On 2025-01-16, a ceasefire and hostage-exchange deal is agreed between Israel and Hamas — a truce that Defense Department officials believe signals a possible end to 15 months of conflict in the region. The ceasfire talk was held in Doha (Qatar) two days earlier.

The deal should take effect Sunday. Israeli forces would withdraw to the Gaza border, allowing displaced Palestinians to return to their homes and for the transfer of hostages and prisoners. A large amounts of humanitarian aid will be needed and hospitals would need to be rebuilt, besides the whole country.

It was a big shock and disappointment - Not Again!
Ottawa was the host for 2025 World Junior Hockey Championship. Unfortunately Canada was eliminated in the quarterfinal round. A big blow to Canadian fans since Canada is a hockey nation. On top of that Canada was eliminated by the very same team last year, Czechia. Following the devastating loss, the junior hockey development program is under scrutiny.

Just so happened that she was rubbing her eyes when she passed by the CTV building. Pure chance.

Chateau Laurier, Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA
Second of two photos I captured of this wonderful family walking out of Chateau Laurier on New Year's Eve Day. They were in a hurry to the restaurant, Metropolitain, across the street.

This one was captured after the mother took a photo of her husband and their daughter.
