Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Tues. April 21st, 2026

Doctors are increasingly intervening to address harm caused by patients who acted on false health information, the majority of which was found online. That’s according to a new survey published by the Canadian Medical Association, which says A.I. is right in the middle of the chaos. How often do you ask technology for modern-day health advice? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Later in Hour 2, we check in with CTV’s Austin Lee, who is monitoring flood levels all along the Ottawa River this afternoon. And finally, we pay a visit to Helen Malacrida, who has lived in Constance Bay for the past 35 years. When it comes to spring flooding, this isn’t her first rodeo, and she might be in for another rough one if the water levels rise any further. At the moment, they are riding up against the sandbags that are protecting her house.
