Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Tues. April 7th, 2026

Technology in vehicle headlights has advanced in recent years, allowing drivers to see the roads better at night. However, there is a big drawback. Oncoming drivers could be blinded by the light they generate. And to nobody’s surprise, complaints are going up, which has triggered a new survey from Transport Canada. Kristy Cameron digs deeper with Daniel Stern in Hour 1. He is a Vancouver-based vehicle lighting and regulation expert. Later in the program, we check in with Julie Beun, the Managing Director of Communications and Public Relations for CAA North and East Ontario. Meantime, Tuesday is a busy day at Ottawa City Hall, with five committees assembling for regular checkups. Among the list of committees in attendance today is the Finance and Corporate Service Committee. CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent bring us up to speed on that front. But first, we recap today’s top headlines.
