PODCAST: The Daily Review for Mon. August 31st, 2026

For the past 18 months, Canada and the United States have been locked in a trade war. That stalemate has reached new levels in recent weeks – and we might have a map war on our hands as well. Last Thursday, U.S. President Trump signed an executive order, changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America. Days later, Ontario’s Premier clapped back in Grimsby, unveiling a Lake Ontario sign on the Canadian shoreline. On Google Maps, which is an American-based company, the Great Lake is now labeled Lake America. It sounds like Apple Maps could follow suit. And on a variety of Canadian websites that display maps, that Trumpian change is on full display. But not on MapQuest! General Manager Doug Berger explains why in Hour 3. Then, we tackle the political side of this debate with our Political Heat Panel.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Mon. August 31st, 2026

Today marks International Overdose Day – a day to raise awareness about overdose deaths, to highlight that they are preventable, and to reduce the stigma of drug-related deaths. It’s a day that especially hits close to home for the friends and family of loved ones who were taken by drugs. Last year, right here in Ottawa, 74 people lost their lives due to opioid toxicity. Kristy Cameron checks in with Rob Boyd, the CEO of Ottawa Inner City Health, in Hour 2. Meantime, a dramatic scene unfolded at the Fallowfield Train Station on Sunday afternoon, as a car-train collision triggered a massive response from local paramedics. Firefighters rescued the driver of the car, who was trapped inside the mangled vehicle and was pushed dozens of feet into a bush. She was then taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries and remains in stable condition. Dr. Lesley Spencer, who used to work as an E.R. doctor in Smiths Falls, was waiting at the train station for her husband to arrive. She recounts what she saw on Sunday. Then, we pick the brain of Daljit Nirman, an Ottawa lawyer who is rekindling a stance he took in 2013. After an OC Transpo bus collided with a train that year – an event that turned into one of our city’s biggest tragedies – Nirman started a petition for an overpass or underpass to go over the Fallowfield train tracks. Is it time to put that plan into action?
