London Drugs, a well-known Canadian retailer, says cyber-criminals who stole files from its corporate head office in April have hit the ‘Send’ button.

Ritesh Kotak, a cybersecurity analyst, joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 4. Plus, a Wheel of Fortune contestant really swung for the fences during one of his guesses. And boy, did he miss the fastball.

Your favourite beer and wine products will soon be coming to a cornerstore near you, and faster than you think. The first part has been a pretty vocal promise for a while now. However, the final stages of this plan are being sped up, as liquor will be on the shelves by September. Is this process far too rushed? And if you are looking for alcohol, are you sticking with the beer store instead of this new alternative? Kristy Cameron tackles today’s Question of the Day. Plus, Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend is just days away from kicking off, and Ottawa’s Mayor will be participating! With 50 years of history now on display, there is plenty to see and do at this year’s festivities. Executive Director Mike Vieira drops by the Ottawa Now studios with a quick preview.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Fri. May 24th, 2024

The owners of Loblaws and Sobeys are under investigation by Canada’s Competition Bureau. These in-depth investigations were launched in early-March, as requests to look into anti-competitive conduct began to pile up. Specifically, these findings point to the possibility that these grocery giants were using property controls to limit competition. Not surprisingly, Sobeys has since pushed back against these allegations. We dig deeper with Michael Osborne, the Chair of the Canadian Competition Practice and a member of Toronto-based law firm Cozen O’Connor. On a lighter note, we are heading into the final weekend of May, which is the best time of year for marathon runners to come out and play. But if you would rather sit back and watch a movie, Matt Demers has got you covered with his Weekly Flick Picks!
