At the time, the premier said the plane was sold back for the exact same price, promising to publicly release financial documentation on the transactions.

The documents released late Wednesday afternoon show the province incurred nearly $200,000 before taxes in aviation-related costs outside of the purchase and sale.

These include expenses of nearly $140,000 in aircraft management services such as maintenance, storage and servicing, as well as nearly $34,000 in outside legal counsel.

Ottawa motorists may want to fill up the gas tank today, with prices expected to soar above $1.90 a litre on Wednesday.

Canadians for Affordable Energy president Dan McTeague says gas prices will increase seven cents a litre in Ottawa on Wednesday to 196.9 cents a litre.

The average price of gasoline is sitting at 189.9 cents a litre on Tuesday.

Gas prices jumped 12 cents a litre last week in Ottawa and across Ontario.

Gas has jumped approximately $0.60 a litre in Ottawa since late February due to the war in the Middle East. On April 20, the federal government suspended the fuel excise tax on gasoline for the summer, dropping as prices 11 cents a litre.

tl;dr 20-40 millimetres total forecast for capital

Late Monday morning, an area including Ottawa, Pembroke, Hawkesbury and Kaladar was upgraded to a rainfall warning with a ceiling of 40 millimetres. That warning ended west of Ottawa early that afternoon and in Ottawa later in the afternoon.

Western Quebec has a special weather statement about 20 to 40 millimetres of rain. An area spanning from Brockville to Cornwall has a statement about 20 to 30 millimetres.

The Deep River and Algonquin Park were under a rainfall warning calling for a total of 25 to 50 millimetres of rain Sunday and Monday. That ended around midday.

Local authorities are not forecasting anything worse than nuisance spring flooding in low-lying areas. There are flood watches in the Tay Valley and Rideau Lakes areas, Quinte Conservation's inland waterways and the Ottawa River between Pembroke and Arnprior.

Ottawa’s Ontario Provincial Police are reminding eastern Ontario residents to properly dispose of their cigarettes after a cigarette caused a small grass fire on Highway 416 on Saturday.

According to a statement on the social media site X, police officers and Ottawa firefighters responded to a small wildland fire on the highway near Roger Stevens Drive in southern end of Ottawa.

“A reminder from the OttawaOPP that even in spring time, flicking a cigarette out your car window can start a fire,” police wrote. 

Police say traffic in the area is unaffected.

Plex has notified some of its users on Thursday to urgently update their media servers due to a recently patched security vulnerability.

The company has yet to assign a CVE-ID to track the flaw and didn't provide additional details regarding the patch, only saying that it impacts Plex Media Server versions 1.41.7.x to 1.42.0.x.

It was created in the 1960s by designer Jim Donoahue and adopted by the federal government in 1982 as its “official symbol of government.”

In one afternoon, according to Thomson, Donoahue designed what is now known as the Canada wordmark. He used Baskerville typeface, which he was fond of, and he thickened it as it was light and delicate and could fade in smaller reproductions. The “D” in “Canada” rose like a flagpole, so it was a perfect place for the flag to “fly off,” said his daughter Zoe Donoahue in an interview, echoing her father’s words.

[…] Donoahue did not receive a cent initially for the work he had done on the wordmark, as it was a byproduct of the advertisement project that had been commissioned, said Thomson. Thomson said the federal government later sent Donoahue a “nice letter” and a cheque for $1 to “formalize ownership.”

“I’m sure that it’s worth a lot more than that, but it was just the way the process happened,” Thomson added. The Treasury Board Secretariat couldn’t confirm that the federal government had issued Donoahue a $1 cheque, nor the exact year when the wordmark was created.

But Donoahue’s daughter, Zoe, recalled her father talking about it. She said he was never bothered by receiving a $1 cheque, and that he even “got a kick out of that. He laughed about it for sure.” She described her father as someone who loved the process and puzzle of design into his 80s and she said the wordmark was one of his greatest prides.

While western Canada starts/continues to burn over the summer this is a pretty good site that animates the smoke patterns of wildfires.

Starting June 2025, the City will start to manage and adjudicate parking ticket infractions through its Administrative Penalty System (APS), transitioning from the existing Provincial Offensive Act (POA) courts. The City’s new APS program will next extend to red light camera and automated speed enforcement infractions.
