| Ottawa is a great city in summer; great street life in the Market, the Glebe and Bank St. I really miss spending summer evenings on the Patio of the Arrow and Loon. Too frigging cold in winter though, all that infernal language BS just makes it too tedious to live there. |

| Does being dyslexic and a crappy typist help? Without spell-check almost everything I type looks like that. |

| All of you that have said you've done everything on the list.... seriously you've done them or you just know how to do them? I can't imagine there are that many capsized boaters to rescue, and although I've been trained for it, I've yet to use CPR on anyone. OK, although I can do CPR I've never act... |

| I can do/have done all but number 19. Well I probably could, I just never had the opportunity. I’ve done 4,5,6,8,10,11,12,17,18,20 for a living at one time or another. |

| A good alternative to a stroller is a carrier back pack. From six to twenty months our son probably spent more time in the backpack than he did in the stroller. We used this one. As far as strollers go I’d suggest going with a good lightweight model; one with all the functionality of the big strolle... |

| For the first time in the nation's history, married people are in the minority. Statistics Canada said the 2006 census showed that 51.5 per cent of the adult population was not married -- which could mean they were never married, were living in a common-law relationship, or were divorced, separated... |

| So we (married couples) are a minority now. I guess married couples with a stay-at-home parent, raising a family on a single income must be an even smaller minority. Perhaps now the federal government will stop discriminating against the single income families and give us a break on taxes. |

| The Buzzer is just nuts, to put it politely. Maybe if the NA auto makers built cars that average folk wanted to drive, or could even afford they wouldn’t be getting their arses kicked in the market. I don’t mind paying a few extra dollars for a pair of jeans or a barbeque that are made in Canada. I ... |

| I buy most of my CDs from the second hand music stores. It takes a little more effort to find what I’m looking for and sometimes it takes a few weeks or months before a particular title I want shows up. Still it’s worth it to pay only $7 to $9 for a CD that’s $25 new. |

| FM radio died for me when Chez 106 was sold to a media company and THE LEGENDARY Brian Murphy got the axe. Sorry I don’t recall the year that happened. Most events from that time period are a little foggy. I’ve been an mp3 devote ever since. Satellite is intriguing but at $12 a month it just seems t... |

Well this is interesting. We’re looking for a nice place to semi-retire in few years. Guelph, Kingston, London (I was born there) and Collingwood (number 11) are all on our short list.
Can’t say I agree with Ottawa as number one; and I certainly don’t think Gatineau should have been linked to it. |

| We were in Ottawa for two weeks over Canada Day; Last week of June first week of July. The weather was pretty disappointing. We were looking forward to some hot and humid summer weather. Instead it was kind of cool and rainy. |
