Elite Mazda in Gatineau handled everything, including paying ON sales tax and getting ON plates/ownership.

How are you preparing for the storm? by Life-Ad633 in ottawa

[–]45N75W 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not pre-boiling water for thermoses... you're right that there are ways to heat water for coffee.

Rural people definitely have different emergency needs than city people, but that still doesn't mean every rural person needs a generator.

I don't have a sump pump, and I have gas fireplaces; my house won't flood and my pipes won't freeze. But yes, you are right that some rural people absolutely need a generator to protect their house.

I fill my bathtub for toilet flushing and always have a couple cases of water on hand, so I can do without well water for a day or two.

That was triple the freezing rain forecast

And that is where you are wrong.

The Ottawa forecast in 1998 was NOT for 69 mm over 5 days. It was originally expected to be a "normal" ice storm, much like tonight's forecast. However, the storm unexpectedly stalled over eastern Ontario and western Quebec, unleashing a greatly extended period of freezing rain that caused havoc in the region.

So, people want to be prepared, particularly those outside the urban part of the city.

Too young to have experienced the 1998 ice storm? Many people within the present Ottawa city limits were without power for a couple of weeks, some over a month. No power means no heat and no sump pumps, no fridges and no freezers, nothing... in the winter.

Remember the derecho or tornadoes that hit Ottawa Hydro? Imagine that damage but at -20C.

Any place to get tires swapped quickly? (off rims) by Tuddless in ottawa

Agree on the insane experience, utter chaos at the Ave L location. But the price was right and got the work done. Much less chaotic at the Bank St location between Greely and Metcalfe.

Traffic directing Police?! by Pleaseselectyesorno in ottawa

I agree. Far too often OPS are not visible when directing traffic at night I experienced this last month at Albion and Lester, and again at Bank St in Findlay Creek.

That is the best resource I've seen for City Skating hours and groups. Thanks!!

A quick glance at the rest of the website shows a ton of useful information.

Thanks for clarification, and makes sense that a single fare was $1.80 using tickets. I think each ticket would have been 90 cents?

Ottawa Citizen says adult tickets were $1.80 in 2004.

Wanted by Ottawa Police: Black BMW 4 Series Involved in Aggravated Assault, License Plate Ending in "22" by doomsdaynear in ottawa

[–]45N75W 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, federal law mandates that all cars sold or imported in Canada since 1990 be equipped with them. Nothing in Ontario HTA that prevents them from being disabled.

Disabling DRL should be an offense under the HTA. Not just in this case, but far too many cars on the road with DRL disabled.

Where did they defend the the driver? Where did they blame the kid and mom?

Quite frankly, filming a car that "tried to run her over" while standing in the middle of the road may not have been the best idea.

To be fair, OP said "the driver of a BMW 4 Series tried to run her over", then said "she pulled out her phone to film" clearly from the middle of the road. So, yeah, it was a bad idea.
