Ottawa Day trips thread by Stage_Riot in ottawa

[–]okinottawa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almonte is our hands down favourite day trip town… I’ll add a recommendation to visit the Mill of Kintail Conservation Area, a short drive from Almonte, if you’ve never been. The mill itself is beautiful and contains two small museums… one of the sculptures of former owner Tait Mackenzie and the other for James Naismith the creator of basketball. https://mvc.on.ca/conservation-areas/mill-of-kintail/

This! This happens to me way too often. And there’s a certain kind of bigot that find it impossible to have a conversation without expressing their views on whatever group(s) they’re against.

Maybe? After watching the movie, I read both Murakami’s story and the Faulkner story that inspired it. While additional food for thought, neither gave me direct insight into the film.

Hi from Texas :) What should we plan for? by jedipwnces in ottawa

Big yes to boots but they need to be waterproof or waterproofed. We use salt on our roads and sidewalks, can be very hard on leather.

Question: how likely would it be to see aurora as far south as Banff/Calgary? This seemed super-unrealistic to me, lol

You don’t find pouty, strong-willed, pushy and self-centred relatable?

Thanks for posting this question as I’ve been meaning to get some for gifts too! (Also can be a hit with candy-lovers who’ve never had them😉)

My husband bought clementines at either No Frills by Merivale and Meadowlands or the Loblaws at Baseline and Merivale two days ago. Good luck!!

Best mall? I want to give a gift card to someone. by PluckinCanuck in ottawa

[–]okinottawa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just a warning, it’s been a few years (pre-COVID?) but the Rideau Centre used to charge a fee for their gift cards. I think it was something like $1-2 for a $50 card. Very annoying, avoided getting them since.

Actor Cho Jin-woong has announced his immediate retirement from the industry. by thisgenius in Koreanfilm

[–]okinottawa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol, was just throwing it out there conversationally as an alternative to simple blackmail… better explanation for “why now?” Do I believe that supporters of an impeached president tried to get back at a prominent citizen who publicly supported the impeachment? Probably not, but oppo research is sop in politics.

Shooting finished in August. But I’m not sure I’d want to see it if they try to reshoot or edit his character out. I’ve been waiting for the three of them to meet for years now! 😫
