Ottawa chatrooms:

XMPP: empty
Matrix: https://matrix.to/#/#ottawa:matrix.org
Telegram: https://t.me/chatottawa
Discord: https://discord.gg/TrCHrucmqJ

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.

""There’s a cost of sending material to the landfill, whether it gets rolled up into the cost of the product or whether it’s on your tax bill,” Menard said. “It’s going to be one way or the other.""

Why do I have a feeling this is just going to result in the cost of products going up and our taxes won't go down.
