Car dealership proposal at busy south-end intersection fumes homeowners
An auto dealer wants to lock down a quadrant of one of the busiest intersections in Ottawa, but nearby residents and the local councillor are hoping to put the brakes on a plan that would build at least one car dealership on a field near the Rideau River.
Anyone who regularly drives on Prince of Wales Drive would know the land well, mostly for its lack of development on what could be considered a gateway to urban Ottawa. The 7.95-acre property at 2175 Prince of Wales Dr., near the southeast corn -

Woman in stable condition after being found with stab wounds
A woman has been taken to hospital after she was found with stab wounds near Carling Avenue and Clyde Avenue on Monday afternoon.
Paramedics say the woman was taken to hospital in serious condition, but that she was stable and her injuries were not life-threatening. They also said that police had been called, and referred all further questions to police.
Police said that they received a call for a “disturbance” shortly before 3 p.m. on Greenwood Avenue. Police said they could not yet -
Ottawa police officer lends toddler a hand with his fishing
Sometimes you just don’t want the weekend to end. That was the case on Monday: Fadel Gouni, 3, had just returned from a weekend camping trip and was out in his front yard casting his line — important stuff for a budding fisherman — when he got a helping hand.
The great (and fictional) Gordon Gekko once said that “a fisherman always sees another fisherman from afar.” That held true when an Ottawa police officer, Sgt. Randy Stockdale noticed the young boy working on h -
Deif and Neve: Why Canada should take in Snowden-linked asylum seekers
It’s been 15 years since Ajith Debagama Kankanalamage fled Sri Lanka after a decade of torture and sexual abuse by the military. He thought he was headed to Canada, but he was abandoned by brokers without his passport or money in Hong Kong, where he filed for asylum and waited interminably for the unsympathetic bureaucracy to grind its wheels.
A decade into this limbo, he had an extraordinary encounter that gave him hope. In 2013, his lawyer introduced him to another of his clients, Edward -

Ottawa Bluesfest hatching plans after Killdeer nests at site of main stage
Call it Bluesnest.
Organizers of the 24th annual RBC Bluesfest are awaiting word from Environment Canada and the National Capital Commission on what to do with a family of killdeer that has made its home at what’s supposed to be the summer music festival’s main grounds.
Options include relocating the nest or gathering the eggs and having experts such as those at the Wild Bird Care Centre incubate them until they hatch, Bluesfest executive director Mark Monahan said Monday morning in -

In the pause between one jackhammering tune and its follow-up, alto saxophonist Peter Van Huffel, who leads the group Gorilla Mask, injected a bit of levity into his TD Ottawa Jazz Festival concert Sunday night.
After announcing his composition Blood Stain, Van Huffel, a Canadian expat who leads this Berlin-based trio, told listeners to get ready for a “happy title,” which turned out to be Rampage. Later, when he -
Police seek witnesses to alleged 2.5-hour sexual assault near Heron Gate
A woman in her 20s reported that a man forced her to walk with him for 2.5 hours late Sunday night, all the while “continuously” sexually assaulting her until she was rescued by police.
Detectives with the sexual assault and child abuse unit say they’ve arrested a 20-year-old suspect in the alleged incident and are now looking for witnesses to the incident or anyone who’s experienced something similar.
Police were called to the area of Baycrest and Cedarwood drives in the -
Former uOttawa hockey players found not guilty of sexual assault
THUNDER BAY – Former University of Ottawa hockey players David Foucher and Guillaume Donovan have been found not guilty of sexually assaulting a woman in a Thunder Bay hotel room in 2014.

Monday’s verdict was the latest benchmark in the four-year-old saga that began in the late-night hours af -
Three hurt in rear-end crash on Highway 174
Paramedics rushed three people to hospital after their car was rear-ended by a van on Highway 174 Monday.
It happened at about noon at Jeanne D’Arc Boulevard and landed one of the vehicles in the ditch, Ottawa police said.
A young woman in her late teens was taken to the trauma centre in stable condition with abdominal injuries, paramedics said. A woman in her 40s with injuries to her face and a man in his 20s with a concussion were both in stable condition at a local hospital.

'We were all scared': School bus carrying kids hits Findlay Creek house
An out-of-control school bus that left a trail of damage in Findlay Creek on Monday morning had tight-knit neighbours marveling at the mayhem but grateful that no one in the five homes it hurtled past, nor any of the nine kids aboard, had been hurt.
The bus had been headed for École élémentaire catholique Bernard-Grandmaître when things went wrong.
First, the vehicle appears to have sideswiped a pick-up truck parked on White Alder Avenue.
Then, the trail of burnt rubbe -

So-called Cirque du Soleil disease afflicts the extremely flexible
Some call it the Cirque du Soleil disease.
That’s because the Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS) tend to affect people who are exceptionally flexible: gymnasts, dancers, contortionists. The disorders weaken the body’s connective tissue, which means that most people with Ehlers-Danlos have highly elastic joints and stretchy skin.
An experts panel described the unusual epidemiology of the rare disease in the March 2017 issue of the American Journal of Medical Genetics: “For many -

Concert Review: Hush Point at the 2018 TD Ottawa Jazz Festival
Hush Point2018 TD Ottawa Jazz FestivalNAC Fourth StageJuly 24, 6 p.m.
If there was an award given for best standup comedian at the 2018 TD Ottawa Jazz Festival, it would likely have to go to trumpeter John McNeil of Hush Point.
The eternally hip 70-year-old elder statesman in a New York-based quartet filled out by musicians a generation younger, McNeil was as scintillating when he cracked jokes between tunes as he was when he put his trumpet to his lips.
My favourite line from McNeil emerged nea -

