Local score composer David Burns and Ottawa rock ‘n’ roller Matt Ouimet have a chance to share the stage together in Pasadena this weekend as nominees for a Daytime Emmy.

It can be prescribed by […]

This week, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau scrambled to douse trade fires and Kevin O’Leary tossed a final wrench into the Tory leadership, a lesser-known figure, Sen.

There aren’t many guarantees in life, politics or sports. One assumed guarantee was a capacity crowd for an NHL playoff game in a Canadian city. Ottawa fans are turning that notion on its ear. For Thursday’s Round 2 opener against the New York Rangers, hundreds of empty seats were conspicuous at all three arena levels, […]

Those who didn’t show up have no idea what they missed.

Ontario’s health-care focused budget will give struggling hospitals a boost, but it won’t solve the ongoing crisis that has seen patients cared for on stretchers in hallways in recent months.

With the promise of funding in the Ontario budget tabled Thursday, Ottawa’s first supervised drug-injection site will almost certainly open later this year.
