PODCAST: The Daily Review for Wed. August 13th, 2025

Did you hear the story about the OC Transpo bus that took a wrong turn at Bayshore Shopping Centre? Well, it somehow got wedged underneath a shopping mall sign, and it left a giant mess near the parking garage. On the plus side, nobody was hurt, mainly because no passengers were on board the bus when it happened. CTV’s Dave Charbonneau delivers the details. Later in Hour 4, CTV’s Katie Griffin explains how a brand-new landscaping project quickly turned into a horrific nightmare for one Kanata couple. And finally, we preview tonight’s CTV Ottawa supper-hour newscast with Jackie Perez and Stefan Keyes.

Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Wed. August 13th, 2025

Sante Quebec, the Crown corporation that oversees the province’s healthcare network, is planning to launch a pilot project next year. It would examine the possibility of doctors incorporating the use of A.I. into their day-to-day practices, moreso tackling the unnecessary mountain of paperwork that today’s physicians have to deal with. Plume A.I. – one of the approved platforms – would also assist in taking notes during patient-doctor appointments. And at the start of each appointment, doctors would have to explain this A.I. process to each patient, requiring patient consent before proceeding further. In Hour 3, Kristy Cameron filters through the potential cybersecurity concerns with Ann Cavoukian. She is a former 3-time Information and Privacy Commissioner here in Ontario. Afterwards, Kristy gathers your two cents, as she tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, if you are about to hop on an Air Canada flight over the next few days, we have some bad news to share with you. The bad news is you might not get on that plane. And if you do, then you might have to find a Plan B for your return trip home. That’s because the airline is in the process of shutting down incoming and returning flights, and possibly as soon as tomorrow. CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent delivers the latest developments, and explains what operations could look like once we get to Saturday.
