Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Wed. March 11th, 2026

The National Capital Region has been placed under a Freezing Rain Warning for most of today, with a significant ice storm eager to wreak some havoc on power lines and trees. And as we’ve discovered throughout today’s broadcast, it was too much for Ottawa’s LRT to handle. CFRA’s Chris Holski has the latest on the latter. Then, we take a look at the roads with City of Ottawa Roads Manager Bryden Denyes. Plus, the Carney government says it will allow TikTok to continue operations in Canada. It follows a series of additional security guarantees from the social media platform, all of which will be aimed at better protecting user data. Kristy Cameron digs deeper with Shruti Shekar, the editor-in-chief of Android Central, in Hour 3.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Wed. March 11th, 2026

In the wake of a menacing ice storm, Ottawa’s LRT faced a daunting test of survival. And unfortunately, Line 1 blinked, as an overhead cable snapped just before 1:30 this afternoon. Sophie Vincent, who works at UOttawa, witnessed part of the incident. Sofia Mandoli, a transit rider, felt the ripple effect of Wednesday’s disaster. Both join Kristy Cameron in Hour 2. Plus, for the fourth time in 4 months, a Member of Parliament has crossed the floor to join the Carney Liberals. This time, it’s an NDP MP representing Nunavut. And with a trio of byelections scheduled for 2026, the Red Team only needs two vacant seats to secure a majority rule. CTV’s Mike LeCouteur drops by with the latest developments.
