Ottawa’s new zoning bylaws could allow for the construction of 3-storey buildings in all neighbourhoods across Canada’s Capital.

The North York-based salesman says the late Sue Johanson, a client and the iconoclastic host of the Sunday Night Sex Show, agreed with him, which Mr. Drysdale figures is authoritative proof.
