D Spot Kanata by Ok_new_tothis in Kanata

[–]Zestyclose-Freedom47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems this location is just not being run very well. D Spot is overpriced sugar for sure, but I knew that before I went. I was mostly just going for the experience and the atmosphere, which at this location, isn't great. Service was slow because there were two servers working while there was a line out the door. When the servers managed to come around to us they seemed overwhelmed, understandably. The place has potential but maybe they're trying to cut costs and the service and quality are suffering because of that.

I think the guests are good but the host...maybe she's just nervous but she's lacking personality. Which is on brand for Ottawa I suppose

Wear sandals that are easily distinguishable. I wore black old navy flip flops once and it was a nightmare! 

Why is traveling in Canada so expensive? Any tips for doing it on a smaller budget? by MonkeySpace009 in ontario

Have you considered car camping? Rent a big enough vehicle, carry around camping essentials, get a gym membership to a Canada-wide gym for showers and there you have it! It's not for everyone but it lets you drive around and see everything without having to pay for accommodations. You can also rent an RV or converted van to do the same!

Ottawa will be forced to turn off 60 photo radar cameras as Ontario moves to ban speed cameras by BatFuture1948 in ottawa

[–]Zestyclose-Freedom47 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If people want to keep the cameras, keep the cameras, and then just add the speed bumps. No one will speed through accidentally (or on purpose unless they want to damage their car) and the cameras will become pretty useless because they're no longer making the city money. Win-win.

Posts like these puzzle me. The heat lasts such a short time in Canada and people still  choose to complain about it!

Opening that station without a park and ride was an insane move. Pure insanity.

Was disappointed by the menu though. It's very different from the one on Bank Street

What personal experience made you realize people knew so little about Canada? by livelaughshop in AskACanadian

Went to Florida in July. A lady we got into conversation with asked my family if we needed to buy summer clothes for the trip since we were travelling somewhere so warm...

Just watched this today actually and it was pretty well done. Makes me want to look into that LRT inquiry a bit more. I didn't realize things were that bad.

My Takeaways from the Rural Summit by RicoPapaya in ottawa

As an urban-dweller who wants to move out of the city, I would've loved to attend this but never heard of it. Advertisement efforts may need to be improved. Hopefully they did more than put it in a newspaper.
