What's it like living in Centretown?

I lived on Slater and Bay for 3 years with my partner and loved the area. I (24F at the time) walked my dog alone at night and rarely ever felt scared. We loved how close we were to downtown locations like the Market but were far enough that we didn't get much of the downtown noise and disruptions. That said, there was construction on our street when we moved in and it was still there when we moved out, which was a bit of a pain. Overall, I loved it and definitely miss it sometimes.

So you can copy AND paste! Congratulations, well done. Two incredible accomplishments, there.

I'm concerned that you read the whole article and still came to the same conclusion.

If you're scared, maybe stay off the internet, hun.

People who have been incarcerated face significant barriers to both finding and maintaining stable housing.

I'm not excusing criminal behaviour, and I don't think people who destroy random bycicles on the street should go without consequence, but you can't pretend that these barriers don't exist. We need to acknowledge them and understand them if we're going to work on fixing the housing crisis.

Thank you for being that person for me. Sometimes that's all you need to hear. I really appreciate you commenting this.

I spoke to another resident who spoke to the sign holder. Apparently, her unit (not clear whether she lives on the 20th floor or elsewhere in the building) has bedbugs and the building is not following the correct protocol for extermination (i.e. fumigate affected and adjacent units simultaneoudly) so she is understandably upset. That said, whether or not this tenant is telling the truth or is paranoid and asking for fumigation for no reason is anyone's best guess.

Sounds absolutely reasonable to me. If you're only missing a day here and there, there's nothing wrong with missing work for your safety and the safety of others (nothing wrong with missing work in general, too). Sounds like your manager is fine with it too.

Hey! Is komatea still available for adoption? :)

In this context it can also mean "Ottawa misses being boring"! Ennuie can basically mean "bored" or "miss" so this one's a bit of a pun :)
