  04-07-2017 23:44 via ottawacitizen.com
  
  When Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group president of sports Jeff Hunt talks about the success, on and off the field, of the Ottawa Redblacks, he speaks of being “the envy of the CFL,” with the league’s youngest fan base. 
  It’s remarkable, really, for a city that skeptics, certainly with some just cause — two franchises (the Rough Riders and Renegades) had come and gone — said could never again properly support the CFL. 
  But here we are — sel

  Last week, there was scant down time for Ottawa guitarist and composer Roddy Ellias given his nightly exertions jamming into the wee hours at the TD Ottawa Jazz Festival’s jam session.
  During the day, Ellias had an assignment to finish — composing music for an original chamber opera concert. That concert, one that involves puppets, no less, takes place on Saturday as part of the Music and Beyond festival.

• Reevely: Royal motorcade broke Canada Day transit service, OC Transpo boss says

  04-07-2017 23:03 via ottawacitizen.com
  
  An abrupt police decision to use OC Transpo’s main route through downtown for a royal motorcade was responsible for freezing the heart of the transit system on Canada Day, the agency’s general manager John Manconi says.
  OC Transpo gave free rides on July 1, hoping that getting an anticipated 450,000 Canada Day revellers into and out of the core would be easier and faster using buses rather than a mix of transit and private cars. The transit system can get about 8,000 people an hour i

  Following the 1991 Persian Gulf War, U.S. Department of Defense lawyers conducted a survey of all of the law of war violations that then-Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein had committed during the conflict. The results of their study were definitive: Not one single action committed by Saddam’s forces that violated the laws of war resulted in any kind of strategic gain during the conflict. At best, the actions were neutral; at worst, they were counter-productive.

• Jazzfest review: Mark Guiliana Jazz Quartet does contemporary acoustic jazz proud

  Mark Guiliana Jazz QuartetTD Ottawa Jazz FestivalSunday night
  These days, It usually strikes me as quaint at best and gratuitous at worst for a jazz group to have the word “jazz” in its name.
  Sure, decades ago it worked for Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, the Art Farmer/Benny Golson Jazztet and the Jazz Crusaders — although that last group, in 1971, dropped the “Jazz” because they’d gotten less jazzy.
  But in 2017? Really? All the cool groups sport cool nam
