What are 'additional residential units', you may ask? They can range from lofts to granny-flats. They can be in-law apartments or nanny suites. Heck, they can also be tiny homes. Would you want to set up shop and live inside one of these units? We open the debate floor in Hour 1. Meantime, Ottawa’s transit service is hoping for better ridership numbers in 2024. So far, OC Transpo is searching high-and-low, but just can’t find them.

Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Fri. April 12th, 2024

The Ottawa Senators and the NCC have reached an agreement in principle; an arena at LeBreton Flats is looking more likely. CFRA's Chris Holski joins Kristy to go over the announcement. Now, when it comes to build such big projects, money is almost always an issue. Our Question of The Day: 'Should this (the new Sens arena) be funded by the taxpayer? Sports economist Moshe Lander says any money given to build these arenas is akin to 'flushing your tax dollars down the toilet'. 

Are bike lanes a source of congestion? The province is looking at restricting the addition of bike lanes where lanes of vehicular traffic would be removed. Why? The director of the Infrastructure Institute  Matti Siemiatycki believes this proposed legislation is ill-advised. 

Mr. Hollywood Matt Demers reviews 'Transformers One', 'The Substance', and 'Never Let Go'. Plus, Chris Holski drops by to discuss the grand opening (somewhat) of Maplewood Secondary School. 

Political science professor Nelson Wiseman wasn't surprised about how the week's gone down, post-dissolution of the Liberals-NDP Confidence Agreement. 

CFRA host Andrew Pinsent has an update on the federal government's firearm buyback program, the ballooning cost ($67M), and the amount of guns collected (nada).

And, CTV's Matt Skube joins Kristy to chat about child names and the trouble some (of the more creative ones) - have gotten them in.
