The net result: a few extra patches of public lawn, a few monuments, and Confederation Square, which has so complicated downtown traffic that Ottawans themselves call it Confusion Square. Ottawa, dominated by the anachronistic Gothic buildings of Parliament, has remained frowzy, a city where trains run through the center of town and chuff smoke into the foyer of the best hotel...
