Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Wed. April 24th, 2024

A handful of Ontario highways will be upping their speed limits later this Summer. Well, it was the Ford government who signed that letter, not the highways themselves. And one of the highways that will be included in this plan is Highway 416. Another is Highway 401, a well-travelled stretch of road for anyone who wants to access the GTA. Is this the right path forward? Kristy Cameron tackles today’s Question of the Day. Plus, Ottawa’s largest school board is launching an elementary program review, all part of a widespread debriefing of its programs. They are doing this to determine whether the current program structure fits the present-day needs of the community, as well as the student’s aspirations. How could this impact French Immersion courses? We chat with Pino Buffone, the OCDSB’s Director of Education.

Rex Murphy, the irascible, irrepressibly proud son of Newfoundland who parlayed a cutting wit and generous spirit into a decades-long career as a broadcaster and columnist, died Thursday of cancer at the age of 77.Over the course of his life, Mr. Murphy went from admiring large-L Liberal politics and prime ministers to embracing culture wars and climate denialism. He was most recently a columnist with the National Post, which first reported the news of his death. He had worked there since 2010. Previously, he had worked as a columnist for The Globe and Mail.
