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.

not going to fix anything by increasing direct and indirect subsidies to property developers. They are the core of the existing problem.

So in other words give developers free range to do whatever

Why is it always that politicians see a problem with obvious solutions and they'll try anything, as toxic as possible, as fraudulent as possible, as inhumane as possible, yet never look at the obvious solutions in front of them?

I'm tired, so tired
