“Canadians know Ottawa as the home of government, where roughly a quarter of the metropolitan area’s 1.5 million residents work in the public sector. They also know Ottawa, fairly or not, as “the city that fun forgot,” a moniker penned over four decades ago by the late Canadian political commentator and satirist Allan Fotheringham. The label has stuck. YouTube celebrities have traveled here to document whether Ottawa is as drab as advertised. Municipal leaders want to turn that image around.

The job title is still to be determined, with officials tossing around ideas such as night mayor, nightlife commissioner or night czar.” WSJ (Gift Article): The ‘City That Fun Forgot’ Is Hiring a Nightlife Czar.
