PODCAST: The Daily Review for Tues. May 19th, 2026

Without enough controllers, Ottawa's LRT service had to be temporarily shut down during the long weekend, a staffing issue that one union says is a 'chronic problem'. We have more on the latest light-rail fumble. Meantime, Ottawa Police are pleading with drivers to take a deep breath and just calm down. This comes after a raging driver, and a vehicle briefly going the wrong way, make fellow commuters very nervous. Plus, the ladies still have plenty of fighting spirit left in the tank, as two late goals keep the Ottawa Charge in the Walter Cup Finals. Another win at the CTC tomorrow night, and they force a Game 5 in La Belle Province on Saturday. Patricia Boal and the CTV Ottawa Team wrap up the day in news.

PODCAST: CTV Ottawa News at Six for Tues. May 19th, 2026

America’s Under-Secretary of Defense says the United States will be pausing a longstanding Military Board with Canada, claiming that its biggest North American neighbour is ‘failing’ to make credible progress on its defense commitments. Retired Major-General David Fraser joins guest host Andrew Pinsent in Hour 3. Meantime, seasonal temperatures will be returning to Canada’s Capital in the coming days, and just in time for Ottawa Race Weekend. However, the sweatbox has been booked for one more day, as Tuesday’s heatwave persists into Wednesday. We check in with Doug Gillham, a meteorologist with The Weather Network. But first, it’s time to tackle today’s Question of the Day. What should Ontario do with its stockpile of American alcohol? The longer we keep it, the longer it might cost the taxpayers. Text into the show and let us know.
