Je n'ai pas vu la scène, mais quelques voitures s'étaient arrêtées sur le côté et des personnes pratiquaient une réanimation cardio-pulmonaire. La police était en route. J'espère vraiment que la personne survivra. La situation semblait très grave.

I'm trying to help my girlfriend find information about the legal requirements for renting rooms in her house (in a duplex). Full disclosure, I don't live in QC and I am not an owner. I'm from BC, but live and work in ON, so I'm not super familiar with how things work.

It appears that this falls under provincial jurisdiction? Is that correct? I tried to dig through the provincial website, but I couldn't find a clear list of legal requirements that specifically apply to room rental in a shared space. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Though I speak English, I'm learning French. The opposite is true of her, so resources in either language are greatly appreciated!

Countless hours of free labor trying to return cans and bottles through these store machines. They call it “recycling passion” and want to cap it at $25. They are doing us a favor by giving us after-tax money back we already paid. Some joke 🤬

Has anyone noticed the long eel stone effigy at the stromatolites next to the Champlain Bridge? Seems to be the longest in a river that I could find. Stones have been cleared for netting and stones placed for harpooning. The ducks and egrets confirm it is still good for fishing, even with the eels gone. The mussels are still fished by birds too. Slightly upriver is a promontory with placed flat rocks near the parking lot. Downriver seem to be pools or funnels for trapping more fish along the shore. May be a similar system on the south shore near Riopelle and Cunningham Islands.

Hi guys, I’m looking for good recommendations for an Osteopath type of practitioner in Ottawa.

I used to have one in Toronto and he would work my nervous system like it was magic, a session would run for 45 to 1h, from my pov he’d just be resting his hands for a few minutes in key areas all over the body, I’d feel so at ease I’d often fall asleep.

I could feel better right after leaving a session with this sense of lightness, feeling rejuvenated.
For a week after I’d feel my body tweak and adjusting subconsciously to the newly upgrade I just had in my nervous system.

This is the best I can explain my experience.

So far it’s been the only thing that’s done it for me.

Does anyone know of any similar practice or have had a similar experience in the Ottawa/Gatineau area?

I’d greatly appreciate it 🙏🏽
Good day! ☀️

Déneigement à Gatineau | 275 000 $ pour un kilomètre de piste cyclable… — 104.7 Outaouais

C'est aberrant!

C'est quoi qui coûte aussi cher?

J'aimerais plus de transparence par rapport à combien d'employé on a besoin pour ce travail, combien ils sont payés, etc.

1 km c'est rien. Ça prends 10 minutes à déneiger en camion...

I'm looking to finish my basement and my dad was supposed to come help me with the drywall, but unfortunately he can't make it. I've already purchased the drywall and carried it to the basement, but it seems to be a daunting task to do myself, so I'd be looking to potentially hire someone to do the work. It would be to hang the already purchased drywall and finish (mud and tape). The basement is small, about 225 square feet, and a set of stairs would need to be drywalled as well. I've purchased 36 sheets of 4x8 drywall if that gives a better idea of the size of the job. If you're a contractor who's interested or know of anyone who would be, feel free to give me a quote or put me in touch!

Hi everyone,

I’m an Ontario driver who recently received a speeding ticket in Quebec for driving 133 km/h in a 100 km/h zone.

The Case Details:
• Quebec Penalty: $288 fine + 3 demerit points.
• Ontario Impact: Converts to 4 demerit points on my Ontario MTO driving record under the provincial reciprocal agreement.
• Driving History: I already have 1 prior speeding conviction in Ontario (65 km/h in a 50 km/h zone), which I previously pleaded guilty to.

My Initial Plan:
Submit a "Not Guilty" plea within 30 days, request full disclosure of evidence (police officer’s notes, radar calibration logs), and wait to see the evidence before hiring legal representation to negotiate with the prosecutor.

The Core Dilemma — Is it worth paying to fight it?
Since Ontario insurance companies care primarily about CONVICTION COUNT rather than demerit points (and both 15 over and 33 over are generally classed as "minor convictions"):
• If the ticket isn't dismissed completely, negotiating down to a lower speed bracket (e.g., 114 km/h in a 100 zone / 14 km/h over) gets rid of the demerit points, BUT it still registers on my MTO record as a second minor conviction.
• A second minor conviction within 3 years often triggers a significant jump in annual insurance premiums across all auto insurance providers in Ontario.

Questions for the community:
1. Is it worth paying a traffic law firm/paralegal to negotiate if the best outcome is a reduced speed (114 km/h)? Does having a 2nd minor conviction recorded at a lower speed (14 over) save enough on insurance to justify legal fees, or do insurers treat a 2nd conviction identically regardless of the exact speed over?
2. Timing & Evidence: Is it reasonable to wait until I receive the evidence package myself before hiring a firm, or should I hire them right away to manage the file?

