Buyers have been allegedly scammed out of millions of dollars, a result of the so-called ‘Boneheads’ NFT scandal. The sale appeared legitimate and all buyers had received ‘a valuable art piece’, but nearly $1 million in assets remain frozen. And now, one man has traced it all back to a flashy couple near Belleville. Ottawa-based lawyer Sohaib Habib joins Andrew Pinsent on CFRA Live.

Sweeping changes are coming to Ontario’s school boards, as addressed by the province’s Education Minister earlier today. Paul Calandra says the endgame of the brand-new act is to put student achievement above all else – ranging from standardized mandatory exams for high-school students, to grading the participation and attendance records of students. But what does this mean for the long-term future of school board trustees? And when it comes to Ottawa's largest school board, did today’s announcement tell us anything as to how they fit into this complex equation? OCDSB Trustee Lyra Evans is among a crowd of trustees that have been in limbo for nearly a full year, as the province has taken over the school board and indefinitely suspended email access for all trustees. And as the new era begins, Evans wouldn't be surprised if the present-day roster sees significant departures once October's municipal election rolls around. That likely includes Evans specifically, who intends to run for a spot on Ottawa City Council.

A feasibility study is examining the possibility of bringing a bike-sharing system back to Canada’s Capital. It suggests that a public system could work in the National Capital Region, but City Staff is warning residents and councillors that it could cost up to $10 million to launch. Several bike-share programs have previously operated in Ottawa – including the Capital Bixi Bike Program and operations such as Right Bike. The last bike-share program ceased operations in 2018, eventually leading to new appeals from Capital Ward councillor Shawn Menard to explore a potential revival. He joins Kristy Cameron on Ottawa Now.
