In a city where 25,000 public sector jobs could be on the chopping block, Shane Hewitt reflects on how living in Ottawa reshapes the way federal budgets feel. This episode opens with a grounded look at the public service boom — and what job cuts really mean when they land in your backyard.

But the real heart of the show comes in the second half: a warm, personal conversation about solitude. From walking without the dog to late-night Lego sessions, Shane, Ryan O’Donnell, and David Hunter explore what it means to truly be alone — and why that time matters. Insightful, introspective, and full of moments that linger, it’s Good News Tuesday with a deeply human twist.
