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.

It looks like almost all of the incumbents kept their seats. What do you think of the outcome?

In Hamilton, most got turfed.

But, only 147,196 out of 465,861 eligible voted. The lower the voter turnout, the higher the percentage votes are cast for Right Wing Christian Fascists. My new councilor said he has no party affiliation but somehow forgot he ran for Ford's PCs in the last provincial election.

Ottawa voting was 314,393 out of 868,248 eligible voters casting a ballot.
