We replay our Wednesday Check-Up where we hear that housing is healthcare. Plus, compared to last year, the amount of e-scooter related injuries has ballooned dramatically, according to numbers released by CHEO. CTV's Austin Lee dives into the findings.

Then, we preview tonight's CTV Ottawa supper-hour newscast with Jackie Perez and Stefan Keyes. And if news breaks in real time, you'll hear it live on CFRA's Ottawa Now.

Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Wed. August 12th, 2026

This summer has been a wet one in Ottawa. Actually, it's already the wettest on record. What's in store for the rest of the summer and fall? Weather Network's Doug Gillham shares the forecast with us. 

Also, does having access to affordable, clean housing affect your health? On our Wednesday Check-Up, Dr. Alykhan Abdulla, a family doctor in Manotick, argues that it does.

Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Wed. August 12th, 2026

Do you think Canada and the US can hammer out a deal ahead of the August 19th deadline? That's our Question of the Day! We take your texts, emails, calls, messages via carrier pigeons, on this matter. Later, we hear how an Ottawa dentist is volunteering free dental treatment at the Ottawa Mission. Plus, it's a far cry from last year but youth unemployment is falling.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Wed. August 12th, 2026

We are one week away from another Tariff Day. But if a deal can be reached between the Carney Liberals and U.S. President Trump, perhaps the massive U.S. tariffs won’t hit Canada as hard. Can the feds dodge next Wednesday’s bullet? Kristy Cameron digs deeper with Diamond Isinger, a former Special Advisor on Canada-USA Relations to the Trudeau government. Meantime, many people will have their eyes on the skies tonight. And no, it’s not because of an incoming rainstorm. It’s a solar eclipse – and perhaps a meteor shower mixed in. We check in with Elaina Hyde, the Director of the Allan I. Carswell Observatory, in Hour 1. But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines.
