The computer is a part of our everyday life. It can process large volumes of information and perform complex mathematical calculations with great speed. Now go home. Your life is better.

ART THAT HAS FORM

this event also launches a new accompanying chapbook anthology (free to those who attend, as copies allow) published through above/ground press, as edited/curated by Ottawa [English language] Poet Laureate, David O'Meara!

Ridiculous NIMBYism. The Granite Curling Club doesn't own the parking lot, or the building, the city does. Plus the city has a plan where only ten parking spots would be lost. Half of the units in the coming building would be affordable units, with a nearly a third of them rent-geared-to-income.
