VKS: The Daily Debrief - Tuesday Panel

Last week, OC Transpo released a memo that revealed a decline in bus reliability, particularly during the last week of January. Atisa Khlaj, who is studying Journalism and Political Science at Carleton University, has spent many hours waiting in the frigid cold, only for her bus to no-show. One day, she reached her breaking point, and vented her frustrations on Instagram. She joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 2. Meantime, U.S. President Donald Trump went on another Truth Social tirade against Canada last night, threatening to block the opening of the brand-new Gordie Howe Bridge. Connecting Windsor to Detroit, it was first approved by Trump himself during his first tenure as U.S. President, and it was labeled as one of his ‘priority projects’. That was back in 2017. We dig deeper with Alex Greco, a Senior Director of Manufacturing and Value Chains at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. Plus, the Mayor of North Grenville is once again arguing in favour of remote work for public employees, a puzzling decision in the eyes of many due to the community’s continued growth. Most of that growth is largely thanks to the town’s close proximity to Canada’s Capital. CFRA’s Chris Holski has more on that.

Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Tues. February 10th, 2026

If you’re worried about your health, whether it’s mental or physical pain, one of the most ill-advised ideas to pursue is taking your problems to the Google homepage. What starts as a general question on Web M.D. could turn into a fear-induced rabbit hole. Today, Artificial Intelligence is taking things one step further, as A.I. now has the ability to generate medical advice based around your questions or concerns. Understandably, the Canadian Medical Association is warning fellow Canadians about the dangers of conferring with A.I. over such matters. Kristy Cameron chats with Dr. Alykhan Abdulla, a family doctor who is based in Manotick. Later in the show, we pick the brain of Dr. David Barber, a Kingston-based family doctor who also works with the Ontario Medical Association. Meantime, we have an update into the heart-wrenching story of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of a famous TV host who went missing last week. Foul play has been suspected in her disappearance, and the Guthrie family is willing to pay money for Nancy’s safe return. CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent joins us with the latest developments from the FBI. But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines.
