I recently saw a tourism ad for Ottawa, the capital city of Canada, which touted unique and exciting activities like getting a manicure and going out for drinks as highlights of the experience.

I mean, it's Ottawa, what else are they gonna talk about haha.

At the risk of sounding like a butthurt Ottawa native, there are many fun things to do we just don’t advertise anything anyone under 50 would enjoy lmao.

I do enjoy the prevailing meme of it being a super boring place, helps keep the riff raff at bay lol.

It was just a cheap shot on my part. I have family in Gatineau and my wife is from there and in comparison, Ottawa totally rocks! I actually really like it but I just wanted to play with the stereotype.

Lmfao no worries it’s actually one of my go-to jokes with my buddies from out of town. It’s a nice place to live but I certainly agree with there being more exciting places in the country lol
