PODCAST: The Daily Review for Tues. May 19th, 2026

Without enough controllers, Ottawa's LRT service had to be temporarily shut down during the long weekend, a staffing issue that one union says is a 'chronic problem'. We have more on the latest light-rail fumble. Meantime, Ottawa Police are pleading with drivers to take a deep breath and just calm down. This comes after a raging driver, and a vehicle briefly going the wrong way, make fellow commuters very nervous. Plus, the ladies still have plenty of fighting spirit left in the tank, as two late goals keep the Ottawa Charge in the Walter Cup Finals. Another win at the CTC tomorrow night, and they force a Game 5 in La Belle Province on Saturday. Patricia Boal and the CTV Ottawa Team wrap up the day in news.
