PODCAST: The Daily Review for Mon. March 2nd, 2026

No matter what corner of Canada’s Capital you live in, you have to get somewhere. It could be the dentist office. It could be the family doctor’s office. But more often than not, it’s your work office. And in 2026, there’s been a lot of complaining about Ottawa’s commute times. Do you have the toughest one? How long does it take you to get from Point A to Point B? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, Prime Minister Carney says that Canada will support the United States’ objective to destroy Iran’s nuclear program. At the same time, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand has ruled out any form of Canadian military participation. We dig deeper in Hour 3 with our Political Heat Panel.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Mon. March 2nd, 2026

The Canadian Pediatric Society is calling for today’s children to receive cholesterol checks at an earlier age. To be more specific, the latest recommendation suggests screening for all children between the ages of 2 and 10, with the hopes of addressing potential heart risks in their early stages. Kristy Cameron chats with Dr. Michael Khoury, the lead author behind this statement, in Hour 2. He is also a pediatric cardiologist who specializes in preventative cardiology at Stollery Children’s Hospital. Meantime, after the United States and Israel teamed up to take down Iran’s Supreme Leader, the conflict has expanded even further today after the Islamic Republic bit back. Retired Major-General Denis Thompson examines what could happen next. Plus, we follow up on our transit chatter from Hour 1, as we try to find the worst commute in Canada’s Capital. The bigger question at hand: How do we solve these lingering commute problems? We chat with Kyle Humphrey and David Humphries, who are both Para Transpo riders and community advocates for better accessibility.
