PODCAST: The Daily Review for Mon. July 6th, 2026

Like a noticeable chunk of Ottawa’s homeowners, Kristy Cameron returned from vacation to a rude awakening, as Canada’s Capital continues to clean up Mother Nature’s mess. The Canada Day floods have impacted almost 4,500 homes – an alarming statistic when you consider that the 2019 floods ravaged nearly 2,000 homes. In the days that have followed this Canada Day disaster, several local councillors and MPPs have penned an open letter to Queen’s Park, calling on the Ford government to make disaster relief funding available for residents. Mayor Mark Sutcliffe says the City of Ottawa will fully investigate what led to this wave of mass flooding, and analyze what can be done to prevent future waves from escalating. How concerned are you about Ottawa’s infrastructure? Should surveys be conducted to analyze our city’s weakest points? College Ward councillor Laine Johnson joins Kristy Cameron on today’s Ottawa Now.

Ottawa Now - 'It's going to be done with a scalpel, not a sledgehammer': Analyzing Ottawa's infrastructure following the Canada Day floods

A string of unrelenting and unforgiving thunderstorms slammed straight into the National Capital Region on Canada Day, as 118 millimetres of rain fell from the sky. The endless downpour cancelled a string of Canada Day activities and left over 3,200 basements flooded. Less than a week later, lots of basements in Canada's Capital are still waterlogged. In fact, many are still waiting to hear from their insurance providers about the next steps they should take. Is there any way that homeowners and businesses can expedite that process? And in the case of a significant weather event, what should you do if you’re waiting around in a waterlogged property? Rob de Pruis is the National Director of Consumer and Industry Relations at the Insurance Bureau of Canada. He joins Kristy Cameron on today's Ottawa Now.
