PODCAST: The Daily Review for Thurs. March 12th, 2026

Ottawa city councillors unanimously approved a $200 million revitalization plan for the ByWard Market, with several key amendments proposed by Rideau-Vanier councillor Stéphanie Plante. It includes pedestrian-friendly initiatives, increased after-hours daycare spots to cater to the Market’s nightlife economy, and 24/7 accessible public washrooms. It also recognizes the importance and impact of Ottawa’s social services, particularly in the Downtown Core where they are highly concentrated. Joining us with her reaction is Sylvie Bigras, the President of the Lowertown Community Association. Meantime, as the price of oil and gas skyrockets due to the Iran War, experts fear that grocery prices will be next. We dig deeper in Hour 2 with Sylvain Charlebois, a Senior Director with the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University. But you can just call him ‘The Food Professor’.

LRT service on the Eastern section of Line 1 remained offline this morning, as crews clean up Wednesday’s accident near Lees Station.

CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent delivers the latest developments in Hour 1. Meantime, The Ottawa Hospital is spearheading a groundbreaking international clinical trial in blood clot research. We dig deeper with Dr. Lana Castellucci, a Senior Scientist and Thrombosis Physician at The Ottawa Hospital. She is also the lead author of this trial. But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines.
