PODCAST: The Daily Review for Mon. June 29th, 2026

A Canadian-American artist from Ottawa has made a 4-foot-tall beaver statue for the United States. It’s part of the Great Beaver Quest – an art installation initiative that honours the countries participating in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. That statue, however, has been vandalized. Alyah Holmes joins guest host Chris Holski in Hour 4. Then, we preview tonight’s CTV Ottawa supper-hour newscast. And if news breaks in real time, you’ll hear it live on CFRA’s Ottawa Now.

Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Mon. June 29th, 2026

Bryan Adams. Shania Twain. Leonard Cohen. Gordon Lightfoot. Alanis Morrissette. Today, and throughout the week, we are celebrating everything that makes Canada great. Today’s topic is music, but we are trying to narrow down that exclusive list of songwriters to just one name. Who is the king (or queen) of Canadian musicians? Guest host Chris Holski sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Sticking with Canadian quirks, what is Cornwall-style pizza? A new TV series is aiming to fill us in. Plus, it’s a Monday afternoon, which means it’s time to talk politics with our Political Heat Panel.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Mon. June 29th, 2026

A warning to our listeners that portions of Hour 2 are deeply disturbing. Two children have been found dead in a double murder-suicide, according to the Ottawa Police Service. At around 10 o’clock this morning, officers conducted a wellness check at a home on Mandevilla Crescent in Ottawa’s Findlay Creek neighbourhood. Police say – tragically – a 7-year-old boy and a 12-year-old boy were found deceased. An investigation is now underway, and authorities say it is very complex. Guest host Chris Holski digs deeper with Chris Lewis, a former OPP Commissioner. On a lighter note, Canada Day is a few days away, and plenty of local events are unfolding on July 1st. We take a ride to Barrhaven, where preparations are underway for the Mattamy Homes Canada Day celebrations.
