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.

retail and property investors are really pushed hard for this waste of everything...

IMO, if your retail business depends on a captive audience, it's a shitty business. I'm so tired of overpaying for crap food and coffee. Those crappy chains that only live in gov't buildings.

you mean you don't like getting $8 coffee that tastes like road tar and a week old stale sandwich from a business that only opens from the hours of 11-2pm
