This community is to ask not discuss.

Usually it's asking for the purpose of generating discussion.

Like, "What is the capital of Canada" doesn't seem like a good question.

"Why is Ottawa the capital of Canada" seems like a better question.

"Who knows the capital of Canada" and then following it up with "ok and what is the longest street there" seems a bit silly.

While not in the spirit of it, no rules are broken so it is acceptable.

Do you know the longest street in Ottawa?

[-] otp@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

I live nowhere near Ottawa, so I'd just be looking it up, lol

Imma go ahead and say Bank St and wait to be proven wrong (think it actually is though).

Edit: I'm technically wrong, it's Dwyer Hill Road at 70 km long. Stupid amalgamation...

A place to ask Canadians questions and get answers. The most obvious questions would be about Canada, but you can ask about pretty much anything; news, current events, society, etc

I don't intend this as an AMA format, but can entertain some. Rules:

  1. Be civil and act in good faith.
  2. No trolling.
