Well, Neil Saravanamuttoo, who is expected to be a candidate for Mayor of Ottawa, is now going Big Game hunting with this salvo against the City of Ottawa, Ottawa’s Biggest Developers, and certain members of Ottawa Council. As with his recent broadside against mayoral challenger and Kitchissippi Councilor Jeff Leiper, his latest piece is sure to raise some eyebrows and perhaps blood pressures at Council. Not to put too fine a point on where he’s coming from, he says that he rejects ‘the crony capitalism that now defines Ottawa City Hall.’ Them’s fightin’ words. It looks like Saravanamuttoo may be the Mamdani-like disruptor in the mayoral race. At this stage, it appears that Leiper has not chosen this route. I would imagine that there will be response from some members of Council to the allegation that they are part of a ‘crony capitalist’ system, perhaps even Mayor Sutcliffe.
