Ottawa chatrooms:

Please note the following:

* All chatrooms are linked together. If you join one room your messages will be copied to the other platforms.

* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.

* Be aware that both Telegram and Discord are centralized proprietary platforms and do not necessarily protect your rights nor privacy while simultaneously giving power to corporations.

Right now I'm using Duolingo, but I'm getting tired of being told dejeuner means "lunch". Is there something I can use that's more localized?

This should be a wake up call to the Mayor and councillors.

Their priorities and solutions for affordable housing in the region may need to benchmark on larger and more densely populated metropolitan areas.

The assailant made a racist remark about how he was surprised that I was friends with 2 minorities. (I was hanging out with a few people). He later proceeded to walk down the street (Arlington / Kent, 75 arlington). He walked up to a muslim woman and the following happened: he said: ~"go back to where you came from~, ~someone who looks like you almost hit me in a car~, he then did a finger gun aimed at the woman's head. He was within 2 meters of her. This happened ~8pm, July 19, 2021.

I see so many people bring couches and stuff home from our curb and I’m always worried about them getting bed bugs.
