Age 65 has been the longstanding expectation for Baby Boomers to retire from the workforce. At least, it’s the age that these workers are aiming for. For today’s younger Canadians, that retirement target seems like an outdated concept. According to a new Leger poll that was commissioned by Wealthsimple, 74 percent of Canadians between the ages of 24 and 44 say the conventional age just doesn’t align with their goals. Nancy Worth, a Millennial culture expert, joins the show in Hour 4. Plus, we deliver the latest breaking news, right here on CFRA’s Ottawa Now.

A handful of Ontario highways will be upping their speed limits later this Summer. Well, it was the Ford government who signed that letter, not the highways themselves. And one of the highways that will be included in this plan is Highway 416. Another is Highway 401, a well-travelled stretch of road for anyone who wants to access the GTA. Is this the right path forward? Kristy Cameron tackles today’s Question of the Day. Plus, Ottawa’s largest school board is launching an elementary program review, all part of a widespread debriefing of its programs. They are doing this to determine whether the current program structure fits the present-day needs of the community, as well as the student’s aspirations. How could this impact French Immersion courses? We chat with Pino Buffone, the OCDSB’s Director of Education.

Ottawa Senators President Cyril Leeder says LeBreton Flats remains the only site for the hockey team’s future home. At least, it’s the only location that the NHL franchise is seriously considering today. At the same time, he maintains that nothing is definitive, and shortcomings are still present in their existing deals with the NCC. Postmedia’s Bruce Garrioch delivers an in-depth update on where things stand in Hour 2. Meantime, in order for most Ontarians to own a home in 2024, they will probably need to pick up a second job. We dig deeper with Nick Palucci, a Senior Director with RBC’s Home Equity Finance Acquisition and Distribution. Plus, the U.S. Senate has officially passed its social media legislation, which would force TikTok’s parent company to sell their stuff or face a ban. All it needs is a signature from U.S. President Joe Biden.
