The building that once housed Yangtze Restaurant in Ottawa’s Chinatown neighbourhood remains empty, as the property owner continues to search high and low for a new tenant. Yangtze permanently shuttered its doors in 2024 and the building has been dead-silent ever since. It comes as the Somerset Chinatown BIA issues an urgent call, with the neighbourhood in desperate need of an anchor business to host big events. CTV’s Kimberley Fowler has more on that story 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: CFRA's House Calls for Sun. July 26th, 2026

If many Blue Jays' fans reflect on 2025 as a magical campaign, 2026 is quickly turning into a waking nightmare. After dropping 3 of 4 against the Tampa Bay Rays, this year’s Toronto Blue Jays had an Expected Win-Loss of 45-58, worse than their actual record of 47-56. April 3rd was the last time they were above .500 this season, while June 22nd was the last time they were playing .500 baseball. And while their offense has been sputtering, their defense has been one of the MLB's worst, ranking Top 5 in errors committed. Add a slew of pitching injuries on top, and you’ve got a team that is likely going to be soft sellers at the upcoming Trade Deadline. How quickly can they turn things around, and could a potential work stoppage halt their progress? Technical producer Stephen Ellsworth joins Andrew Pinsent on CFRA Weekends.
