It’s been exactly 2 months since the Canada Day downpour tore through several neighbourhoods, and perhaps no case is more alarming than an apartment building in Lincoln Heights. Most residents have since moved back into 30 McEwen Avenue, but many say they are still struggling without the essential amenities. CTV’s Dylan Dyson joins Kristy Cameron with the latest in Hour 4. Then, we preview tonight’s CTV Ottawa supper-hour newscast with Jackie Perez and Kimberley Fowler. And if news breaks in real time, you’ll hear it live on CFRA’s Ottawa Now.

PODCAST: The Daily Review for Tues. September 1st, 2026

The Ford government has opened student and family support offices across Ontario – services that were already installed at five provincially-run school boards. But now, all 72 school boards across the province will have them. We check in with René Jansen in de Wal, who is the President of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association. Then, we turn things over to the mighty CFRA Nation, as we tackle today’s Question of the Day. Have you been successful in getting answers from your principal, or perhaps your local trustee? And if you’re not a parent, who do you trust to run the school system? That’s coming up in Hour 3. Plus, if Canada was defeated and occupied by another country, would you give in or would you fight back? We dig deeper with Thomas Homer-Dixon – an author, social scientist, and Executive Director of the Cascade Institute. He wrote a fascinating piece in The Globe And Mail about the durability and resilience of Canadian patriotism, and the lengths to which Canadians are willing to go.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Tues. September 1st, 2026

OC Transpo rolled out its Fall Schedule this past weekend, with new Express routes and schedule adjustments designed to keep commuters moving. Just don’t ask the O-Train commuters how Monday went. Now, the City of Ottawa and OC Transpo are anticipating an additional 65,000 trips into Downtown Ottawa every week, as federal public servants spend more time in the office and post-secondary students begin their Fall Semester. Service on the train tracks is more frequent, even during off-peak hours. But we have been warned that September could be a ‘month out of hell’. Is our system up for the job? Kristy Cameron chats with Brooke Anderson, the Founder and President of Carleton Transit Riders. It’s a student advocacy group, and part of the Ottawa Transit Riders umbrella. Then, we bring in Westboro-based psychotherapist Benslyne Avril for this week’s edition of Self-Help Tuesday. As the students head back to the classroom, today’s chatter is all about helping your kids cope during a transitional season. Plus, as Canadian provinces keep American booze off the shelves, we find out how U.S. distillers have been faring.
