal running right thru the centre. Few cities in NA are even remotely close as being as beautiful as Ottawa.
It might not be ugly but outside of the parliamentary precinct along Wellington and some federal parkways, it's a fairly unremarkable looking city.
It basically looks like your average, non-depressed non-blighted North American city.
Sacramento by a long shot. (Sacramenno- natives pronunciation)
I absolutely love Montreal (Mo-ree-al - the French pronunciation) so that’s cool that Ottawa is 2 hours away.
My ex-roommate was born and raised in Ottawa, and moved to Sacramento 10 years or so ago. He still loves Sacramento, and he has no desire to move back to Ottawa.
