We have been seeing a lot of photos of the Parliament in Ottawa. Here is a question. What do the parliaments in Canada and Hungary have in common.? The answer is that through their choice of the Gothic Revival style, both are intended to issue a challenge to their powerful neighbors, respectively the US and Austria (well, once powerful). To be sure, in Ottawa, there is an homage to Westminster, but this is not what links Ottawa to Budapest. To my best of my knowledge, these three are the only Gothic Revival parliaments in the world. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliament_Hill
