VKS: The Explainer - The difference between A.I. and 'Superintelligence'

Dr. Barry Dworkin sifts through the CFRA textboard and takes your calls. But first, we turn our attention to another concerning healthcare coverage story. A 37-year-old Ontario father is suffering from Stage 4 cancer, and is seeking out-of-country treatment. There is just one problem: OHIP refused to cover it. We explain what happened next - and expand upon the bigger picture.

PODCAST: CFRA's House Calls for Sun. September 27th, 2026

Welcome to this week’s edition of Simply Ottawa – a Sunday subsection of CFRA Weekends. Amanda Baker, the founder of consulting firm Baked Good Impact and a lifelong cook herself, was recently drawn back into the culinary world during an appearance on MasterChef Canada. Season 9, for those curious, is now underway. And while her appearance was short-lived, it was a positive one and filled with many key takeaways. She joins Simply Ottawa host Andrew Pinsent for a candid discussion. Meantime, Canadian singer-songwriter Logan Staats is set to release his new album ‘Peacemaker’ this coming Friday. It's ahead of his show at the National Arts Centre’s Fourth Stage this coming Saturday, and highlights the final moments of Capital Music Week. He delves into some of his biggest inspirations and his best musical memories. On a more serious note, Wednesday marks the 6th annual Truth and Reconciliation Day. Teresa Edwards, the Executive Director for the Legacy of Hope Foundation, explains how you can get involved. Plus, after Canada balled out at the Wheelchair Basketball Championships, it might be a good time for local residents to take this sport for a test drive. Wheelchair Basketball Canada CEO Wendy Gittens joins us ahead of the 5th annual Wheelchair Basketball Week.
