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.

Manifestation of the cost of living crisis. Private insurance is breaking people's backs. A Public insurance option is what is required here to keep transportation functional. A better option is massive investments in public transit.

It would be beautiful if busses could get me where I wanted to go faster than walking

Makes sense when you consider that the OPP are the only ones enforcing traffic laws.

Only if you're going over 130.
