From over at the CBC
A source close to the Liberal MPP for Ottawa West-Nepean confirmed that Watson will announce his candidacy Tuesday morning.
This will surely liven things up. Watson is an experienced politician and should provide some entertainment for us.
"He is going to have a major impact on this race due to his personality," [Alex] Cullen said, when asked about the possibility of Watson's candidacy, before adding: "Style is nice, but it's substance that counts."
Stay Classy.

Cullen Clueless on Transit
From the Citizen
"It was an embarrassing day for Councillor Alex Cullen, who pronounced Lansdowne Live to be defective the day the plan came out"
Cullen's main argument against the proposed Landsdowne Live! plan was that it would not provide sufficient public transit access. I can't understand why this would be the case. Firstly, there are two major bus routes (the 1 and the 7) which travel along Bank Street. Secondly, I can think of a few developments not situated on major transit routes that were, in fact, approved by city council. The most notable example I can think of being the new shopping mall that is about to be put on the former Laurentian High School site only served by the local 156 route and the 118.
One of my main oppositions to Alex Cullen for Mayor is that in his role as Chair of the Transit Committee, he has, in my opinion, not demonstrated the foresight and knowledgeability I'd expect from a Mayoral Candidate.

OC Transpo Cancels 149 Runs in Two Days
The title (borrowed from CFRA.com) says it all. Alex Cullen, Chair of the Transit Committee, was "surprised" by the lack of maintained busses in Ottawa over the last few days.
Shouldn't Cullen, as the Chair of the Transit Committee, be congnisant of developments with regards to the transit which he is overseeing? Probably too busy installing Hand Sanitizers on OCTranspo busses.
Do we really want someone who would stick the elderly and the poor out in the cold to maintain a good relationship with an Out-of-control union as Mayor of our city?
