Who’s Ottawa’s deadbeat embassy?
Not us, says Armenia.
After the Citizen wrote last week about a mystery embassy that owes the city of Ottawa more than $175,000 in unpaid taxes, a Toronto newspaper picked up the story.
Since neither Ottawa nor Global Affairs Canada will say which embassy owes the money, the Toronto paper threw in a few photos of embassies around Ottawa — including Russia, Iraq, and Armenia.
All of which didn’t makes the Armenian staff happy. A consular official phoned the Citizen to say firmly that the nation doesn’t owe Ottawa a cent.
That’s one down, and 100-plus embassies to go. Ottawa’s property tax office won’t name the country involved “for privacy reasons.”
