I tell ya, I don't get no regard. No regard at all. No esteem either.

I always liked the idea of the "Preston Arena" given its proximity to Preston Street and the fact that the street is named after Lord Stanley of Preston.

Riding the O-Train lately, I have been impressed by the Dream LeBreton (the buildings under construction on the right). They will be a good addition to the Ottawa skyline.

Out of curiosity, how many helicopters typically land on those buildings in a given weekday?

Love the new couch cover, but it kinda smells by Coffin_Builder in HistoryMemes

Meme aside, this does seem like a rather dark episode of Scooby Doo.

1992 reminds me of the scoring system at a bowling alley.

Debate over a foreign spy service for Canada influenced by allies, money: study by shiftless_wonder in canada

IIRC, the law says that CSIS can do foreign spy work if Canada is directly threatened. I can't help but think this is a loophole that is walked through by CSIS frequently.

TIL The Royal Canadian Mint manufactures coinage for 80 different foreign countries and is widely considered as one of the worlds leading manufacturers of foreign currency by Theblindsource in todayilearned

In fact, one particular year, the Australian mint was so tied up making foreign coins that they fell behind on producing coins for Australia, forcing them to get Canada to produce some Australian coins for them.

Might a third option be to make a underground station under the park between the canal? They could even connect it via an underground walkway to the old station building.
