  1. Hanwha’s submarine ads flood Ottawa
  • Ottawa has seen a wave of ads — billboards, city buses and airport displays — from South Korea’s Hanwha Ocean promoting its KSS-III submarine. The ads have drawn local curiosity for selling 300-foot submersibles, not sandwiches.
  • Context: The federal government’s multi-billion-dollar submarine procurement was narrowed this fall to two finalists: Hanwha Ocean and Germany’s ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems. The campaign appears aimed at public outreach as Hanwha seeks the contract.
  1. Procurement details & local reaction
  • Key numbers: submarines roughly 300 feet; procurement value described as multi‑billion dollars. Ads are intended to build awareness among Ottawa residents and travellers and potentially influence public sentiment during the procurement.
  1. Raptors’ Gradey Dick looking to improve
  • Gradey Dick had 15 points (3 three-pointers) and 7 rebounds in Toronto’s 121-117 overtime loss to the LA Clippers. He had 21 points and 11 rebounds (first career double-double) in a 115-101 win vs Indiana three days earlier.
  • Dick says he’s focusing on work and defense rather than outside noise as he develops in his third NBA season.
