I get that, though it does have some cool features (the Science Center is fantastic). But that trip was to see particular people rather than the city itself. We’ll miss them, but we also don’t feel super safe crossing the border right now.
I lived in Ottawa for four years, actually, and my husband for over a decade – but I haven’t been back since 2013 and our kids have never visited. I’m actually really looking forward to revisiting some of my old stomping ground with them!
We haven’t really filled out our itinerary yet, so I don’t mind suggestions on things to do with the kids in particular (all elementary school age). So far we’re thinking touring the Hill & Peace Tower, the Museum of Nature, whatever the Museum of Civilization is called these days, and maybe one of the river/canal boat tours.
Our family was supposed to go to Baltimore this summer but instead we’re going to Ottawa :)
You’d be losing a lot of extra product to the trimming that way – or you’d maybe have to use individual molds for each bar. With a rectangular shape, you can pour the soap into slabs and then cut everything exactly to size with very little wastage.
I found a video showing the process (you can skip to about 3:30): https://youtu.be/TvIBzCIwpLM
Maybe look for coverage of a topic or event from a few major US media sites/papers, and then at the same event from somewhere outside the US.
Etc.
Oh hey, we had one of those disasters in Canada! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_pay_system
Aren’t those kinds of decisions made in the writers’ room, though?
I use Boost and the topic keyword blocker works really well. I’ve got a lot of political words blacklisted and it’s made browsing All much more pleasant.
Welcome to Star Trek! We cry here.

I’ve heard that Meyer lemons are relatively easy to keep as indoor potted plants.
That’s what I’ve been doing. Order of priority:
In my experience a women’s wide is akin to a men’s regular.
Skunks are common city animals, so it’s a little more surprising to me that you haven’t encountered then before. But for the most part they’re pretty chill little guys, and forage widely – so seeing one in your yard doesn’t mean they’ve taken up residence. They eat grubs mostly (which is great for lawns and gardens).
As others have said, as long as you’re not getting up in their faces, you shouldn’t have any problems.
Even if the length is the same, men’s shoes tend to be wider than women’s (sometimes much wider). So swapping is great if you’re a woman with wide feet, but if you’re a man with wide or even average feet, it would be much harder to swap to a woman’s shoe.
The US has a huge number of cities named after cities/regions in other parts of the world, e.g.:
Adding the country or state designation after one of these names is helpful for clarity.
French’s ketchup is made from tomatoes grown in Leamington, ON. It was a huge deal when Heinz pulled out from their plant there & then French’s bought it.
I wish my grocery stocked it. I buy Earth’s Own oat milk though.
That’s great, thank you! We lived in the city in our single/DINK days so a number of these weren’t even on my radar. I had no idea you can water taxi to QC now! That might be a fun one.
