Russia is once again accelerating its war of terror against Ukraine. Over the past few weeks, they’ve been ramping up drone and missile attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure, ranging from apartment buildings to schools and hospitals. In the process, they are also getting on the bad side of U.S. President Donald Trump, who had publicly undressed Ukraine’s President a few months ago. Geoffrey Johnston, an International Affairs columnist with the Kingston Whig-Standard, joins Andrew Pinsent on CFRA Live.

After reaching the CFL Playoffs last Fall, the 2025 campaign has been a borderline nightmare for the Ottawa Redblacks, who have dropped 6 of their first 7 games. While half of those losses have been one-score results, that is little consolation for a team who is 0-3 on Home soil and 0-4 against divisional foes. And as the troops exit their BYE week with almost zero room for error, nothing changes on the sidelines, as GM Shawn Burke continues to voice his unwavering support for head coach Bob Dyce. CFRA Live technical producer Stephen Ellsworth highlights a make-or-break moment for this year's squad.
