We have heard a lot about the success of the new Halifax Library, and its unique architecture certainly contributes to this. But another factor in its success is something more basic: its location on Spring Garden Road. It is surrounded by shopping, businesses, a university and a residential neighbourhood. Realtors have a cliché for this. The […]

The presence of the federal government and its many tourist-attracting institutions has meant that Ottawa has never had to be smart about tourism, but do we have to go out of our way to be the opposite?

WASHINGTON – As the inauguration of Donald Trump approaches, the mood in this city is somewhere between “La La Land,” the surprise hit musical movie, and “You Want it Darker,” Leonard Cohen’s last, lugubrious album.

Q: This fruit jar sat in my father-in-law’s drive shed for years until he decided to use it. He thought it had been full of oil or molasses, and discovered this dark amber glass colour when he tried to wash it out. Since then several people have suggested it may be worth something, and we’ve […]

Nicholle Anderson is counting the days — Ottawa Senators style — until she can return to Canada.

Having Alaine Chartrand as an example of what working harder and smarter can do for a skater is priceless, say two juniors who have watched her train first-hand.

ST. LOUIS — The goal the rest of the way for the Ottawa Senators is pretty simple and straightforward. “Make the playoffs and go,” winger Bobby Ryan said Monday.

First and foremost, your heart goes out to Craig Anderson and his family when the goalie’s wife gets dragged into a fight with a despicable, deadly disease.
