  08-12-2018 22:21 via ottawacitizen.com
  Nine people were arrested on Parliament Hill on Saturday morning as protesters and counter-protesters clashed over plans by the federal government to endorse the United Nations’ Global Compact for migration.
  Of the nine, eight were released without charges, but were issued trespass notices, meaning they are banned from Parliament Hill for 90 days. The lone person transferred to Ottawa Police Service by Parliamentary Protective Services was charged with assaulting a police officer.

  08-12-2018 15:41 via ottawacitizen.com
  Toddy Kehoe is 100 years old — living through all that dying, for a very, very long time.
  Her parents are gone, of course, and her three brothers (one in infancy), and a daughter — her first-born — and her husband, Ray, “a beautiful man” who died of a heart attack in 1977, leaving her a widow with five children. Her lifelong friend Kay Marshall has passed. Her political pal Marion Dewar is gone, too. The entire litany is much longer.

• Today's letters: Say yes to private pot shops, Ottawa

  08-12-2018 12:30 via ottawacitizen.com
  Private pot shops are inevitable in Ottawa
  Re: City council should allow private pot shops to operate in the capital, staff recommend, Dec. 5
  I am surprised that there are people who do not want Ottawa to permit pot shops to operate here. Pot has been available, albeit illegally, for decades, and without legal pot shops to distribute this now-legal product, it will continue to be available. We tried banning sales for about 90 years, and it didn’t work.

• Richardson: Imagine we still had John Lennon to guide us

  08-12-2018 12:30 via ottawacitizen.com
  On Dec. 9, 1980, my mother was driving me to school along St. Paul’s Street in downtown St. Catharines when I noticed a hand-written sign taped to the door of a rundown second-hand record store. It said simply: JOHN LENNON IS DEAD.
  It can be difficult to remember a time when it was possible to become aware of a major news story via a hastily posted sheet of paper. But I knew instinctively that it was true.

  Judging from the enthusiasm of thousands who responded to the city’s recent public consultation, Ottawans are eager for storefront cannabis shops. A more rigorous survey, however, found people split on the question of allowing pot shops.
  Still, Ottawa should permit these stores, which will be legal in the province next April.
  In just a few days, city council will vote on this question, and there are understandable concerns about where legal cannabis can be sold. The Ontario government has

• A century ago, the Spanish Lady came to Ottawa, claiming more than 500 lives

  08-12-2018 11:30 via ottawacitizen.com
  In October 1918 alone, the deadliest month of the Spanish flu pandemic, 440 Ottawans perished, either from the disease itself or from associated complications such as pneumonia or pleurisy.
  To put that in context, were a similar outbreak with the same mortality rate to occur in Ottawa today, 150 residents would die each day for a month.
  Worldwide, the Spanish flu claimed between 20 and 40 million lives — more recent estimates put the number as high as 100 million. In Canada, upwards of 55,
