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 bet it was one of those extra large pickups. Why did they make those stupid fucking trucks so large? Oh yeah...$$$. Money trumps safety unless something needs to get pushed through legislation, then it's for your safety.

It's in the picture. Doesn't look like one of the newer stupid large ones, but the fronts of all pick up trucks are pretty tall compared to most cars (and to humans) anyway. They still aren't releasing much about this, and they still haven't identified the victim yet.
