Ottawa LRT will be 4 cars, at least for peak trains. Shorter trains may be used off-peak.
Here's more info on Ottawa's chosen vehicle, the Alstom Citadis Spirit.

The vehicle is actually a new line of Citadis trains designed specially to meet Ottawa's business requirements. Alstom is now marketing it aggressively in North America for other cities to use. Ottawa is their first ever North American customer (they're very much based in Europe with the odd contract in Asia & the Middle East) and they're hoping the city will be their big breakout into that market.
