You didn't present it as open source - you presented it as
your own thoughts. It has sourcing provided which you could have used to summarize and supplement your own thoughts. I don't care if you're copy/pasting wikipedia articles but I really think it's a no-no if you're supplementing it with
"this is how I think it will play out" and pretending it's your own stream of consciousness.

I didn't, actually. I ended up on the Wiki and noticed it was the exact same as what you has posited.

You could have easily presented it as:
I think it will work out the same as how this wikipedia quote says.
Regardless, the easiest thing you could have done was source something written by someone else.

I don't really think Ottawa has any of these shortcomings.
Stadium can be expanded.
Stadium is downtown.
Airport large enough for direct flights.
Plenty of hotel rooms.
It's obviously not in the Toronto/Vancouver/Montreal tier of hosting cities but Ottawa is still at an acceptable enough level to host World Cup matches. Far worse places have and will host matches in the future.