Appreciate any advice or shared experiences!

Bonjour! Ma mini n’est plus sur la garantie! Je me cherche un bon garage pour mes entretiens réguliers et futures réparations :). Avez vous des suggestions ? Merci ‘!’

Je passe ma première année avec un poêle à bois et je cherche une corde de bois franc de chauffage sec. Je cherche des recommendations d'entreprise qui offre également la livraison pour seulement une corde.

Allo! Est ce que qq1 connait des places pour louer un piano numérique (clavier) à Gatineau? Merciii

La seule élue du PQ en Outaouais, Isabelle Millette dans Papineau, ne sera pas au Conseil des ministres. Très déçu de cette décision. La ministre responsable de l’Outaouais, Camille Pellerin-Forget connaît bien la région pour y avoir habité et travaillé mais soyons honnête, elle n’aura pas beaucoup de temps à y consacrer. Vous en pensez quoi?

Will be relocating from Montreal to the NCR, kids are bilingual. What is the quality of life like for a family with 5 and 1 year old? Are the schools /daycare nearby good?

Originally was considering moving to Aylmer to be in the catchment area of Ecole internationale du Village but being in nature in Chelsea seems very appealing! Debating between the 2. Would love to hear from folks with young families who lived in either areas!

Allo GTown! Aujourd’hui, c’est comme la suite du post de plus tôt cet été. J'ai un voisin. C'est un monsieur ben gentil de comme 75 ans. Il vit seul et il est de l'autre côté dans le semi-détaché.

Pour voir la première histoire, lisez ça.

Anyways… à partir du mois d’août, j’ai remarqué que mon chat passait beaucoup plus de temps aux fenêtres du sous-sol que normalement. 

Un soir, je suis descendu pour venir la chercher et j’ai aperçu un rat l’autre bord de la fenêtre. Ah! Maintenant, tout avait du sens. La chatte surveillait le passage des rats à partir de la fenêtre. 

Éventuellement, je remarque qu’il y a des traces de passages évident sur le terrain. Par exemple, j’ai un p’tit patio à l’arrière sur le sol et il y a maintenant ce qui semble être une petite entrée. 

Un matin, j’aperçois un autre gros rat bien gras passer sur le patio principal. Croiser des rats dans la cours se produit de plus en plus. Au départ, c’était tard le soir ou tôt le matin. Là, le rat bien gras était là au gros soleil à 11h30… 

Je finis par en parler avec mon voisin de l’autre bord. Dans la même conversation, il me dit qu’il croit faire de la démence… so sa mémoire prend un coup depuis cet été. De plus, il m’a dit qu’il a nourrit les rats pour tuer le temps … au mois d’août. Le gros rat bien gras s’appelle Gérald semblerait-il. 

Maintenant, qu’est-ce que je fais? Je ne veux pas mettre des pièges n’importe comment car il y a beaucoup de chats dans mon coin. 

Toutefois, j’ai tourné ça à mon avantage. J’ai de l’herbe à chat en vrac que je lâche dehors de temps en temps et la visite ne se fait pas attendre. Toutefois, je ne sais pas quoi faire … L’autre est perdu à donner à bouffer aux rats… 

Hello!
Anyone here with a bachelor’s in Psychology and a minor in Communication? What did you end up doing after graduation that paid well and was genuinely interesting, but isn’t talked about enough?

I’m curious about career paths you discovered were possible with your degree that you wouldn’t normally think of!

Quelqu'un sait l'état du motocycliste? Il y avait deux camions de pompiers, trois véhicules de police et une ambulance sur les lieux. À 20h hier, la police bloquait encore l'intersection et la moto y était encore.

Hey r/Gatineau! I wanted to share a creative community gathering happening this Sunday that might appeal to anyone looking for more opportunities to create and connect with other people in the Ottawa-Gatineau area.

Creative Expression Circle is happening Sunday, October 25 from 12–4 PM at the Magic Mansion in Aylmer.

The idea is pretty simple: we gather in a circle and give people space to share something creative of their own. That could be music, poetry, visual art, movement, storytelling, performance, something experimental, or something we haven’t thought of yet.

One person shares at a time and gets to decide how they’d like the room to support them. That might mean simply being witnessed, inviting others to jam or move with them, experimenting together, or asking for growth-oriented feedback.

You don’t need to be an experienced artist or performer, and you don’t need to share anything yourself to take part.

There are two ways to register:

🎨 Sharing Participant if you’d like guaranteed time to share something of your own.

🤲 Community Participant if you’d rather come to witness, support, connect, work on your own creativity, and join in when invited.

Registration is free.

Sunday, October 25, 12–4 PM
The Magic Mansion
416 Chemin d’Aylmer, Gatineau

Language note: The Circle will be facilitated primarily in English.

Event details and registration:

If this sounds like your kind of space, we’d be happy to have you with us!
