Andrea RossThe experimental farm near Carleton University is a giant lake, and starting to flood over Fisher Avenue.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ottawa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ottawa</a>

Ross of OttawaGlad the heavy rain forecast for today hasn't really occurred for us – at least not in our neighbourhood. Perhaps it's been more notable in other 'hoods?Just back from a very pleasant walk at the perfect temperature - about 15C. Stiff wind though. A few drops pelting into our backs on the final leg home.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ottawa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ottawa</a>

Hans on the BikeI didn't know a carbon monoxide sensor only lasts ten years. I don't even know how to dispose of it. Do they all end up in the landfill in <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Ottawa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ottawa</a> ? That is a lot of waste given we have around perhaps 250,000 homes in Ottawa?

David MegginsonYesterday at our local Metro grocery store in Ottawa I paid CAD 3.93 (USD 2.70) for a dozen large eggs.That was the regular price, not a sale.<a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/foodSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#foodSecurity</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canada</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Ottawa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ottawa</a>

Dave MacDonald (admin)Lufa Farms has the right idea - building rooftop greenhouses for fresh veggies above hyperstores/supercenters.

TheSauceIt's been a mild day here in Ottawa.Window's cracked open and I can hear the sound of people up and down the block whacking little canals in the ice for water to flow to the street drains.For added pleasure, there's a wild turkey tom wandering up and down the street offering advice.<a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Ottawa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ottawa</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/WildTurkeys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WildTurkeys</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/IceEngineers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IceEngineers</a>

🇨🇦 Michael Porter 🇨🇦<a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Ottawa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ottawa</a> friends - I have a handful of old Macs that I'd like to donate to worthy causes as opposed to just giving them to the <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apple</a> store to be recycled. They still have life in them as <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> machines, I'm thinking.Any suggestions? Are there organizations in the area that would benefit from these?For the purposes of discussion, assume said Macs are all around 10 years old - I have a couple of laptops and Mac minis. I think. I'll have to go into the climate-controlled vault, where I also keep my *priceless* collections of vintage cables and AC adapters, to be sure 😄

Stanislav Čerkas 🇨🇿🇺🇦🇪🇺Dear Canadians, As a Europe politician, I sincerely apologize for not taking an interest in your affairs sooner. I’d now like to better understand how your recent election unfolded, what your political outlook is, and how it all affects relations with the <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/USA?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> and us in the <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/EU?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EU</a>. I admit that whenever a candidate secures over 80% of the vote, it prompts some scepticism on my part. How do you yourselves perceive <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Politics?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Politics</a>? And what about your political future? I’m also curious about how this situation plays into international relations, particularly with <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Trump?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a>’s administration, as well as with <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/DonaldTrump?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DonaldTrump</a>’s broader approach to foreign policy. Your insights will help me grasp what’s truly happening in <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Canada?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canada</a> and whether there are reasons for concern or hope. Please share your perspectives, impressions, and experiences. I believe Canada is a key partner for <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Europe?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Europe</a>, and I’d like to understand your political and social context more fully. Only in this way can we together uphold the democratic principles and freedoms we hold so dear. Thank you in advance for your time and willingness to share information. I look forward to any comments or observations that will help me better appreciate your view of the current situation. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Ontario?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ontario</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Ottawa?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ottawa</a>
