PODCAST: The Daily Review for Wed. April 8th, 2026

Effective this season, the Rideau-Carleton Raceway will be shutting down its harness racing operations, signaling the end of a horseracing tradition that has spanned more than 60 years. Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Ottawa says a string of financial stability concerns forced their hand, despite investing ‘millions of dollars’ in infrastructure upgrades. Brian Scott, a horse stable owner who lives in Brinston, explains how this decision has impacted his Ontario farm. 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.

Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Wed. April 8th, 2026

It's not the first time in the history of Canada's Capital where a project has gone over-budget. But what about a standalone public washroom in Centretown? Well, it happened, and Councillor Tierney says that $400,000 overspending tally keeps on climbing. So, until further notice, that project has been suspended. How do we find some common ground here? Guest host Andrew Pinsent sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today's Question of the Day. Meanwhile, just a few kilometres shy of Parliament Hill, the Vanier Sugar Shack is humming along just fine. We check in with Museoparc Vanier programming coordinator Nick Paquin. Plus, Canada's biggest city has given Artificial Intelligence the green light to tackle its traffic woes. Shruti Shekar, the editor-in-chief of Android Central, joins the show in Hour 3.
