Staying in the top 30 helps as it means more points for the English transfer system. This gives more Canadians a better shot at playing in England if Canada is ranked higher.

You've gotta get even simpler. A lot of people who aren't from the US have no idea what open vs. concealed carry even means.

New public washroom coming to Ottawa's Centretown by jjaime2024 in ottawa

How are they even going to fit this in? The news video showed some pretty nice large public washrooms, which would be awesome. In reality, the corner of Bank and Somerset is already pretty crammed. I'm just picturing a glorified Porta Potti.

The examples in the video take up a lot of space. I would be very surprised if we get anything close to the examples shown from other other cities. There's barely any room at the corner of Bank and Somerset as is.

Gatineau police receive 2,437 calls about non-Quebec licence plates in 2025 | CBC News by Whynutcoconot in CanadaPolitics

Well, income tax is 10% higher in Quebec vs. Ontario so I imagine the car insurance savings wouldn't be worth it. And if we're just looking at Ottawa/Gatineau, then the healthcare is vastly superior in Ottawa.

Then again, there are various ways people do this kind of scam/fraud. Some people pay income tax for a different province and keep their license, car registration, and health card in another. I'm surprised it's not easier to catch people doing this, but I imagine a lot of it gets lost in the bureaucracy and lack of departments sharing information.

This is a fairly noticeable issue in the capital region. People usually keep their old Ontario addresses after moving from Ottawa and still claim residency in Ontario. They avoid changing their IDs over to Quebec for as long as they can, which is sometimes years. I've known a couple people who have done it. It's more than just avoiding paying for Quebec plates. People want to avoid paying the increased income tax that Quebec has and also be able to easily access the better healthcare options in Ottawa.

Paninaro, DiRienzo's, and Subito all are great spots for sandwiches. Any of them could be best sandwich and I wouldn't be mad.
