It’s officially Summer in Ottawa! But if you’re driving anywhere in this city, you know your biggest delay will probably be caused by construction. Last month, we saw extensive lane closures on Highway 417 ahead of Pinecrest. It caused several delays, unexpected traffic jams, and problems for multiple wards. Should the municipality be doing more to communicate and coordinate road closures to minimize disruptions? College Ward councillor Laine Johnson joins guest host Chris Holski in Hour 2. Meantime, we’ve always been taught to stay strong. But what if the strongest thing you can do is to just let it all out? We check in for today’s edition of Self-Help Tuesday with Benslyne Avril, a psychotherapist who practices in Westboro.

PODCAST: The Daily Review for Tues. June 23rd, 2026

Brady Tkachuk has landed in South Florida, as the former captain of the Ottawa Senators was formally introduced to the Sunrise media earlier today. And yes, we caught some first glimpses of Brady in a Panthers jersey, which will feature No. 8 instead of the No. 7 he wore with the Sens. CTV’s Austin Lee joins us with that story in Hour 4. Then, we preview tonight’s CTV Ottawa supper-hour newscast with Jackie Perez and Stefan Keyes. Oh, and circling back to the Senators for a second. They just traded that 9th overall pick they got from Florida to San Jose. As part of the trade package, they get a left-winger to fill Brady's spot. The best part: He's Swedish.

Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Tues. June 23rd, 2026

In 2018, he was seen as the answer to Ottawa’s problems. Eight years later, Ottawa’s captain is moving on from Canada’s Capital, and will now play alongside his brother in South Florida. When Brady Tkachuk returns to the Canadian Tire Centre as Public Enemy No. 1, both for the first time and any other time, will you cheer or boo? Guest host Chris Holski has a candid conversation with Sens Army this afternoon, as we tackle today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, the latest numbers from Statistics Canada’s Consumer Price Data is looking bleak. Canada’s inflation rate climbed to 3.2 percent in May, marking its fastest pace in over 2 years. And, once again, food prices were a key contributor. In fact, this is the 16th consecutive month in which food has risen faster than inflation. We dig deeper with Stuart Smyth, the Industry Funded Research Chair in Agri-Food Innovation at the University of Saskatchewan.
