      Did the ad mention how Parliament Hill, the only thing really unique to Ottawa, has been effectively closed for many, many years due to construction?

        At the risk of sounding like a butthurt Ottawa native, there are many fun things to do we just don’t advertise anything anyone under 50 would enjoy lmao.

        I do enjoy the prevailing meme of it being a super boring place, helps keep the riff raff at bay lol.

          It was just a cheap shot on my part. I have family in Gatineau and my wife is from there and in comparison, Ottawa totally rocks! I actually really like it but I just wanted to play with the stereotype.

            Lmfao no worries it’s actually one of my go-to jokes with my buddies from out of town. It’s a nice place to live but I certainly agree with there being more exciting places in the country lol
