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.
