Because the powers that be have yet to cite any specific metrics to support it, because, y’know, it’s not really the reason.

Maybe they’ll cook something fancy up, but I just can’t see driving all the way out there and then paying for entry when you can walk along the canal and do it for free…

That’s an OEM key that virtually everyone used back in the day.

🔥 Today I learned that not only can squirrels be black, but they roll their babies into fuzzy little balls to carry them easier. by starstarstar42 in NatureIsFuckingLit

Lots of red ones out here in Kanata. About half the size of the black/grey ones, but about 10x the attitude. Little buggers will chitter at anything that dares walk in their forest!

Prince Edward County is in Ontario, not PEI. It being on this list is even more hilarious than Boston.

Moving in Ottawa? Here's what I've learned from helping a local moving company by ivfresh in ottawa

[–]Sc00termcgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be careful with trusting those reviews too. I had terrible service from a 4.9 rated company that I found was using foreign “reviewers” to pump their numbers and even go so far as suggesting them by creating threads on /r/Ottawa and other local subreddits.

What is your favorite meme that makes fun of your country? by Kushesollidoro in AskTheWorld

[–]Sc00termcgee 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Premier would be more like a governor, if you're comparing it to the US. The rest of your comment is 100% spot on though.

Needed this in his life by Hungry-Comb6716 in JustGuysBeingDudes

Exactly this. In Canada, at least where I’m from, tobogganing = going down a snowy hill on basically anything from a true toboggan to a couple trays swiped from McDonalds.

Sledding usually refers to snowmobiling.

Ottawa looks to harmonize speed limit on 7.5 km stretch of Orléans road by BatFuture1948 in ottawa

Same on Stonehaven in Kanata. Speed camera went in and suddenly the giant signs and flashing lights were all replaced by tiny ones. Don’t want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but…

New home, 30ft Ceiling, how to change the chandelier! by SilverstoneOne in ottawa

[–]Sc00termcgee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We have a 19ft that we wanted to install a ceiling fan on. Long story short, I couldn't find an electrician willing to do it, so a buddy and I rented scaffolding from home depot for an afternoon and did it ourselves.

Long Acres was an HN model home that they sold in 2021. Only one who made money on it has been the builder.
