Ross of OttawaCleaning up some files. This ad on an old bit of newspaper found in our attic in last house.
I'm tempted to swing by and see if they'll still honour the offer:
Zazzoo 🇨🇦@zazzoo The cowards ran away and took their hotel with them.
@ottaross Being a sucker for Ottawa history I got curious. They say it was torn down to make room for the C.D. Howe building in 1974. Given how liens get transferred to the new owners I would assume Olympia and York would have owed you a roast turkey dinner if not for the fact that they went bankrupt 30 years ago after getting involved in Canary Warf.
It looks like the federal government bought the land back from them. You can contact Mélanie Joly, the Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development here.

Minister Joly owes you a turkey dinner for 55c plus HST.
@zazzoo Aha! Nice, well found.
I'll wire ahead and tell the minister I want the turkey, and all the fancy relishes.
