What you need to know about mortgages in 2026

A cold snap will help Ottawa's ODR facilities this weekend, including their biggest pond in Downtown Ottawa. However, Friday's warm weather will temporarily close the Rideau Canal. We get the latest developments from CTV's Jackie Perez. Then, we preview tonight’s CTV Ottawa supper-hour newscast with Stefan Keyes. And if news breaks in real time, you’ll hear it live on CFRA’s Ottawa Now.

Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. January 8th, 2026

A new survey says a growing number of Canadians are using A.I. tools every day, whether it’s for work-related reasons or just daily chores. However, it’s mostly the younger generations that are taking these devices for a test drive. How much do you rely on these gadgets as part of your lifestyle? If you’re 35-and-under, is it part of your daily routine already? If you’re 35-and-above, are you worried about being left behind? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, the CRA claims that it's still owed over $10 billion in COVID Emergency Benefits that were paid to applicants who were later deemed ineligible. We gather the details from CTV's Katelyn Wilson. Then, we hear from Dawn Barton, a hairstylist who is facing this exact dilemma. And shifting gears to local news, Ottawa’s Perley Health is set to eliminate more than 50 positions, a decision that is causing plenty of backlash. We deliver the latest developments as they become available.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. January 8th, 2026

Ottawa Police is highlighting early-season results from its newly-launched District Traffic Units and Road Safety Units. They began operations last month to address ongoing community concerns, with traffic safety chief among them. OPS Acting Staff-Sergeant Amy Gagnon crunches the numbers for us in Hour 2. Then, we dig through the latest flu numbers with Ottawa’s Medical Officer of Health, as Dr. Trevor Arnason spearheads another edition of ‘Your Health’. Plus, a dog chews on a cord and starts a fire in Orleans. CFRA's Chris Holski has more on that.
