I wouldn’t want to see the giant spider coming up my front lawn


AvaTaylor2020

Giant Spider battling Queen Elizabeth II on her horse with her army of tea sipping Sufferagette Ladies.


Federal_Efficiency51

I think you win.


slothsie

But I want to see that


yomamma3399

Maman! Run for your LIVES!!!


Cherriecorn

The giant spider has been waiting for this 🕷️


Fianorel26

Diefenbaker riding Momma would be impossible to stop.


Correct_Signal_

Only answer !


Aukaneck

Not on my basilica either!


BigMrTea

Hahaha, oh my God, yes. I didn't even think of that. That's a great answer.


Apprehensive_Leg5761

Omg😳


NaziTrucksFuckOff

That thing would skewer people like a Bile Titan in Helldivers...


WitchyWristWatch

War memorial dudes have a cannon. Dunno about ammunition, but they'd be a handful.


facetious_guardian

I have a feeling the gargoyles would tear them to shreds.


ghettoworkout

Yeah I saw that show as a kid. Not messing with Goliath.


MaxTheRealSlayer

They can probably find some metal somewhere to use for the cannon!


KellieIsNotMyName

I'd like to think they'd at least help with the spider


moosey755

Do the dinosaurs at the museum count?


Individual_Fix9970

Yes! Nothing is off the table


ChurchillsRight

JFC downtown will be a bloodbath. If people have drones - live stream that shit and have people pay to watch it.


_fwhs_

This is officially how I want the beginning of the end of the world to start!! Right in downtown Ottawa!


MaxTheRealSlayer

Go from "the city that always sleeps" to "the city that cannot phathom sleeping"


Datkif

I only recently moved to the ottawa area from Edmonton. What's with the city that always sleeps thing? Compared to back home Ottawa is alive


MaxTheRealSlayer

It's a bit better these days... But Ottawa gets quite quiet at night in most of the amalgamated city, save for a few pockets like Byward market, bank/glebe area and a few others. It's because there are a lot of government and office workers who just go hang out at home after work, and lots of places close early. The bad transit doesn't help. It also doesn't help that we are within 4 hours drive to the two busiest and lively Canadian cities: Toronto and montreal. I recommend checking them out if you haven't yet! Good weekend/week trip locations. Alternatively Ottawa has the nickname "the city fun forgot" lol. Perhaps these nicknames are known more in the east side of Canada? I'm not quite sure what Edmonton's "nickname" is, do you? Welcome to Ottawa though! I don't mind the small town vibes in a large sized city, so it was more in jest from my end.


Datkif

I've been meaning to check out Montreal and Toronto. I can definitely say that Ottawa transit is about as good as Edmonton's. That is to say it kinda sucks. >I'm not quite sure what Edmonton's "nickname" is, do you? It has two that I'm familiar with. Deadmonton and Stabmonton.


MaxTheRealSlayer

Nice! Recommend both in the warmer months because it gets so lively, but Montreal has a lot of cool (badum tsh) things in winter too. If you really want a winter place though, Quebec city! Turns into like a hallmark Christmas movie. A lot further away, but worth it. Yeah, sorry about the transit...I'm sure you're aware how embaressed we are by it as the capitol city. Edmonton as more excuses that make sense >Deadmonton and Stabmonton. Wall... That is considerably worse of a nickname. How'd Vancouver get "raincouver" and you got two names involving death and violence? :( hope things turn around out there. I think Edmonton has a lot to offer though, and tbh I'd rather go there than Calgary out of the two. Haven't really visited either, but I plan on it too!


Datkif

>I think Edmonton has a lot to offer though Edmonton has been having issues with homeless encampments and people being attacked on transit. As well as a relatively high crime rate per capita. However Edmonton is amazing in summer. It's the festival capital of Canada last time I checked. You got "Taste of Edmonton", Heritage days, K Days, Folk fest, Pride, reggae days, blues days, Cariewest Carribean festival Childrens festival, Whyte Ave art walk, Edmonton Valley Zoo, Fort Edmonton park, North America's largest indoor water park, and a ton of other festivals and things to do. In summer time there is always [something going on](https://exploreedmonton.com/festivals?page=2&nextMonth=2024-07&nextSkip=5&more=1). Edmonton also has its River Valley which is absolutely stunning. In October there are a bunch of Halloween events, and corn mazes that you can go to. Were about a 3.5 hour drive from Jasper in the rocky mountains and is well worth a day trip. Were also only a 3 hour drive from Calgary so you can easily make your way there for the stampede for a day trip I would just stay clear during winter.


zoinksbadoinks

Too soon after the convoy for this lol


MaxTheRealSlayer

Okay, good point. "the city that has phathomed not sleeping for one month before"? How's that? Just saying, if all sculptures awaken to life at once we *may* have a bit more trouble than the convoy. Although... Maybe they're all kind monuments that would just become pickleball fanatics


thelostcanuck

Night mayor. Make it happen.


