What if neighbours worked together to make solar, battery backup, and home electrification easier and more affordable?
I'm exploring a community-led model for Ottawa that focuses on transparency, resilience, and reducing costs through neighbourhood-scale adoption.
No sales pitches. No exclusive vendors. Just neighbours helping neighbours make informed decisions.

If you are in Toronto or Ottawa and thinking about hosting a party, please check out plateshare.ca
It's a volunteer run service by local parents that's totally free. Borrow a set of dishes for your party and don't use anything disposable.
plateshare.ca
Please share this with other groups and let them know we exist. I am no longer on other forms of social media to remind people about us and it makes me sad that usage has done down and people are probably buying disposable stuff from the dollar store.

Should online harms bill cover AI chatbots? Ottawa’s advisory group mixed
Three of the experts on the 11-member panel say the bill should regulate AI chatbots, though opinion on the idea of age restrictions on access to social media is more varied.

Sure the evil monster is dead but it's way too early to celebrate "Freedom"
And who celebrates after the killing of 150+ children?
