This week on Down to the City we talk about some local shawarma joints, debate over who has the better shawarma and get heated over tomatoes (not) being gross, read that however you please.

We then look at some aesthetically pleasing Instagram accounts from local businesses, here they are:

We're switching it up on Down to the City by spending more time covering and highlighting the many unique local businesses and business owners. This week we kick it off with a Canadian cannabis company that is extending its franchise to Ottawa, they operate like Uber, but for weed, and if you don't get your delivery in 60 minutes or less you get two free AAAA joints. We then talk about the idea of 'ghost kitchens' and how they are popping up everywhere in Ottawa and Toronto as well as unique Ottawa vendors on Etsy, including a guy who makes and sells costumes for furries.

We're back this week after releasing our Down to the City video with Ottawa local business, Bad Dog Vintage Co. We talk about the folk band Shakey Graves in an interesting musical discussion, followed by a very important talk for our female listeners in light of Sam Oosterhoff, the youngest MPP in Canada, and his terrible stance on abortion. 

We welcome on Ottawa filmmaker, director, producer and writer Christopher Redmond. We talk about his new show 'Stittsville on Patrol' airing on Bell Fibe and the reception it has gotten. We then get into how he creates a film, what goes into making a documentary, varying writing styles and so much more.
