Warm weather in Ottawa

I'm in Ottawa at OLS. It was very warm here yesterday, about 30C and humid. Meanwhile, back in Canberra they had the coldest morning this century, at a brisk -12C. Funny to be going to Canada for sunshine.

It's a nice city; charming architecture around south O'Connor St where I'm staying.

I was reading the National Post at breakfast, which seems to be considered a fairly conservative paper. Nevertheless, I read a very positive editorial about the government's legislation to decriminalize possession and use of personal amounts of marijuana, and calling for outright legalization. (I don't personally like it very much, but I think current laws are pretty silly.)
