Ottawa chatrooms:
-
XMPP: empty
-
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.

We really need a better way to deal with this. These charges are typically fines and then they pay predatory insurance rates for 5 years, but anyone with money will just pay.
Here's a dumb question: why do we even allow cars to go 178 Km/hr?
Do you guys not do license points?
Sure, i could get pulled and pay the fines repeatedly but after a few times I'll lose my license due to having too many points on it.
Yes, and this will cost the driver 6 points. In Ontario, once you reach 15 your license is suspended.
They will also face way higher insurance.
