PODCAST: The Daily Review for Fri. October 16th, 2026

Ottawa voters are getting an early say as to who will lead our city for the next 4 years. Over the next few hours, the Advanced Polls will be shuttered, leading to long lineups and a mad pre-Midnight dash to the ballot box. CTV’s Katelyn Wilson joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 4. Then, we preview tonight’s CTV Ottawa supper-hour newscast with Jackie Perez and Stefan Keyes. And if news breaks in real time, you’ll hear it live on CFRA’s Ottawa Now.

Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Fri. October 16th, 2026

For anyone who wants to get ahead early on Voting Day 2026, today is the day! Once the clock strikes Midnight, your next and final chance to cast your ballot is on Election Day. Will you take advantage of the Advanced Polls? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, it’s better to be 30 minutes late than 60 years too early in heaven. Unfortunately, that saying hasn’t done enough to prevent all of this year’s fatalities on Ottawa’s roads. In fact, there have been 30 road deaths in Canada’s Capital in 2026, and we still have over 2 months to go. We dissect the sobering data with Kelly Banks in Hour 3. She is the Director of Programs with the Ottawa Safety Council.
