Ottawa has the beauty of being the nations capital, but outside of parliament hill, and a couple cornerstone national monuments and museums, it's no Washington DC architecturally. It needs to be more than just the capital. It's one thing when you're the capital of a country that proclaims to be the leader of the free world, and another if you're anyone else.
I do think Ottawa is one of the most beautiful cities in the country. The locals are certainly very outdoors focused, and it has world renowned white water rafting apparently, not that I know very much about that. A very good place to hit up patios in the summer and the ByWard Market is always lively. That being said, I don't think it holds a candle to Quebec, which is probably my favourite Canadian city so far (I have yet to visit Halifax of St. John's)
