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.

Meanwhile my neighbors have no problem burning wood in a campfire when our houses are 10 feet apart. 🤪

Are you outside of the city? Is there no burn ban in place?

There is a burn ban in place for the entire municipality as of the end of last week

Anyone have any historical data on the air quality in Ottawa? I can't remember the air being the bad for this long before and I'm curious what the historical context is.

I’ve heard (please take this with a huge grain of salt) that there’s wildfires in Quebec every year, but usually the wind pushes the smoke east / northeast.

So now or summer weekends are rainy out smoky.