Kassam: What will health care look like under Doug Ford?
Ontario is officially Ford Nation. While pundits perform campaign autopsies, the Progressive Conservatives have to quickly transition from opposition to governance. This may prove challenging for a dysfunctional party that has little experience in doing so over the past 15 years.
Chief among the criticisms of Ford during the election campaign was his woeful lack of costed policy specifics. These details are especially crucial for patients and health care providers because system reform requires -
Heritage Canada promises faster lineups for Canada Day on the Hill
If there was one thing everyone remembers from the much-hyped Canada Day on Parliament Hill last year, it was the lineups.
As rain drenched the city, so grew the lineups: long chains of poncho-ed partygoers, snaking through downtown as thousands of people waited to get on the Hill to celebrate the country’s sesquicentennial birthday.
Hundreds of citizens wrote letters (some of them very angry) to Heritage Canada about the lineups; complaints poured in on social media all day long; former m -

Canada’s contribution to the UN has reached an all-time low, says analyst

On the eve of our Mali deployment, Canada’s contributions to other UN missions has reached an all-time low, he noted. “Not since the creation of peacekeeping forces in 1956 has the number of military personnel been lower (currently 19),” Dorn told Defence Watc -
Blues-loving bird: Killdeer nests right where Bluesfest main stage is to be erected
A killdeer has already staked out its seats for the RBC Ottawa Bluesfest, but the bird is proving a headache for festival organizers.
The killdeer’s chosen nest site is right where the main stage is to be erected later this week on the site at LeBreton Flats near the Canadian War Museum. Yellow caution tape surrounds the nest and Bluesfest organizers were to update the media Monday morning on how they plan to deal with the bird.
Bluesfest opens July 5.

By the time Canada Day rolls around, tens of thousands of people will have taken in one show or another at the 2018 TD Ottawa Jazz Festival. But after its first weekend, it’s looking like the 150 or so music fans who packed the NAC’s Fourth Stage on Saturday night to hear Norwegian saxophonist Marius Neset could be the ones gloating about catching the show that was not to be missed.

A killdeer has already staked out its seats for the for the RBC Ottawa Bluesfest, but the bird is proving a headache for festival organizers.
The killdeer’s chosen nest site is right where the main stage is to be erected later this week. Yellow caution tape surrounds the nest and Bluesfest organizers were to update the media Monday morning with how they plan to deal with the bird.

A total of nine people were taken to the hospital, “mainly for overdoses,” said paramedics, who reported they teamed up with the Canadian Ski Patrol at the festival and worked with organizers of the electronic dance music ( -

So-called Cirque du Soeil disease afflicts the extremely flexible
Some call it the Cirque du Soleil disease.
That’s because the Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS) tend to affect people who are exceptionally flexible: gymnasts, dancers, contortionists. The disorders weaken the body’s connective tissue, which means that most people with Ehlers-Danlos have highly elastic joints and stretchy skin.
An experts panel described the unusual epidemiology of the rare disease in the March 2017 issue of the American Journal of Medical Genetics: “For many -
Rare disease means Ottawa woman exercises to 'hold her bones in place'
On a bad day, Ottawa’s Nicoleta Woinarosky falls apart.
Woinarosky suffers from a rare genetic disease, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), which makes her joints so unstable that her toes, ankles, kneecaps, fingers, wrists, neck and shoulders can easily dislocate. Those with the disease are dangerously flexible.
Woinarosky sleeps in a rigid neck brace, but has to wake up every two hours to exercise her jawbone and limbs to prevent them from coming out of the socket. She exercises in t -

Deif and Neve: Why Canada should take in Snowden-linked asylum-seeker
It’s been 15 years since Ajith Debagama Kankanalamage fled Sri Lanka after a decade of torture and sexual abuse by the military. He thought he was headed to Canada, but he was abandoned by brokers without his passport or money in Hong Kong, where he filed for asylum and waited interminably for the unsympathetic bureaucracy to grind its wheels.
A decade into this limbo, he had an extraordinary encounter that gave him hope. In 2013, his lawyer introduced him to another of his clients, Edward -
Ottawa soccer club to drop $200,000 lawsuit against former coach
The twisting tale of how a $200,000 lawsuit against an Ottawa youth soccer coach — accused of poaching players from a rival soccer club — was dropped just weeks after it was filed has laid bare the internal politicking that occurs in the world of competitive teenage soccer.
Ottawa South United Soccer Association (OSU) — one of the largest soccer clubs in the city — launched a lawsuit on June 1 against Russell Shaw, a former coach with the organization.

Spencer: Confronting the etiquette of legal cannabis
October 17, as all of Canada now knows, will be epic. The prime minister has announced, with a patriotic flourish, that it’s the day cannabis will be legal. The day 95 years of pot prohibition will end. We may not have free trade on that day, but at least we can console ourselves with a joint.
By coincidence – the PM didn’t actually consult me on this – Oct. 17 is also my birthday. This has led friends to recommend that the two auspicious occasions be celebrated together. -
Pratt: Why it's time to rename University of Ottawa's Fauteux Hall
Joseph Honoré Gérald Fauteux was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada from 1970 to 1973. He was a founder of the University of Ottawa Law School, and its first dean from 1953 to 1962. He later became university Chancellor. Sufficient grounds to have the building that houses the law faculty named for him when it was built in 1973.
But by some Canadians, Fauteux is remembered for a very different reason.
Everett Klippert was born in Saskatchewan in 1926. His fa -

Nussbaum: Château addition must balance imitation and contrast
The Château Laurier may be a privately owned building, but for the more than 100 years it has graced our landscape, it has developed a very public identity as a beloved symbol of our city. We have seen that love expressed by thousands of residents who have offered comments on the various design iterations of a proposed addition to it.
While we know that no addition is ever going to please everyone, I also believe we have to listen to the wisdom of crowds. The public has said -
