PODCAST: The Daily Review for Tues. April 7th, 2026

More Canadians say they are willing to serve in the Armed Forces if Canada gets involved in a major conflict. A new poll, performed by Nanos Research for The Globe And Mail, revealed that 24 percent of respondents expressed a willingness to serve in the Canadian Military full-time if that dreadful moment arrived. Back in November of last year, that number sat at a concerning 12 percent. It comes at a time of increasing global instability – highlighted by conflicts such as the Iran War and ongoing tensions between Canada and its closest North American neighbour. And finally, these findings are unveiled months after Prime Minister Carney announced a significant boost in defense spending. Kristy Cameron checks in with Retired General Tom Lawson, a former Chief of Defense Staff for the Canadian Armed Forces.

Ottawa Now - New poll says growing number of Canadians are willing to fight for their country in a time of crisis

Modern headlights are brighter than ever before, allowing for better visibility for both the driver and for passing vehicles. At the same time, the use of xenon and LED lights, as opposed to the longtime incandescent ones, aren’t as easy on the eyes. And a growing number of drivers have been very vocal about those cons, as Transport Canada is collecting a wide range of responses on its website until April 20th. Vancouver City Council is calling on the feds to set more precise and enforceable restrictions on headlight brightness, beam pattern, and mounting height. Earlier this Winter, a Gatineau man submitted a petition to the House of Commons about this exact matter. And even in the United States, it’s created quite the stir, as Democratic Representative Marie Gluesenkamp-Perez took this debate to Capitol Hill last year. Have today's headlights become too harsh? What, if anything, can be done to rectify this problem? Dr. Ralph Chou is a Professor Emeritus in Optometry and Vision Science at the University of Waterloo, and an editor-in-chief for the Canadian Journal of Optometry. He joins Kristy Cameron on today’s Ottawa Now.
