That’s not even close to the truth. There are about 190 shawarma places in Ottawa.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ottawa/comments/vxov5u/shawarma_shops_per_million_inhabitants/
that's only a count of the first tier shawarma shops, it doesn't count the ones that are located inside another business.
OR the ones in people's homes..
I countered your original absurd-statistic's downvotes by 1, because it is funny.
All the people who have become sooo damaged by political-outrage that you can't recognize humor, when you see it,
this thread is brilliant fun.
& that somebody actually did the statistics on shawarma joints in Canadian cities, per capita, that's just icing on the cake.
1 shawarma place per 8 people?? .. how the hell could that not be recognized as japing, by the people who downvoted it??
Humans!
