Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Fri. February 27th, 2026

Funeral directors across Canada are warning grieving families about a series of third-party websites. They are allegedly republishing obituaries for profit, sometimes with fabricated details about the deceased. And while this type of immoral activity has been making headlines over the past 2 years, these sites are becoming more and more prominent in 2026. Kristy Cameron digs deeper with Jeff Hagel, a Western Region Representative for the Funeral Service Association of Canada. He has also worked directly with several families that have been impacted by obituary scraping. Shifting gears to the world of fast food, Burger King is planning to use Artificial Intelligence to monitor its minimum wage employees. And yes, that includes its Canadian chapters. CFRA’s Chris Holski delivers the details in Hour 2.
