Lines in a speech Mayor Jim Watson gave this week sounded awfully familiar to me.
That’s because I wrote them.
Not for the mayor, of course, he’s got people to write speeches for him. I included the lines in a story about construction on the Confederation LRT line, which the Citizen published on Oct. 12.
Here’s what I wrote, under a section titled, ‘Local jobs, local money’:
On any given day, there are about 800 people working full-time on the Confederation line — welders, mechanics, carpenters, electricians and administrative staff. Tétreault says subcontractors and firms in the Ottawa area have already received more than $400 million in work, and that figure is set to reach $900 million by the time the project is done.
Meanwhile, a team of 18 assembly technicians and several support staff are currently being trained at Alstom’s plant in Hornell, N.Y., about 140 kilometres southwest of Buffalo. They are learning the ropes and will eventually return to Ottawa and train other workers. In all, about 100 people will work on the Ottawa assembly line.
And here’s a section from the printed version of Watson’s Economic Outlook Speech, which he delivered Tuesday at the Shaw Centre. My colleague Joanne Laucius was there.

They are learning the ropes and will eventually return to Ottawa and train other workers, that will do all of the train assembly in Ottawa.
In all, about 100 people will work on the Ottawa assembly line, in the new maintenance facility on Tremblay Ave.
I’m flattered.
