Parishioners at a Downtown Ottawa church say they were issued wrongful parking tickets during worshipping hours. Four cars parked on Nepean Street beside St. Patrick Basilica received parking tickets on Monday, contradicting city signs that permitted free parking during Morning and Midday masses on weekdays. Fortunately, those tickets have since been scrapped, but this is not a first occurrence and it might not be the last. CTV’s Dylan Dyson joins guest host Chris Holski in Hour 4. Then, we preview tonight’s CTV Ottawa supper-hour newscast with Jackie Perez. And if news breaks in real time, you’ll hear it live on CFRA’s Ottawa Now.

PODCAST: The Daily Review for Thurs. August 27th, 2026

Should the name of Ottawa’s Trump Avenue be changed? If so, to what? Guest host Chris Holski sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, Canada needs to be doing more to attract some of America’s top minds. And as the United States wages economic warfare on us, perhaps one of the best ways we can fight back is by taking part of the American economy that the White House is already turning its back on. That prized amount of real estate is knowledge – it innovates and it creates opportunities. Today, the feds announced that 64 top researchers, including many who are leaving America behind, are coming to Canadian universities. Professor Jennifer Spence is one of them, departing Harvard University to be the Eddie Goldenberg Research Chair of Canada in Arctic Governance and Community Resilience. She joins the show in Hour 3. Plus, as we start to prepare for the Fall winds, the time to plant your late-season veggies is probably now. We check in with gardening expert Carson Arthur. And finally, someone is trying to resurrect the old Twitterverse, but Holski doesn’t want any part of it.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. August 27th, 2026

A new report suggests that the fearsome and powerful Canada Day storms, which hit parts of Ontario and Quebec, caused a total of $439 million in insured damages. Guest host Chris Holski digs deeper with Maximilien Roy, the Vice-President of Strategy at the Insurance Bureau of Canada. Meantime, Ottawa and Gatineau have signed an economic agreement as today’s tariff uncertainty grows. What should, or what can, the City of Ottawa do to brace for what comes next? How can we hit back? We open the debate floor to our Reality Check panelists in Hour 2.
