This is probably a stupid comment, but I've noticed a surprising amount of rabbits this summer. I've seen at least a dozen in the last month, which strikes me as odd since I live downtown and the only animals I'm used to seeing are squirrels, pigeons, and hobos.
When I think of rabbits I think of the woods and grassy fields. I don't think of the city. So I'm surprised to see rabbits hopping along the sidewalks, or chilling in front of Starbucks. Are rabbits the new rat? Because that would be awesome.
I never noticed any rabbits last summer, so I can only assume that this is part of some city-wide initiative in Ottawa to make things more adorable. Did they feed Viagra to a bunch of bunnies and let them loose on Parliament Hill? I'm sure I would have seen something in the paper about that.
Or maybe this is the start of an unstoppable outbreak of rabbits that is quickly getting out of control. Soon they'll be overwhelming the streets, knocking over garbage cans, eating all the flowers, and trampling people to death in the cutest stampede you've ever seen.
In any case I support this development. The only thing I recommend is that we dress them up in waistcoats with pocket watches.
