Depending on how long ago you left Ottawa, it might surpise you to learn that Ottawa has now over 1.2 million population (from the 400,000 5 years ago) since they amalgamated all the suburbs (Nepean, Gloucester, Cumberland...) into one big city.

I left Canada about a year and a half ago. I used to live in Sandy Hill, east of downtown Ottawa, in-between Rideau river and canal.

Sandy Hill!! Small world. I lived there for 19 years on Goulburn ave. This is where I grew up. Now I live in the suburbs but I work at a University of Ottawa.

It has been few years now. Mumbai is on Western side of India bordering Arabian Sea.. Kolkatta on the eastern side very close to Bangladesh!! There are roughly ~2000 km apart!!

Yup. It was Calcutta but its name was changed about 4 yrs ago. And its quiet far from Mumbai-about 1500kms. Btw, one of my aunts lives in Mumbai. And may I ask you who is your bollywood's favourite actor.

Well, Kajol is my favourite too. And Rani Mukherjee comes next in the list.
Btw, my choices have nothing to do with the fact that the mother tongue of both of them are same as mine.

I suppose that's the gist of it. It translates great speaker of profound nonsense.

I thought I was missing some of the finer edges of the translation. Although the translation of "fabulae" is, if I remember my vocab correctly, a little more generous than "nonsense" - especially considering "fabulations" quite happily derives from the Latin...

That explains it, my latin knowledge is non-existent. Although I think there is a significant different between a great speaker of profound nonsense and a big fat liar.

Isn't a lie a statement that does not relate to reality? Surely that is a nonsense? And isn't profundity the art of showing a deep insight? Hence "profound nonsense", which is a deeply insightful false statement that combines subtlety and intellect, must be a clever and deceitful lie. I suppose the only objection I could make would be the reference to my rotundity. But would you expect anything less from a big far liar?
