PODCAST: CFRA's House Calls for Sun. April 12th, 2026

The overall layout of Canada’s Capital possesses an intriguing combination of old and new designs, with some of the city’s oldest parts dating back to the days where limestone facades were commonplace. And if you do a lengthy tour of Canada itself, you might notice similar patterns in the cities and small towns you visit. However, in the eyes of a local writer and activist, today’s creations have become far too bland, as the olden days give way to a more generic background. CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent digs deeper with Canadian writer Suneeta Millington, who has previously served as the Chair of the Prime Ministers’ Row Initiative and on the Steering Committee for the National Arts Centre’s Southam Club. You can also find her viewpoints in a recent op-ed on MacLean’s Magazine.

CFRA Weekends - Has the modernization of today's neighbourhoods made Canada look too bland?

The Ottawa 67's were able to dispatch the Kingston Frontenacs in 4 straight, giving them a little extra time to prepare for a 'work-boots series' against the Barrie Colts. But after taking both regular season games in Barrie, Round 2 hasn't started off well for the barber poles, as the Colts hold a 2-0 series lead heading into Tuesday's Game 3. With the series now shifting to TD Place, how can Ottawa turn things around? Technical producer Stephen Ellsworth joins Andrew Pinsent on CFRA Weekends.
