PODCAST: The Daily Review for Tues. October 20th, 2026

An Ottawa business owner says her fitness studio has been left devastated after a hacker wiped away 11 years of marketing history in just a matter of minutes. Jenna Ladd was spending Thanksgiving with her family at Saunders Farm when her business’ social media accounts were compromised and permanently deleted. Despite paying for a verified security status on the platform, automated A.I. customer service systems have left Ladd unable to appeal the decision, or to seek out human help. Kristy Cameron speaks to the owner of Iron North Studio Gym in Hour 2. Meantime, if your current life feels like a pair of shoes that are 2 sizes too small, why do you keep wearing them anyway? In today’s edition of Self-Help Tuesday with Ottawa-based psychotherapist Benslyne Avril, we explain how you can spark those lifestyle changes.

Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Tues. October 20th, 2026

Internet voting is available in a lot of Ontario’s municipalities. To be more specific, 272 municipalities are offering it for this year’s Municipal Elections – with places like Kingston and Coburg and Cornwall giving it a whirl for the first time. However, in our city, we still carry that old-school mindset. Whenever you cast your ballot, you have to do it in-person. Big cities, such as Toronto and London, are also opting out of the online method for 2026. If you had the option to cast your ballot online, would you? Should we have that option available to us? Kristy Cameron digs deeper with Lydia Miljan in Hour 1. She is a political scientist at the University of Windsor. Speaking of voting, it was a late night in Alberta, as the province took part in the October 19th referendum. If the majority of respondents voted to stick with Canada, the separatists’ proposal was dead in the water. But if enough respondents said ‘Yes’ to splitting apart, then a final vote would have been casted at a later date. In the end, by an overwhelming majority, Alberta is staying put. We gather the political implications from CTV’s Vassy Kapelos. But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines.
