‘Women-only’ gym time seems retrograde Re: Gym time for women sparks debate at Carleton, Nov 29. During my university times, I remember vividly how women who were my student peers fought for equality on so many fronts. Now, when I read that some Carleton students are attempting to have a “women’s only gym hour” I am confused as […]

Eleven people were injured before the suspect, identified as Abdul Razak Ali Artan, was shot and killed by police. McCormick and fellow Senators winger Ryan Dzingel both attended Ohio State and played for the Buckeyes hockey team from 2011-14.

Imagine you’re going to the university gym for the first time, perhaps after making a New Year’s resolution to get yourself in shape. You don’t know much about how to use the equipment, and when you walk in, the entire football team is there lifting weights. It’s probably intimidating.  Now, consider what this might feel like for a young […]

Craig Anderson will be back in the net Tuesday night. But, shortly, he’s going to take another leave of absence to spend time with his wife Nicholle, who is undergoing treatments for throat cancer at a New York-based hospital, so the Senators brought Andrew Hammond back up from their AHL affiliate in Binghamton before facing […]

As surely as the receding tide slowly unveils a submerged coastline, the current juncture in Canadian public affairs is revealing a long familiar pattern, almost as old as Canada itself: the gradual de-radicalization of a Liberal election platform. Seasoned progressives saw it coming, of course. Assigning wily veteran John McCallum the task of walking back […]

As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his team weigh their options with regard to the Trans Mountain Pipeline, they should keep the protests at Standing Rock in mind.

Multiculturalism is besieged from all sides and has nowhere to hide. Not in Europe, certainly not in Britain, France nor Germany. It is persona non-grata even now in North America. What happened to this cherished scheme of social engineering to make it deserve such a fate in the age of Donald Trump? Plainly stated, multiculturalism’s […]

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Justin Trudeau tried to make several points on the death of Fidel Castro. He wanted to salute a man of history, invoke his father’s memory, express his personal condolences and affirm Canada’s independence on Cuba. He did none of those things – at least not in a credible, persuasive way. It has brought […]

Thieves broke into the Dalhousie Food Cupboard in the Bronson Centre on the weekend, stealing food and equipment worth some $3,000 from the 30-year-old neighbourhood food bank. But already things are looking up. A beef farmer near Montebello called to offer free beef; donors are bringing food and cash; and volunteer Mike Salter said none of the 900 […]

Lanark OPP remain sty-mied after rescuing a large and largely happy pig from an anonymous life of indolence last Friday, following a Dalhousie Township resident’s report of the sow wandering on his property for three days. The pig, according to police, appeared friendly and co-operative when approached by officers, and surrendered voluntarily into custody. Nicknamed Miss […]

In my experience, handy do-it-yourselfers are usually unique in their circle of family and friends. That’s why, if you have a DIYer in your world, you probably don’t really know what holiday gift to buy them. That’s where this column can help. If you don’t know what will impress or even where to buy it, […]

Although as yet, there’s been no official notice to media, the government is expected to reveal its decision on two high-profile pipeline projects – including Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway – at some point today, very possibly even before Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet retreat behind closed doors for their regular Tuesday morning meeting.

The proposed expansion of the Château Laurier should not be allowed to go ahead in its current form, Heritage Ottawa says.

In an open letter posted […]

Before this May when Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan first brought up the idea that a “capability gap” existed with the country’s CF-18 fighter jets, no one in uniform was talking about this gap.
