are there any plans to bring the internet to ottawa?

In the gatineau area it works, but since it uses the Vidéotron cabling, I don’t believe it will make it across the river to ottawa.

I don't believe that'll be possible because Fizz is a subsidiary of Videotron that use their own network and the cable service in Ottawa is provided by Rogers.

If you are a DIYer and have a friend in the Gatineau area you could try setting up a nanostation on the other side of the river and transmit the internet signal wireless. Oh, you'd have to be in the line of sight of this friend also. :)
