The Ottawa Senators are in conversation with the federal and provincial governments in regards to a brand-new Downtown arena. The team has hired a lobbyist group to talk to both levels of government, but it appears that municipal dollars are off the table.

And the primary talking point, to nobody’s surprise, surrounds more time at workstations for Canada’s public servants. However, the unions are furious that this information was publicly revealed during a Mayor’s Breakfast. Should the government force public servants back to the office on a full-time basis? Should the mandate be tailored to each individual job, as opposed to a blanket mandate? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and...
