Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Tues. September 15th, 2026

View descriptionShare
 

As a new post-secondary semester kicks off, professors are facing a massive hurdle. How do you teach students to think for themselves, especially when A.I. can write their essays in a matter of seconds? According to one Ottawa-based professor, the solution is simple: Give technology a time-out. Let’s just forget about the screens and bring back the old-school paper. That’s why our first guest of Hour 2 is moving her classes to tech-free rooms this year. Kristy Cameron checks in with Shawna Dolanksy, a Professor of Humanities at Carleton University. Meantime, do you ever feel like your to-do list is mocking you? For instance, you meant to drop off that bag of donation clothes one month ago, and it’s just been chilling in the back of your SUV for no reason. In today’s edition of Self-Help Tuesday with psychotherapist Benslyne Avril, we delve into the psychology of procrastination. Plus, the company behind Canada’s high-speed rail project continues to study potential commute options between Toronto and Quebec City. Today, the Crown corporation confirms that it has acquired one property, but would not say where the land is located along the proposed corridor. CFRA’s Chris Holski has more on that.
