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.

I was down at Parliament Hill today, and I saw a drone loitering over the cenotaph. It was clearly a police drone because it had little blue and red lights flashing on the underside. Later I saw the thing head over to the Chateau, get a fresh battery, before resuming its position.

Sadly, it didn't seem to have a little RCMP hat or serge. Nor did it make "weeooo weeooo" noises.

It would be great if it did have “weeooo weeooo” to drown out the propeller noises 😂
