Canada’s capital city, Ottawa, is also it’s most potentially adulterous, Reuters reports. Around 1 in 5 of the population is registered on Ashley Madison, a social network aimed at married people that touts “Life is short. Have an affair” as its slogan.<\/p>\n
The sleepy city, with a population of around 883,000 boasts 189,810 users, according to Avid Life Media, the Toronto-based company that owns the service.<\/p>\n
ALM faced a huge hack this week from a group called the Impact Team, exposing 37 million users’ data in a demand to take down Ashley Madison and sister site EstablishedMen.com. The hackers referred to the site’s clients as “cheating dirtbags who deserve no discretion.”<\/p>\n
The site says that it has suspended fees for users who want to delete their accounts.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, it seems like Ottawa’s politicians and civil servants are the ones having the most difficulty staying faithful \u2014 the most-registered postal code in the city represented Parliament Hill, the seat of power in the country, Reuters reports.<\/p>\n
ALM CEO Noel Biderman thinks “power, fame and opportunity” are the likely causes of infidelity in the city. In a newspaper report published earlier this year, Biderman admitted that capital cities usually top subscription rates for the adulterous service.<\/p>\n
Ottawa residents seem to think the reason is much simpler \u2014 everyone is just bored out of their minds.<\/p>\n
“Why do you think everyone goes to Montreal to have a good time?” Kary, who refused to give her last name, told Reuters. “Ottawa is the city fun forgot.”<\/p>\n