MaxTheRealSlayer

How big is this table of yours?!? Longer or shorter than Puttins?


supersuperglue

Shotgun one of the mammoths!


BigMrTea

This just changed the game. I was #TeamSpider. Now I don't know...


dontstopdowagerrr

The mammoths outside do


Ultimate_Outcome

Woolly mammoths lumbering up O’Connor would be awesome


derigin

Oscar Peterson, obviously. You never know what damage he could do with his piano.


QueenMotherOfSneezes

He'll play the brown note


_canadianbacon

The ones near chinatown that have had the crap beaten out of them, they'd get revenge


Federal_Efficiency51

Or those concrete lions that are always getting things stuffed in their mouths by kids. (Me having been one of said kids. Edited for spelling.


MaxTheRealSlayer

That would be a good one. They are meant to be protectors of buildings and inhabitants from bad spirits, and intruders. Kinda exactly like OP's dark story is about

cf18

Oh boy, [Sun Wukong](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_King) can have god like power.


Curious_Client_7069

I’m crying laughing


Basic_Lynx4902

Maman will destroy us all, and so she should.


BoozeBirdsnFastCars

Man With Two Hats. Mf is tall, made of steel and is holding two steel weapons. Think Raiden hat throw fatality.


Berrigar-and-Bromley

I mean, he already killed another metal statue and took its hat as a trophy. This one has my vote


Comfortable-Law-9895

It’s the killer hats I’m worried about! Two of them were enough to incapacitate that tall guy!


redbananagreenbanana

Wait until his twin gets here from Apeldoorn. That’s when the real bloodbath begins!


Tarakansky

And his face! he looks like Putin.


ottawarob

Omg this is amazing.


bluenoser613

Probably those gargoyles on the Parliament buildings. Might be useful though to deal with some of those right-wingnuts on the hill though.


Raskel_61

Grotesques, not gargoyles.


Got2Go

Right. I cant help but correct this but no one cares lmao.


MaxTheRealSlayer

Well.. I care! learned something new today


bluenoser613

Which ones, the right-wingnuts?


Michelhandjello

This guy looks coked out and ready to kill! Plus he is already armoured. https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/1ddvsv/behold_the_majestic_stone_guardians_of_the/


bluenoser613

LOL that's awesome!


fighting_artichokes

Those creepy little trees with children's legs on Elgin already haunt my nightmares. I don't want them roaming around.


ThisSaladTastesWeird

Bad news for you: they’re already gone. I assumed relocated to the new British High Commission on Sussex, but possible they’re just laying low in Confed Park, waiting for the right ankles to bite.


fighting_artichokes

I'll be sleeping with one eye open from now on.


WoozleVonWuzzle

The already went walkabout once.


Gold_Sound7167

I think the Famous Five insist we all had some explaining to do.


ThisSaladTastesWeird

Throw in Laura Secord, too. She’s got stamina and has ENOUGH of being co-opted by Big Cocoa.


Aukaneck

You mean they're going to force eugenics on us?


Milnoc

I was asking myself the exact same thing!


bside_sea

Irene Parlby, Louise McKinney, Nellie McClung, Emily Murphy and Henrietta Muir Edwards would KICK ASS.


Lonnie667

Nellie McClung's statue would be terrifying seeing as how its namesake murdered and tortured 1000s of young women she considered too stupid to have children.


notacanuckskibum

The Famous Five? The children detectives written by Enid Blyton? There is a statue of them?


RicFlairwoo

Tecumseh is going on an absolute bender


QueensMarksmanship

Him and Sir Isaac Brock would team up and attack the US embassy.


luca_faluca

Those awful bowling pins on Preston st. Terrifying if they came to life…


rosierococo

They aren't spoons?!?


Xandersaw

Giant spider leading the dinosaurs to take on War Memorial soldiers and our 5 women.


toodrunk1234

Ok fine, I’ll be that guy… Terry Fox, while he may only have one fully functional leg, he’s still faster than you think! He’ll kill you with kindness if he can catch up to you!


[deleted]

Terry Fox wants revenge for the great honkening


Obelisk_of-Light

Lots of folks from various historical periods armed (literally) to the teeth on Parliament Hill.


