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.

No injuries reported, Slater Street closed between Bank and O'Connor


Parts of three floors and the west wall seem to have fallen or been removed from a downtown Ottawa parking garage overnight Tuesday into Wednesday.

Just before 5 p.m. Tuesday, a 911 caller noticed damage to a column on one of the pillars in the parking garage that spans from Slater Street to Laurier Avenue W. just west of O'Connor Street, Ottawa Fire Services said in a news release.

By 7 a.m. Wednesday, a piece of the upper west side wall was lying on the ground.

Ottawa police have now closed Slater Street between Bank and O'Connor streets, plus the north side Laurier sidewalk.

They had earlier said vehicles parked inside the parkade cannot be moved until further notice.

That video is pretty impressive.

I'm just impressed the person taking the video didn't start yelling, but just calmly kept recording. Respect.

It is! From the ground it looked like a mountain of snow up top.
