Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Wed. May 14th, 2025

According to a new global study from UNICEF, today’s social struggles are making a lot of Canadian kids very unhappy. Fueled by a concoction of bullying, and a growing difficulty to make friends, the organization’s 19th Report Card displays a lot of red flags. It says 1-in-5 young people are facing frequent forms of bullying, while 1-in-5 feel lonely and 1-in-4 struggle to make friends. It’s a recipe for disaster and a powderkeg for suicide rates. Kristy Cameron digs deeper with Sheryl Boswell, the Executive Director of Youth Mental Health Canada. Plus, Loblaws Ltd. is expecting a surge in tariff-related price increases throughout its stores. This follows an inevitable decline in the grocer’s pre-tariff inventory. Joining us in Hour 1 with his reaction is Chetan Dave, a Professor of Economics at the University of Alberta.

Family doctor Danielle Smith has treated dozens of patients with itchy, painful rashes at her B.C. practice, but the blotchy red dots she saw earlier this year puzzled her. The rash was concentrated on the patient’s face and spread out as it moved down the body, almost as if a red bucket of paint had been poured over the person’s head.Dr. Smith asked her colleague and fellow physician Karina Zeidler for help. The patient was asked a series of questions, including about their travel history. Blood work was ordered. A urine sample was collected. The person’s nose was swabbed.
