Adele Raemer has made one trip back to her and her families' homes in Kibbutz Nirim since evacuating after Hamas' attack on Israel. The homes near the Gaza strip tell a story of wreckage and war now somewhat stuck in time. Raemer is also friends with Judith Weinstein, one of two Canadians currently held hostage, with no updates on possible return.

Raemer joins Vassy Kapelos from Israel to walk through her emotions marking one month of war and reflecting on that return to her home last week in the aftermath.

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.
