In a column published October 23, 2011 the Ottawa Citizen repeated allegations made against Dr. Ben Fong, a local dentist and the owner of Menu-Map and Source Networks Company. The Ottawa Citizen could not reach Dr. Fong prior to publication and the column does not represent a fair and accurate report. The Ottawa Citizen apologizes [...]
A story in Saturday’s Real Deal section suggested that a fun thing to do for Halloween is to write “poison” on a plastic jar or bottle and fill it with candy for the kids to eat. A picture that accompanied the story showed a skull and crossbones image similar to the symbol used to indicate [...]
A story on page I1 Saturday said the sister of interior designer Darlene Provost, Lynn Dunn (nee Provost), had died after battling cancer. That information was incorrect. Thanks, Doug! Report an error
A story and headline on page A4 of yesterday's Ottawa Citizen may have left the impression that Mary Elizabeth Harriman, the wife of Colonel Russell Williams, had knowledge of the criminal actions of her husband. The story did not intend to suggest she had any knowledge of his criminal actions and the Citizen retracts and [...]
A story in the June 8 Ottawa Sun incorrectly described Ottawa Senator Chris Neil as a bankrupt NHLer. In fact, Neil has never declared bankruptcy. TheSun regrets the error. Report an error
There were two errors in my column for Jan. 10 — the one that began by quoting Shakespeare: “First let’s kill all the lawyers.” Contrary to appearances, Nancy Pelosi was never a lawyer. And, the U.S. Senate majority leader, though a lawyer, is not “Bill” Reid. I keep confusing him with the famous shoe bomber, [...]
An article on page F3 yesterday misquoted Dr. Lara de Salaberry, who was commenting on the accumulated effects of stress and other health problems caused by the OC Transpo strike. The correct quote should have read: “Initially, I would have had to lie on an application for people to get Para Transpo.’ Dr. de Salaberry [...]
A banner outside one of Holitzner Homes’ model townhomes in Kanata advertising a $10,000 signing bonus has been in place for a year; it was not put up “before New Year’s.” The Holitzner sales office was closed between Dec. 23 and Jan. 1, which is why there were no visitors to the office over the [...]
An Editor’s Note: A story on page B1 of the April 5 edition of the Citizen, which looked at the future of NATO, should not have included quotes attributed to Clifford Gaddy, a Russia expert at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. Mr. Gaddy was not interviewed by the Citizen for that article, and the [...]
Ottawa Citizen columnist David Warren has had to backtrack on claims made in a couple of recent columns. From February 20: A retraction. In my Sunday column, I wrote in passing about the kind of Shariah practised in Iran, “where a little boy caught stealing gets an arm amputated under the wheel of a truck.” [...]
In an article on page A10 of the Jan. 30 edition of the Citizen, a number of inaccurate statements were made about Ottawa surgeon Dr. Joel Freeman. Dr. Freeman was never convicted of any offence over an alleged road rage incident in September 2004 and received an absolute discharge after pleading guilty to the charge [...]
Big, bad error in the Ottawa Citizen this week. Yesterday it ran a major story on the front of its City section stating that a man had been convicted for a fourth time of sexually assaulting a minor. At the center of the above-fold story was a picture of the accused. Well, a picture the [...]
