PODCAST: The Daily Review for Tues. March 10th, 2026

Yesterday, we were talking about soaring oil and gas prices on the program. Oil has reached its highest price tag since 2022, coming in at nearly $120 per barrel before slumping to just $90 per barrel. Obviously, you’ve seen the surging gas prices by now. But the ongoing conflict in Iran is also driving up the price of transport goods, which could mean higher prices for everyday essentials. And if the price of airline fuel is going up, then passengers might be feeling the burn when trying to book a flight. Here to elaborate further is John Gradek, an aviation expert who has held senior roles at Air Canada during his decorated career in the industry. Meantime, a local parent is sounding the alarm against the viral TikTok Benadryl challenge after it nearly took her daughter’s life. Joining the show in Hour 2 is Timothy Caulfield, a Professor of Health Policy at the University of Alberta. Plus, the present-day version of Wiarton Willie will never see his shadow again. CFRA’s Chris Holski explains why.

Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Tues. March 10th, 2026

Wednesday is shaping up to be a ‘fun’ day for travel in Canada’s Capital. And by fun, we mean probably miserable. The forecast is calling for a ton of freezing rain, with the first glimpses of chaotic weather starting later tonight. It continues into the overnight hours, and basically all of Wednesday morning. And on top of what could be a chaotic daytime commute, the Ottawa Senators are finally back home from the road, as the Montreal Canadiens roll into town for a Wednesday night primetime broadcast. When it’s all said and done, we could be looking at an ice storm that is similar to the one we saw in April of 2023. Kristy Cameron taps into the latest developments with Doug Gillham, a meteorologist with The Weather Network. Shifting gears to the hype around high-speed rail, a pair of Ontario Mayors have banded together in a bid to make Kingston a high-speed rail stop. That’s because, right now, it isn’t. Kingston Mayor Bryan Paterson pays us a visit in Hour 1. But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines.
