This may turn out to be amusing, then. :-) I'll admit that Ottawa is the least promising, and I wouldn't hold my breath. The biggest interest and support right now comes from Quebec with the support of Tourisme Montreal; and I'm in contact with the Mayor's office where they tell me they might have financial support on the Hotel side available through a business convention support program of some sort -- I don't know the details yet because I'm only meeting with their rep in two weeks.
