All week long, we are delving into the most reliable and the least reliable bus routes in Canada’s Capital. Today, it’s the latter, and Route 6 is Tuesday’s unlucky victim. CTV’s Leah Larocque pays us a visit in Hour 4. Then, we preview tonight’s CTV Ottawa supper-hour newscast with Jackie Perez and Austin Lee. And if news breaks in real time, you’ll hear it live on CFRA’s Ottawa Now.

PODCAST: The Daily Review for Tues. March 3rd, 2026

This coming Sunday, British Columbia will be springing forward for the final time, meaning their clocks won’t be giving an inch once we reach November. They have officially put their foot down. They are done with Daylight Savings Time. Here in Canada’s Capital, there have been attempts to cut the cord, but Ontario says they won’t do it unless New York and Quebec follow suit. Is it time we finally join the party? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Staying in B.C. for a second, the province’s Chief Coroner has announced an inquest into the Tumbler Ridge tragedy. CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent delivers the details. Plus, the owner of a Downtown Ottawa parking garage expects to begin restructuring work very soon, with the hopes of reopening the lot in the ‘near future’. This comes just over a year after the structure partially collapsed. Somerset councillor Ariel Troster pays us a visit in Hour 3.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Tues. March 3rd, 2026

For a second straight year, the Algonquin College Board of Governors has approved a significant series of programming cuts. This time, 30 programs have been halted. Monday’s judgement day comes as the Ottawa-based post-secondary institution continues to grapple with funding shortfalls and a decline in International enrollment. The vote was originally scheduled for last Monday, but was abruptly delayed after the Ontario government lifted the tuition freeze and announced new funding measures. Last hour, we chatted with Aarushi Aarushi, a student with Algonquin’s Horticulture Project that is understandably frustrated by the decision. In Hour 2, Kristy Cameron picks up the conversation with Judy Puritt, the first Vice-President of OPSEU Local 415. They represent roughly 900 of Algonquin’s faculty members. Meantime, could Artificial Intelligence help reduce the number of E.R. mental health visits? Researchers at CHEO are looking into it. We dig deeper with Dr. Kathleen Pajer, the Director of the CHEO Research Institute’s Precision Child and Youth Mental Health Collaboratory. Plus, how crappy is your daily commute? We continue Monday’s transit talk with Jo Guertin, an OC Transpo bus rider who is also a public servant.
