In that AI defense, there’s nothing to visit/do in Ottawa except a bunch of museums and canal/river visit, and even that not recommended to swim due to Ecoli, so I would struggle too to list 10 attraction points or similar.

    Isn’t the Canadian Wildlife Service in Ottawa? Or have I been misled by “Hinterland Who’s Who”?

      Ottawa doesn't even do ghost towns right.

      I had a book on Ontario ghost towns, so while working a gig in Ottawa, I went to one of them. It wasn't so much a ghost town as it was a bend in the road with a forest and a field, and no hint that it was ever anything besides that.

      You can always drive slowly past CFB Lietrim and admire the scenes from ECHELON / Five Eyes spy programs. There was a time that base officially did not exist, and those giant white golf balls were "laundry facilities." So there is that.

    You can always enjoy Ottawa's night scene. In your hotel watching reruns on cable TV, I suppose.

I recently spotted a crazy tourism article about visiting cathedrals, with a listicle and photos of the putative tourists. It was hilarious.

First they named at least three massive, famous non-cathedrals and didn't even attempt to explain or qualify their classification.

The photos clearly depicted a woman and a girl in sleeveless, light summer dresses, and I was screaming. They'll never be admitted to church dressed like that, but this was explained, and then they were pictured donning shawls.

It was just a random clickbait from my feed, but it was peak irresponsible journalism.