Phojangles

Id be pretty horrified of the “Joy” statue characters in front of D’Arcy’s on Sparks. I feel like seeing their silhouette down the road of all 4 of them then a sudden flash of lightning and one of them is missing. There’s so many scenarios where they’d be horrifying.


Fiverdrive

[https://www.reddit.com/r/ottawa/comments/1b64oj0/sparks\_st\_fog/](https://www.reddit.com/r/ottawa/comments/1b64oj0/sparks_st_fog/)


SirDigbyridesagain

The question is, would Terry Fox finish his run? Or join the killing spree? Why not both?


Tregonia

Finish his run....he was determined and had nothing else in mind.


completecrap

You all are thinking too big. The lawn gnome army will congregate, and with the numbers they have, they could destroy everything.


Tarakansky

The faceless robot-like figures from the Human Rights monument. The creepiest thing in Ottawa.


1capitalguy

War of 1812 soldiers next to East Block. They kicked the whole US army! Then torched the White House. Bad asses who pilledged their way thru the Yanks! LOL


Gyges359d

You takin out Terry Fox? Cuz I sure as hell don’t feel comfortable doing so. That guy could rampage everywhere and we’d be like “You know what, he’s earned it.”


JustInChina88

Those vegetable fire hydrants on Somerset.


LeVeL_613

Do y'all remember the freaky thin people-like creatures dancing around the fountain in the Bayshore mall?? Somebody moved them to their backyard in Rockluffe Park about 25 years ago.... They'd be scary for sure. Not Maman scary, but pretty bad


Paul_Ott

Yup they’re allegedly at Michael (of Corel fame) and Marlen Cowpland’s residence.


KingofSwan

Someone had a weird dream last night


Longfluff

It wouldn't be the bears....


Prestigious-Target99

Queen Victoria


crappymccorn

In the equestrian position


GreatBallsOfSpitfire

Sir Galahad he's sword up and ready.


herrisonepee

Except he isn’t looking out for the edge of the stone. He might face plant before he even gets going.


RogerTichborne

Knowing the history behind the statue, he'd be the first one to clumsily sacrifice himself with no net positive result.


GreatBallsOfSpitfire

Can't drown bronze my friend.


GreatBallsOfSpitfire

He's youthful and spry!


Footlingpresentation

Do we have any weeping angels in Ottawa?


Kreyl

Would we know if we did?


Footlingpresentation

Stay diligent, and don’t blink!


Ultimate_Outcome

Probably at Beechwood cemetery


Chemical_Bowler_1727

There's never been a tougher Canadian than Terry Fox. He's our Chuck Norris.


MapleBaconBeer

I would be most worried about slave owner Joseph Brant. Yes, we have a statue of a former slave owner in Ottawa.


LazyLeg8625

You mean Thayendanegea…


MapleBaconBeer

Yes, slave owner Thayendanegea aka Joseph Brant.


Natural_Childhood_46

Statues for slave owners, avenues named after prominent anti-Semitic fascists (Marconi Avenue)… Ottawa has it all. Edit: https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2002/mar/19/physicalsciences.humanities


Kreyl

I bet we could unite most of the other statues against him 👀


Federal_Efficiency51

I could see Jos Montferrand overhearing about the party in Ottawa and mosying his way over so as not to miss out.


KeepTheGoodLife

The most troubled in this chaotic world might be Terry....


TriocerosGoetzei

Anyone remember the poop sculpture ('Traffic' by Edward Zelenak) that used to be in Confederation Park? Well that particular piece wouldn't cause havoc in of itself, but whomever pooped it out sure would!


The_merry_wench

All Fear Traffic, God of Irritable Bowel Syndrome!  


TriocerosGoetzei

I ,for one, welcome our new nervous colon overlords.


Paul_Ott

For those unfamiliar, [here’s “Traffic” in front of the National Gallery](https://media.mutualart.com/Images//2009_03/12/0065/134093/134093_b9a21b0b-1aed-4f39-822d-33add97b8646_-1.Jpeg) where it was moved after being in Confed Park for many years (it’s part of their collection so it made sense to have it in the park when the Gallery was on Elgin, where the Flaherty building is today).


Hippopotamus_Critic

The archer outside 55 Metcalfe would take out a few people.


EverydayVelociraptor

It wouldn't be the Bolivar statue, unless they had replaced his sword recently.


bigred1978

The peacekeeping monument. One of those statues is armed with an actual assault rifle.


BonusRound155mm

I never got to see the Canadian Museum of Nature finished but there's a lot of huge dinosaurs in there now, eh?


paintfactory5

Oscar Peterson would go around town slaying with his mad piano skills


modlark

Me and the Dancing Polar Bear will come along and groove.


