Ottawa’s Mayor says he’ll have more information on the rollout of provincial flood support over the coming days, as recovery from Canada Day’s record rainfall continues. Mark Sutcliffe says he spoke to Premier Doug Ford on Friday about the Disaster Recovery Assistance for Ontarians Program, and has since spoken with several Ontario Ministers about the subject.

Is Artificial Intelligence a helpful tool that gets humanity to the next level, or is it a countdown to extinction for your line of work?

Like a noticeable chunk of Ottawa’s homeowners, Kristy Cameron returned from vacation to a rude awakening, as Canada’s Capital continues to clean up Mother Nature’s mess.
