August 18, 2025
Pride Week is officially underway in Canada's Capital, as Monday marks the initial stages of Sunday's grand celebration. Guest host Andrew Pinsent chats with David Breault in Hour 2. He is a member of Capital Pride's Board of Directors. Meantime, a visually-impaired Ottawa woman says she’s been repeatedly denied UBER rides because of her service dog.

And as Michelle reveals in today's conversation, she has also been rejected UBER rides because of her service dog.
