Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, Ottawa’s largest school board has officially kickstarted a new reality, and it wasn’t their choice. Roughly 77,000 students and 12,000 staff members headed back to OCDSB classrooms earlier this morning, as the province keeps a watchful eye on their operations. Back in late-June, the Ontario government placed the OCDSB under supervision after the school board posted four straight deficit budgets, including a projected $9.2 million deficit for the previous learning season. We get a quick check-in from OCDSB Trustee Lyra Evans in Hour 3.

T he telegram on January 24, 1965, time-stamped 3:49 p.m., extended a formal invitation to an ailing, largely forgotten ninety-three-year-old British army general in Canada to attend the funeral of a famous ninety-year-old statesman in England: “Please cable if you can or cannot accept invitation to state funeral of Sir Winston Churchill St. Paul’s Cathedral London Saturday 30th January 1965 Stop.”
The invitation was delivered to a name and an address in a distant place, St. John’s, Newfoundland, the recipient presumably unfamiliar and irrelevant to the organizers of an event of global...
