It has the same annoying bug as openstreet in that when I search for places in my town they are all shown as if they are in the town on the other side of the river in the other province ! There does not seem to be any way to submit corrections.
The top 4 results in this screenshot are located in Gatineau.
It seems like some local, Canadian problem? I don't really understand what should show this here. Can you show with a map example what search founds and the result you actually want?
Have you contacted the local community about this? The osm Canada forum seems very active: https://community.openstreetmap.org/c/communities/ca/95 You should ask/report about it here.
Other channels of local communities are listed here: https://openstreetmap.community/?map=45.37903%2C-75.97289&zoom=4.78
And Ottawa is in Ontario. It makes it hard to find places when they are listed with the wrong city.
