PODCAST: The Daily Review for Tues. January 20th, 2026

During the COVID-19 pandemic, hundreds of workers were hired by the federal government to work remotely. And now, they are expected to report to Ottawa-based workstations. Is it fair to relocate employees after working remotely for several years, especially if they don’t even live within driving distance of Canada’s Capital? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, Ottawa is turning 200 years old, and plans are already underway for this year’s massive party. The municipality says it will be distributing another $600,000 through artist and civic events funding programs. Joining us in Hour 3 is Ottawa Bluesfest executive director Mark Monahan and Ottawa Tourism vice-president of destination development Catherine Callary.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Tues. January 20th, 2026

Family and friends of Tysen Lefebvre, a beacon of light who helped raise $1 million for Make-A-Wish Canada, will be gathering as one to honour his legacy. Tysen’s celebration of life is being held tonight at the Canadian Tire Centre, while the Sens visit Columbus. Linda Lefebvre, Tysen’s mom, joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 2. Meantime, the subject of free transit has long been mulled over in Canada’s Capital. And now, a dedicated group of volunteers want to make that vision a reality, starting with non-peak hours. Nick Grover, an executive member of Free Transit Ottawa, pays us a visit. They have been around since 2017. Plus, a new study says that more than half of Canadian shoppers are open to A.I. completing customer purchases. CFRA’s Chris Holski has more on that.