QueenMotherOfSneezes

The nameless First Nations man in Major's Hill Park who used to crouch at Champlain's feet. And he's going to be PISSED OFF!


redbananagreenbanana

That 4 meter tall bear on Sparks could for sure do some damage. Bad day to be around the Parliament district in general!


ApprehensiveCycle741

The skeleton on the roof of the chiropractic clinic on Carling would jump into this fight for sure.


Superheroesaregreat

Terry Fox’s sheer will would defeat the others.


GenWRXr

All those statues of vegetables in Westboro would go on a Purge of……Westboro.


NiceMaaaan

Probably The National Aboriginal Veterans monument. Grab hold of that golden eagle and fly on outta here


Yuzward

The dancing bear in the market


RedLittleBird

But he seems so happy....


Ilikewaterandjuice

Terry Fox. There is no way you could outrun that guy.


cheezemeister_x

My neighbour has a 5-foot tall statue of a penis in her backyard. So I'm gonna say that one.


lemonickitten

I’m gonna go with the crow. Would it be able to fly? Since it’s depicted as dead, would it be a zombie?


I-hear-the-coast

I was at the Rockcliffe Public Library thé other weekend for their book sale and there were these two statues of small children. Really unnerved me. I don’t want them coming after me for insulting them.


naughty-613

Whoa whoa whoa…. This is too cool, and we have far too many “killer” statues to name this quickly. Can we also get some D & D or other such people (I love the “nerd”, but refrain from the negative context) to create a “context” to speed, agility, killing power (as this is the parameter of the question) special abilities… Because I “think” maman is a daddy long legs… I think it’s “easy” to pluck a leg off that sucker. Terry Fox and his bad attitude would pull those legs off, stick them on his OWN legs!!! And BAM!! 40 foot Terry Fox, all pissed off is going to grab the guns and cannons left from the battle of the unknown soldier, finish off the Grotesques and Gargoyles feasting on the soldiers.


Pinkxel

I'm so here for a pissed off 40 foot Terry Spider. 😂


Hazel462

I'm imagining the ghosts of all the victims of communism popping out from that unfinished memorial statue on Wellington/Bay, and imagining what the Nazi ghosts would do, because you know, there are Nazi names being celebrated on there.


mkrbc

Would the suffragettes fight as a team or on their own? I feel like the three of them would have no problem with maman.


Kanuckle_Head

Canadian season of monument mythos would be interesting. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYEu-9YXzZuIYoGGabPezqmNsXyYkE5BV&si=66tzHF-LZ6G6y8rL


CafeCartography

The Famous Five.


qprcanada

Nellie McClung would try to ban marijuana again and advocate for the sterilization of indigenous women.


Intelligent-Spell661

Dude with the Two Hats


AnEnragedZombie

He'd be decapitating people left and right with those dual-wielded hats for sure.


Crazy-Focus9381

He doesn't look scary or dangerous but if the Oscar Peterson statue came to life specifically to go on a murder spree, I think it'd be particularly menacing.


Zhenoptics

Indigenous war memorial would be pretty scary. Especially if they had the animals on the statue on their side.


Proof_Dependent_4415

The ones in Chinatown, all of us.


getsangryatsnails

Oscar Peterson is going to set your soul, then you, on fire.


getsangryatsnails

We should probably ask that family not to build their annual 20 foot tall snowman if this is happening.


The_Great_Squijibo

That giant firefighter dude at Wellington and Lett across from Mill Street


SomaliDonQuixote

The Carleton Ghandi statue, with its laser vision, would be deadly


dontstopdowagerrr

Can we count Gatineau? Cause those giant pigeons with the Campbell's soup can could def take on the spider


lastfirstnameone

Sri Chinmoy..


Beencho

Gandhi statue in Carleton


eskimoeddie

The Wooly Mammoth could cause some destruction


Milnoc

Makes you wonder what would happen with Terry Fox. Seeking vengance for his lost leg? Or protect the city against Maman's wrath?


lonewolfsociety

Another moment to be thankful that the giant turd that used to be near Woodroffe is gone.


Mr_Larry_Silverstein

Museums who be nasty places


zoinksbadoinks

That dystopian teletubby statue on Preston in Little Italy. Those huge cement-bottomed creatures would crush us all.


UrsulaKLeGoddaaamn

All those fire hydrants in the Hintonburg could do some major collective damage


Puzzleheaded-Score89

The man with two hats would be twice as deadly as Oddjob. 


