WASHINGTON – And so it ends, this long, wasting, costly, scalding campaign, unlike any other this country has seen in the 240 years of the Republic. On Tuesday, 146 million Americans are registered to vote (of 218 million who are eligible.) In 2012, when Barack Obama was re-elected, 126 million Americans voted. The turnout was […]

It’s all over but the counting. Now comes the hangover. As this ugliest of election campaigns concludes, we will soon know who is to be the 45th president of the United States. But all too soon we will also discover whether it was an aberration or symptomatic of the decline of the post-war liberal world order. […]

For the first time in a decade, the Dixie Chicks are headlining a tour in North America — including a stop in Ottawa this spring.

OTTAWA — Canada’s neighbour elects a new president Tuesday with either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump to take up residence in the White House.

Via this poll, please let Canada's jazz festival programmers who you'd like to see next year.

First off, I should make it clear I fully agree with the stated goal of the Conservatives’ latest opposition motion/shot across the Team Trudeau bow. Given the continuing controversy over high-priced ministerial party fundraisers, the government probably should take steps to, as sponsoring MP Blaine Calkins so pointedly puts it, “end the current practice of […]

The rock musicians who burst upon the music scene in 1971 with Sweet City Woman, a hit that is now in the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, will be rocking Ottawa on Thursday, Nov. 10. The Stampeders will bring along a string of classic hits that were the soundtrack to an era of platform shoes, love […]

One of Ottawa’s greatest natural treasures is its abundance of wildlife. You don’t have to go far in urban or suburban Ottawa to see hundreds of species of local, migratory and even Species at Risk birds, in addition to deer, raccoons, beaver, foxes, porcupines, turtles, frogs … the list goes on. Several studies have found […]

The Zumwalt-class, the US Navy’s latest and most futuristic warship class, is supposed to be capable of striking at targets 120 kilometres away with its gun system. The reason for that is because of the Long Range Land-Attack Projectile (LRLAP), a guided precision munition. But my Defense News colleague Chris Cavas is reporting that the […]

The largest federal union is meeting again with Treasury Board negotiators today after a weekend-long round of contract negotiations that were called in a last-ditch bid to revive stalled talks. The Public Service Alliance of Canada and its five large bargaining tables — representing all its members working in the federal government — have been meeting with […]

Back in October I climbed onto a small, deteriorating roof that I hadn’t walked on for 30 years, and it got me thinking about how buildings can be anchors for our lives. I’d spent the spring and summer of 1986 living in a tent on the building-free rural island property where my wife and I […]

With so many “hot tech hubs” to choose from, how does one even begin to search for the right fit? Call us silly, but we would want that city to be affordable, comfortable and have an abundance of exciting career opportunities. In Ottawa, there are over 68,000 people working in nearly 1,800 tech companies, and […]

The American presidential election has been marked by controversial, divisive and occasionally downright ridiculous statements from the candidates, not least of which has been Donald Trump’s improbable proposal to build a wall between the United States and Mexico and to somehow force the Mexican government to pay for it. Now, with the increased threats from American liberals […]

Sitting in my introductory political science course at the University of Toronto, I roll my eyes as my American professor makes yet another Donald Trump joke. Slowly weeding through her dissertation on democratic theory, she says, “All right, students, now we will be relating this concept to the United States election.” It is interesting to think […]

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau kicks off a week-long respite from the day-to-day bustle of House business by trekking to Vancouver, where he’ll start his day by touring the harbour aboard the Canadian Coast Guard Ship Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Later this afternoon, he’ll team up with Transport Minister Marc Garneau for an announcement and press conference […]

Kaitlyn Lalonde is a self-admitted yarn fanatic.  She’s the one waiting outside — rain, shine or snow — for the craft store to open, and later seen leaving with a huge bag of yarn, gushing about the new colours she just bought.  Lalonde, 28, specializes in amigurumi, a Japanese form of crochet that involves creating small, often […]
