I just want to say a thanks to those others who stopped and got involved in an emergency situation on the Voyageurs Pathway just east of Portage Bridge this morning. You were all great and didn't hesitate - especially the woman on the scooter with the Skate Canada jacket. And a shoutout to the paramedics who took over.

C'est plutôt une plainte contre ma médecin de famille mais es ce que quelqu'un sais s'il y a une méthode de enregistré une plainte? This is the third time over many years that my family doctor has tried to reschedule an appointment last minute. In previous years, I would have to take the day off work to attend just to have it be cancelled/changed last minute. Maintenant je suis employé avec plus de stabilité mais ces quand même gossant.

Bonjour, Gatineau!

Veuillez m’excuser pour mon français; ma langue maternelle est l’anglais et mon français n’est pas très bon. Version anglaise ci-dessous.

My fiance and I purchased a home from the 1930s in Templeton and we are searching for a plumber or plumbing business with century-home experience. We have cast iron pipes and we are looking to perform a cleaning using a chain knockers and potentially replace the sewer stack depending on cost. Any recommendations on who to use?

Merci beaucoup pour votre assistance!

Une famille aimante recherchée pour Ela, notre chatte (Ottawa–Gatineau)
Bonjour!
Nous cherchons une nouvelle famille pour Ela, notre chatte adulte qui fait partie de notre famille depuis février 2020.
Elle est un peu timide au début, mais devient très affectueuse lorsqu’elle se sent en confiance. Elle aime se faire caresser, rester près de ses humains et pétrir doucement avec ses petites pattes.
Nous habitons à Nepean, près de Bayshore, et cherchons un foyer permanent, sécuritaire et attentionné.
Si vous êtes intéressé(e), envoyez-moi un message en me parlant un peu de votre foyer et des autres animaux que vous avez.
Vous pouvez aussi m’envoyer un texto au (613) 917-1907.
Merci beaucoup de partager avec des personnes de confiance!

J'avais remarqué en juillet passé que la lumière piétonnière qui traverse le boulevard La Vérendrye Ouest à la hauteur de la rue Canne était active à chaque cycle de la lumière, qui y ait piéton ou pas. Étant un boulevard à quatre voies séparé par un terre-plein, la lumière piétonnière est très longue. Qu'elle retarde sans raison le trafic sur le boulevard causait un engorgement sur le boulevard. Après deux demandes au service 311 et sur le point d'impliquer l'échevine, c'est finalement réparé.

Maintenant, comme il se doit, la lumière de circulation sur la rue Canne tourne au rouge lorsque les quelques voitures ont fini de traverser au lieu d'attendre la fin du cycle pietonier (sauf naturellement, s'il a été manuellement activé, il va sans dire).

Espérons que la longue lignée de voitures en file indiennes le soir à cette intersection est maintenant une chose du passé!

Avec Halloween à nos portes, avez-vous déjà été témoins de phénomènes étranges ou vécu quelque chose d’inexplicable?

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.

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.

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 🤬

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.