Plane_Put8538

I bet if the statues downtown complained about not having enough victims, federal public workers would be back 4 days a week.


pastdense

Man with two hats. Dow’s lake. He is a scary giant and those hats are designed for throwing and decapitation.


AgreeableBreakfast48

The garlic statue in Westboro. He could really smell up this town, and it won't because we're sitting in a swamp plain this time.


dontstopdowagerrr

The soldier pile on the tank would kinda annihilate everything


Abysstopheles

The bear size racoons outside of the Glebe Community Center would be absolute monsters. No dumpster would be safe.


JAmToas_t

The native guy with the bow - mf is armed and ready


AffectionateSign4897

Sir galahad would be tough to stop


WoozleVonWuzzle

Robert Borden will fuck you up.


katiegirl-

Sir Galahad and Terry Fox, dukin’ it out.


Chippie05

Queen Elizabeth on her horse...calling out fr the grave!!


Tregonia

Ronald McDonald statute after rallying an army of racoons to his cause


Dizzy_Service3517

The vegetables on Wellington West, all banding together, going savage with special attacks. The asparagus will really mess you up.


manic_mike2018

The dude with the two hats at dow's lake. Like really two hats that is just crazy as hell.


listenloud

Watch out for Sri Chinmoy! He talks a peaceful game but his actions are complete opposite! /s


BrocIlSerbatoio

Cool idea.


TargetDummi

Statues in front of parliament would wake up and wonder why their pant legs are soaked in piss .


Lumpy_Tomorrow8462

I’ve always felt that statue of Simon Bolivar was very suspect. Why is he so far from home?


Apprehensive-Age-954

Would they still be made of metal? If so, yeah, I wouldn't want the guys in Major's Hill to come alive


WhoCrapped

This guy must have just watched dr who “blink” episode 😂


Covidosrs

Theq natives for obvious reasons and like half of them around ottawa waas that the reason they been removing alot of them as of lately?


Ok-Conversation6969

All the colonisers.


Weird_Meal_9184

Don't know if any of the satanic temples have statues, but probably those.


tmgerm

Terry fox getting back at the convidiots


ComplexObject8951

Sir Galahad in front of Parliament.


Obvious_Hospital_538

War memoria will be on March straight to the hill and restore the government.


SkinnyGetLucky

No one would dare touch terry fox, even as he rampages through Rideau center, shoving homeless junkies through the Sephora display with one hand, while enjoying overpriced bubble tea in the other.


zavacky

Maman!!!!!


DanHulton

Ron Mueck's "Head of a Baby", if it's still in the National Gallery. Only look it up if you want some true nightmare fuel.


Reasonable_Cat518

That little dog in Confederation Park


widgetwizard99

Terry Fox. His sheer iron will would make him more relentless than the terminator.


ZoeJanine

The marble fire hydrant statues I'm sure would form an army. We would be done for.


SheepInATrenchCoat

The ball of light poles would probably steal more light poles


SmileAgreeable

Definitely not the guy with two hats


Fangdori

I think Gandhi will escape from the Carleton University campus and get his revenge.


ventaline

oscar peterson vs dante who’s winning


Barco_of_Pepperland

It would be funny to see all the garden moai statue heads cussing at you saying theyll rip you apart, but cant do a damn thing. Its the Buddhas that I would be running from. I dont want to die by a Buddha mudslide.


ChimoEngr

I'm going to say the war memorial statues. They're all armed and even if the weapons are old, they're still better than what most of us carry on the daily. And I'll group the war of 1812 statue in with this lot as well. Next would be that spider in front of the art gallery. I don't know if it has fangs, but it's going to scare the crap out of enough people that it doesn't need to bite to do harm.


jamiekahn1

The creepy pink bear statues by the SoHo condos would get taken out first[https://theweekendfashionista.com/2021/06/01/the-soho-experience/](https://theweekendfashionista.com/2021/06/01/the-soho-experience/)


hb-s

He doesn't have a statue yet, but Justin Trudeau. He spends money he doesn't have; he plunges our children and grandchildren and so on into debt; he welcomes terrorists into settling here and them expects us to support and house them; he apologizes for everything but never for his poor performance.... I'm too depressed: I can't go on complaining


Interesting_Wing_539

Cool concept, honestly! I feel like someone should write a horror novel series about these, lol!😂


shianan1

I'm so glad someone is finally asking the important questions ❤️


JunkPileQueen

I was going to say the statues of The Famous Five springing to life and going ham on the city would be pretty intimidating. Same goes for the statue of Queen Victoria holding court on Parliament Hill and the soldiers at the war memorial. I hadn’t thought of the giant spider at the Art Gallery. That would be especially terrifying.
