Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. January 8th, 2026

A new survey says a growing number of Canadians are using A.I. tools every day, whether it’s for work-related reasons or just daily chores. However, it’s mostly the younger generations that are taking these devices for a test drive. How much do you rely on these gadgets as part of your lifestyle? If you’re 35-and-under, is it part of your daily routine already? If you’re 35-and-above, are you worried about being left behind? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, the CRA claims that it's still owed over $10 billion in COVID Emergency Benefits that were paid to applicants who were later deemed ineligible. We gather the details from CTV's Katelyn Wilson. Then, we hear from Dawn Barton, a hairstylist who is facing this exact dilemma. And shifting gears to local news, Ottawa’s Perley Health is set to eliminate more than 50 positions, a decision that is causing plenty of backlash. We deliver the latest developments as they become available.
