Is there anyone in my circles who'd like a smallish pile of back issues of The Hill Times? It's a twice-a-week newspaper about government stuff here in Ottawa, and I've occasionally bought a copy now and then across the last decade. I haven't kept track of which issues, what stories are covered, etc.. But I'd like to get them out of the house and into the hands of someone who might find the actual hardcopy editions useful and/or entertaining, rather than towards recycling firms or landfill. (And I can't trust that the firm(s) hired by City Hall won't divert to landfill.)

Ideally, it would be someone in Ottawa-Gatineau. But if you're willing to cover postage and handling...?

"...and then it's off to drop off another batch of video tapes at the recyclers..."

And if I'd had enough sleep, I'd have remembered to check ahead before going to the recyclers.

Who are closed for the entire Easter weekend.
