"It can be difficult putting your makeup on in front of a camera to be cool rather than providing oversight that citizens demand at Ottawa City Hall."

It was known as neither of those things when it was founded (Byzantion) so it depends on what this person is characterizing as "art" in the city. So if we're being pedantic with them (which we should be it's hilarious) we should correct him to Ḳosṭanṭīnīye, specifically.

Completely agree, plus the UK was exhausted in '38 after a horrific World War, almost going bankrupt, Spanish Flu, the Anglo-Irish War, and the Depression. It was a shell of itself. The US has not gone through that degree of trauma at all over the last 20 years.
