OC Transpo’s General Manager says he feels that Ottawa’s transit system is in a good place. Now, time and performance will be the ultimate judge of that, but the Head of ATU 279 is cautiously optimistic about the direction of things as well. They represent OC Transpo employees – from drivers, to train conductors, and every employee in between. As a transit rider, how are you feeling right now? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, a new report says that Ontario manufacturers are facing shortages in key skilled trades. These findings have been unveiled by the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters, which says apprenticeship pathways aren’t keeping pace with modern manufacturing. It also says that, despite a sharp decline in Ontario’s manufacturing job vacancy rate, the industry is still facing structural workforce challenges. We check in with Dennis Darby, the President and CEO of the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters.

It seems like everyone is dropping like flies these days. Just ask a few of our Newsroom members. And yes, we know it’s late-September. This isn’t a new trend. But with cold-and-flu season fast approaching, how can we stay healthy and avoid getting sick? Pinch-hitting on this week’s edition of The Check-Up is Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, the Medical Officer of Health at the Eastern Ontario Health Unit. Meantime, a trio of experts are briefing the U.N. Security Council today. That list of names includes the CEOs of OpenAI, Anthropic, and Hugging Face. It comes amid recent warnings about how quickly the technology could slip beyond humanity’s grasp. We dig deeper with Shion Guha, the Director of the Human-Centred Data Science Lab at the University of Toronto. Plus, a book is being recalled in Canada due to a safety hazard. Yes, you read that right. CFRA’s Chris Holski tells us why.
