PODCAST: The Daily Review for Mon. August 10th, 2026

You may have noticed more Special Constables all across Ottawa’s transit system today. They are walking the platforms, talking with passengers, and monitoring for drug use – all part of OC Transpo’s plan to boost safety. CTV’s Leah Larocque went out on a patrol with them today. She tells us how the trip went in Hour 4. Then, we preview tonight’s CTV Ottawa supper-hour newscast with Jackie Perez and Stefan Keyes. And if news breaks in real time, you’ll hear it live on CFRA’s Ottawa Now.

Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Mon. August 10th, 2026

We are approaching the middle of August, and that means farmers markets are peddling their harvests in full force. Based on what we’ve been hearing so far, a lot of people are buying directly from Ottawa’s farmers. However, amid trade war tensions with our American counterparts, the supply chains are becoming less reliable. How much Ontario produce are you buying these days? Guest host Chris Holski sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, we are just over one week away from Trump’s tariff deadline, and there’s a potential concession to the U.S. when it comes to alcohol sales. Does that resolution mean anything after Quebec’s Premier said it is Quebec’s call to make as to what gets taken down or stocked up? And at a time where the feds need all hands on deck, should Prime Minister Carney be on reduced hours this week? We dig deeper in Hour 3 with our Political Heat Panel.
