Heading to Ottawa... but what to do?

I'll be heading to Ottawa, Ontario, Canada shortly and was taking a look at things to do in my downtime. There seems to be sooooooooo many things to see and do, I'm becoming a bit flustered. Anyone familiar with the city who could tell me what ranks amongst the best of the best things to see?

Skate on the Rideau Canal.
Have a BeaverTail.
Stroll in the market.
Have lunch at the Chateau Laurier.
Canadian War Musuem.
Canadian Museum of Civilization.
Parliment Hill.
Walk over the bridge from Ontario to Quebec.
Go see Lucky Ron play at the Lafayette House.
Shop at the Rideau Centre.

Go to an Ottawa Senators hockey game and enjoy some fine Canadian beer!

it depends on what you want to do there are all the historic things like the museums and things. If you like sports then don't go see the Senators play it costs TOO much go see the Ottawa 67s play at Landsdowne park it is JR A hockey and is much better than the NHL. If the canal freezes there is always is skating on it you can rent skates there if you don't bring your own. There are many good clubs in Ottawa you just have to look to see what type you want to go to Zaphod's usually has good music there for the younger set.

BTW a beaver tail is not Canadian for a hooker it is a deep fried dough pastry covered in jam however in a stroke of irony the name of the company that makes beaver tails is called Hooker's

safe journey and safe home

Believe me, there is nothing in Ottawa. It sucks, it is a prison!
