PODCAST: The Daily Review for Tues. June 9th, 2026

The contractor tasked with building the Adisoke Library is in hot water with the City of Ottawa. The project is at least a year behind schedule, nearly double its original budget, and City Hall is not optimistic that a 2026 grand-opening is in the cards. And as we found out earlier this week, the municipality isn’t taking legal action off the table. How often are projects of this magnitude delayed, and why? Andrew Pinsent picks the brain of Michael Velo, a prominent Canadian construction lawyer. Meantime, a familiar face at Ottawa City Council will soon be installed as President for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. We check in with Tim Tierney, the voice of Beacon Hill-Cyrville Ward. But first, we take a look at what unfolded during Wednesday’s City Council meeting, and everything in between at 110 Laurier Avenue West.
