Ottawa Now - Ready or not, here comes a new landfill

Advancements in North American headlight technology over the last decade or so have undoubtedly made the roads safer for drivers. The trade-off, unfortunately, is that many drivers on the receiving end of increasingly bright low-beam lamps have never felt less safe.
That’s “100 per cent” how Orr feels when he encounters...
