Rideau-Jock councillor David Brown finds it frustrating that buses from Russell, Carleton Place, and Smiths Falls pass right through Rural Ottawa without ever making a stop. He calls that a missed opportunity, and he is calling on City Hall to change that. Is it a fair point, or is it unrealistic given the current transit situation? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Later in Hour 3, we shift gears to a CTV News exclusive, which highlights the dangers of Lithium-Ion batteries in a devastating way. CTV’s Katie Griffin pays us a visit and delivers the details. Then, we check in with Nick DeFazio from Ottawa Fire Services.

PODCAST: The Daily Review for Mon. April 6th, 2026

From hot to cold, from rain to snow, and freezing temperatures in the dead of night. Maybe it’s just Kristy talking, but this Spring has been really weird. In fact, on Tuesday, we are getting a little bit of the white stuff. And while most of us are ready to tell Jack Frost to take a hike, these weather conditions are welcomed news for maple syrup farmers. In Hour 4, we check in with Scott Duego, a Maple Syrup Producer at the family-run Fulton’s Maple Sugar Bush. It’s one of the best-kept secrets at the Pakenham-based sugar camp. Meantime, support continues to grow for the Ottawa Charge, as the team set a brand-new attendance record during Friday’s CTC game against Montreal. And now, the President of the Ottawa Senators is suggesting that the Charge could play even more games in Kanata. We preview tonight’s CTV Ottawa supper-hour newscast with Jackie Perez and Austin Lee. And if news breaks in real time, you’ll hear it live on CFRA’s Ottawa Now.

Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Mon. April 6th, 2026

With the Carney government’s RTO mandates looming overhead, one Eastern Ontario Mayor is calling on the feds to install regional offices to minimize commute times for public servants. Casselman Mayor Genevieve Lajoie fears, if things don’t change, communities like hers will suffer significant consequences. Should the federal government accommodate this request? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Shifting gears to outer space, the Artemis II mission has broken the distance record that was set by Apollo 13! And now, the NASA space crew is carrying out a record-breaking lunar flyby. We delve into the significance of Monday’s accomplishments with Dr. Gordon Osinski, a Professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Western Ontario. He is also on the Science Team for the next Lunar Surface Mission. Plus, it’s a Monday afternoon, which means it’s time to talk politics with our Political Heat Panel.
