Her latest creation – titled ‘Ottawology’ – delves into the sociology of Canada’s Capital and how it shifts during the colder months. The local author joins Andrew Pinsent on CFRA Weekends.

And in light of last year’s contested Venezuelan election, America’s top officials do not recognize Nicolas Maduro as the country’s legitimate leader, as economic and political issues persist. Salvador Herencia Carrasco, a UOttawa Law Professor, oversees the Human Rights Clinic at the Human Rights Research Centre. He joins Andrew Pinsent on CFRA Weekends.
