Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Mon. June 8th, 2026

The era of the mini-train is finally over, as Line 1 of Ottawa’s LRT has returned to normal service for the first time in 4 months. During peak hours, one train will arrive every 5 minutes. But how can we get people back on board? Mayor Sutcliffe, in collaboration with Capital Ward councillor Shawn Menard, is exploring options to rebuild goodwill and trust in the system. Would you give the train a second chance, and what would it take? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Shifting gears to the political arena, Louise Arbour has been sworn in as Canada’s new Governor General, while Ontario’s Premier pays a visit to Washington. We dig into both topics with our Political Heat Panel.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Mon. June 8th, 2026

Last week, Ottawa Bylaw Services seized over $69,000 worth of contraband vapes, which were snagged away from ‘several’ local businesses. Vapes fall under several laws, such as the federal Tobacco and Vaping Products Act and the provincial Smoke-Free Ontario Act. These retailers are also governed by city bylaws. As this was happening, a private member’s bill aimed at reducing youth vaping has passed First Reading at Queen’s Park, and will return to the Ontario Legislature this Fall. We dig deeper with Queen’s University professor Christian Leuprecht. Meantime, the City of Ottawa is investigating after a teenager was attacked by 3 coyotes in Orleans. The incident happened at Lalande Conservation Park this week, according to the mother of the 14-year-old boy. And now, residents are urging the municipality to take further action. That story is coming up in Hour 2. Plus, it’s been 10 years since a sinkhole opened up the bowels of Rideau Street. CFRA’s Chris Holski checks in with the locksmith that became famous in 2016. He was not able to access the trapped car, though.
