Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Mon. April 13th, 2026

The Ford government is making sweeping changes to the school system, vowing to put student achievements and success above all else. But when it comes to the uncertain future of school board trustees, the messaging from Education Minister Paul Calandra remains muddy. Should we have local trustees in this education equation? How can the province better improve Ontario’s education experience? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, it’s a Monday afternoon, which means it’s time to talk politics with our Political Heat Panel. And when we wake up tomorrow morning, Prime Minister Carney might be directing a majority. We try to predict how tonight’s byelections will play out. Plus, we have uncovered the identity of Friday’s donut culprit! It is not Steve Bunda. It is not Ryan Knowles. In fact, it’s nobody from the CFRA Newsroom. And it’s a person that you definitely wouldn’t expect.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Mon. April 13th, 2026

In an effort to nudge Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the United States Military is vowing to block access to all Iranian ports until further notice. American President Donald Trump says the blockade began at 10 o’clock this morning, as he issued a warning to his Iranian counterparts on social media. If any Iranian ships sniff the U.S. blockade, Trump vows to ‘eliminate them immediately’. All of this comes after a weekend of negotiations between the two sides, which failed to deliver any sort of ceasefire agreement. And as we enter a brand-new week, we don’t know if or when those negotiations will resume. We deliver the bigger picture with David Fraser in Hour 2. He is a Military Analyst for CTV News and a Retired Major-General with the Canadian Armed Forces. Meantime, a pedestrian in Pembroke has been asked to chill out after allegedly yelling at a snowplow operator, and then chucking their coffee directly at the operator. Why? The snowplow accidentally splashed the pedestrian. In response, the City of Pembroke is preaching for a dose of civility. CFRA’s Chris Holski explains.
