Ottawans can be very sophisticated, but for decades now the place has blanketed itself in secure, well-educated, middle-class blandness, led by the public sector. With some notorious exceptions, the elites keep a pretty low profile (but elites there are). It is indeed a unique capital city and very attuned to Canadian values. Just not a good shopping city.
