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.

Nearly a quarter of Ottawa’s workers are in government positions. Most work for the federal public service...

Man I didn't realize it was that high.

If you believe the Fraser Institute, something like 20% of Canadian workers are employed by a government. We aren't that far out of whack.

That's insane to me. Our country really is just public servants and the housing market at this point.
