After a Nunavut MP became the latest floor-crosser to join the Carney Liberals, all the cameras are slowly turning to Canada’s NDP brass. That’s because the federal party is in the middle of a leadership search, with a long-awaited solution scheduled for next weekend. The Orange Crush have been without an official party leader since last year’s election defeat, which led to Jagmeet Singh's resignation and Don Davies' interim takeover. What challenges await the party’s next-in-line? Andrew Pinsent digs deeper with Matthew Dube, a former NDP MP that currently works as a strategist for Proof Strategies.

Across several decades, the Ottawa 67's have shared some memorable regular season battles with the Kingston Frontenacs. In 2014, the rebuilding barber poles were pushing for a playoff spot when Kingston forged a late-game comeback to stun them in overtime, a result that kept Ottawa on the couch once the real battles began. In the years between, both teams have experienced highs and lows, but failed to cross paths in the OHL Playoffs. That is, until this year. Technical producer Stephen Ellsworth previews an East Division playoff battle 45 years in the making.
