Tamara Lich, Chris Barber accused of orchestrating 2022 demonstration that took over downtown Ottawa It started more than a year ago, took nearly 50 days in a courtroom and may not be decided until next year, but the trial of two leaders of the 2022 "Freedom Convoy" protest in Ottawa finally ended Friday.

Tamara Lich and Chris Barber pleaded not guilty to mischief, intimidation, obstruction and other charges.

Crown prosecutors called 16 witnesses and presented hours of video evidence and numerous social media posts in an effort to prove their case.

I seriously hope these two racist assholes get what they deserve, but with Lawrence Greenspon as their lawyer, who knows.

The "Roaring Lion" has been found.

A 1941 portrait of British prime minister Sir Winston Churchill by famed Canadian photographer Yousuf Karsh, which was reported stolen from the lobby of Ottawa's Fairmont Château Laurier hotel in August 2022, has been located in Italy, sources tell CBC News.

I'd never heard this before, so I thought I would share.

Hey all!

I've spent a couple of days skimming the web to no result, and was wondering if anyone could provide a suggestion?

I have an old (donated) USB audio interface, which has a Linux kernel module, but only runs on x86. I was hoping to make a little project out of it, and see if I can run it from a mini PC.

Hey everyone,

Kind of quiet here, so I thought I'd ask a question that's been on my mind for a while:

What would make Ottawa better, in your view? Big or small.

For me, it would be to improve the walkability. I walk, jog, cycle, motorbike, and drive, all fairly frequently. It drives me wild how long it takes (mid winter or bad weather) from the time I press a crosswalk button, to the time the lights change. I'd love to see that improved.
