CFRA Weekends - U.N. peacekeepers targeted during Lebanon deployment

Over the past 28 OHL seasons, excluding the cancelled 2021 campaign, only two teams have gone from a non-playoff team to a 100-point team in just one year. Within that same window, only two teams have gone from a non-playoff team to recording a Top 3 Offense and a Top 3 Defense the very next season. One of those teams is this year’s Ottawa 67’s. And while their journey to the Memorial Cup ceased in Round 2, the barber poles have captured everyone’s attention ahead of next season. In this special online-only edition of CFRA Weekends, technical producer Stephen Ellsworth checks in with Kenny Walls, the play-by-play voice of the 67’s.

CFRA Weekends - The day that Ottawa and Hull went up in flames

This November, the Ontario Liberals will be selecting a new party leader. Ottawa South MPP John Fraser took hold of the steering wheel after Bonnie Crombie submitted her resignation last year, and he will remain in the driver's seat until then. Even without a permanent fixture in charge, the Red Team is neck-and-neck with Doug Ford's Ontario PC Party, according to recent popularity polling from Liaison Strategies and Abacus Data. Is the Premier of Ontario in dangerous trouble? Andrew Pinsent digs deeper with David Valentin, a Principal at Liaison Strategies, on CFRA Weekends. They are a national public opinion research firm.
