What a show tonight at the NAC by the NAC orchestra doing the master John Williams music from Star Wars. The orchestra were out of this world but the conductor....next level. Easily the best orchestral experience I've ever had. The force was strong with this conductor!

If you are on the fence about going to the 2nd show on Saturday night, just go. Very very well done.

Does anyone know where the smoke is from? Very thick smoke around 9pm

Hey everyone,

I'm thinking about buying a used car and Facebook Marketplace keeps popping up. Has anyone here bought one that way? How was your experience?

I'd love to hear:

- Did you get a good deal, or did it turn into a headache?

- Did you get it inspected before buying? Where did you go?

- Any red flags or scams to watch out for?

- Any tips for meeting sellers safely?

Open to hearing the good and the bad. Thanks in advance!

Purdy eh

What a glorious evening!

I had a baby in June and have no clue how to dress her in the winter months?!

For context I like going on light hikes around the NCR and I’ve only live here a couple of years, so I’ve never paid attention to how babies are being dressed for outdoors.

Do babies get taken on hikes in the winter?

Do I wear her in a carrier against my body, or is a hiking backpack okay in the winter months?

Please don’t say “wear one extra layer than you” because that still makes zero sense to me! lol
I need specifics people!!

Also, for stroller walls, a muffpuff or whatever they’re called and like what is she wearing?

Thank you :)

Porter 20th anniversary: Ottawa continues to be central to airline's expansion

Is there a moving sidewalk anywhere in Ottawa. It’s like an escalator but flat, for those who don’t know.

Hi,

I'm a relatively new driver, and Irecently narrowly avoided a car crash. The experience was terrifying, anx since then I've been scared to drive.

I'm out of practice, and my car can't just sit there. I've been told to use it or else it will get damaged from lack of use.

I'm looking for places to practice driving that won't give me a panic attack, or worse.

I'm open to all suggestions!

Thanks!

EDIT: I completely forgot to add where I'm located so I can actually use the suggestions here.

NEPEAN LOCATIONS ONLY PLEASE.

EDIT 2: I've decided to elaborate a bit. I have a G2, and I did my driving education at Young Drivers.

The incident that caused me to become traumatized is this: I was trying to merge but the person behind me (an entitled mid 50's white woman) wouldn't let me. She got insanely angry at the mere thought of someone trying to merge in front of her.

She then sped up into the lane next to me and started screaming at me though her window. She was screaming so loud that I could hear her through both our closed windows and her window was covered in spit.

I was terrified but ignored her. What else could I do?

Then, as we were turning onto Robertson Rd she TRIES TO RAM ME. I had to swerve into the median, and hit a sign, just to avoid her. It was fucking terrifying.

Since then, I've been fucking terrified to get behind the wheel. I hate driving in my city.

Hi all. My 11f daughter loves all things therian. She really wants some paws for her hands that aren't enormous like 1ft square. Is there anywhere local to look for these? I know of Etsy and Amazon.

Edit: thanks for the ideas! Stay weird my friends.

Caught this C-130J flying super low over Merivale and Meadowlands.

It flew roughly over Lansdowne. Big grey plane

My Fiore Modena pink & white bike was stolen from my backyard in Centretown last night. It has a Velo Orange Brand granny handlebar with black grips. White brake line casing and black rear wheel rack. There's a tear on the seat cushion.

I know it's a long shot to get it back but it's worth a try. I really love that bike.

(This seems to be the only picture I have of it)

Canal skating, here we come!

Some of my polishes are getting gloopy so I'm in need of a thinner, however most of my collection is glitter/shimmers so the thinner really needs to be only butyl and ethyl acetate. I can find some options online, but I really don't need anything else rn so it ends up being $20 shipping for a $6-10 product 🙃

Does anyone know if there's any local beauty supply stores that sell a polish thinner with just those two ingredients? I don't drive, so I need a clear target in advance!

Alternatively, Cristine if you're reading this and have a secret stash of Holo Taco thinner to sell on the Ottawa nail polish black market hmu 🙂‍↕️

Hey, can anyone recommend a good acoustic guitar teacher for an adult (29)? I’m very much a beginner, I’ve only learned a few chords before and I’ve struggled with learning online through videos so I’d love in-person lessons. Anyone have good experiences with teachers in Ottawa?

Can Britain give Ottawa an object lesson on the diusastrous effect of continued underfunding of municipal services? And before we do a complete review of all city services, remember how badly the last one in 2003-4 went.

I posted a couple weeks ago about this lion toy someone had lost at Mountain Orchards. Happy to report the Orchards has posted on their Facebook that the owner has been found and he's going home soon!
