"Wham" BLAMS The Tram in Ottawa

As the November 13th municipal election draws nearer with the Ottawa LRT issue hitched firmly to the ballot question (although I believe the question is a more direct one: Who do you trust to lead the city responsibly for the next FOUR years?), we find stronger activity in the blogosphere surrounding the light rail controversey.

Many questions yet unanswered. Many answers still unacceptable.

One man, a strong municipal advocate for the past few years, is emerging with a growing volume of compelling perspectives and arguments regarding the North-South transit plan. Robert Diotte's blog The Ottawa-WHAMMER! A Musical Dramady reads like a reference library for the transit issue, complete with links to audio and video archives from the media and other sources, peppered with a measure of sarcastic wit.

The reason for the blog's existence?...

The Birth of the Ottawa-WHAMMER! A Musical Dramady came about when it became clear to me that Ottawa City Council was on the wrong track with Light Rail. Anyone who has eyes can see the truth. And the thruth shall set you free.

It's worth checking out.
