On Wednesday, April 29, the Ottawa Citizen highlights three major stories: a sold-out show by Quebec rock sensation Angine de Poitrine in Gatineau, NATO's potential interest in Canadian aircraft, and arrest warrants issued in a Perth homicide.
Angine de Poitrine Electrifies Gatineau Crowd
Quebec rock band Angine de Poitrine performed a sold-out concert at Bar Minotaure in Gatineau on April 26, drawing an overflow crowd of 200. The intimate show has heightened anticipation for their upcoming Bluesfest performance in Ottawa this summer.
NATO Eyes Canadian Aircraft for New Fleet
NATO is reportedly considering the Swedish-Canadian GlobalEye early warning aircraft to replace its aging fleet of Boeing E-3A Sentry airborne warning and control system planes. The GlobalEye, manufactured by Saab, offers advanced surveillance capabilities.
Arrest Warrants Issued in Perth Homicide
Arrest warrants have been issued for two Ottawa men in connection with the death of Christo Allison Richards, 34, who was found with life-threatening injuries in Last Duel Park on April 12 and later pronounced dead in hospital. The OPP Lanark detachment believes the incident was targeted with no broader threat to the public.
Additionally, Nepean is set to host Canada's largest pinball arcade, and Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk has addressed questions about his future with the team, calling them 'frustrating.'
