The wheels on a truck, hauling a trailer, were going round and round on the Queensway yesterday morning. That is, until one of them flew off and caused a bunch of lane closures. To add another dose of fear to the rural chaos, a Bobcat vehicle was being housed inside the trailer when the accident took place. Miraculously, nobody was injured, but charges are now pending against the company that owns the truck. How does something like this happen in the first place?

You might never realize it, but Artificial Intelligence could soon be examining Ottawa’s transit cameras to deter crime. The City of Ottawa is mulling over ‘real-time detection A.I.’ for OC Transpo security cameras. It currently has 10,000 cameras in its arsenal, and Artificial Intelligence would be able to keep watch over city buses and transit stations to keep riders safe. Brian Mishara was heavily involved in a similar pilot project for Montreal’s transit system. He joins Kristy Cameron on today’s Ottawa Now.

The 2025 Ontario Coaching Report finds that hazing is far more common than you might expect. Based on a survey of athletes and unrelated parents, it finds that 1-in-7 athletes between the 6 to 9 age range have experienced some form of it. And when it comes to today’s early-teens, specifically in the 13 to 15 age range, 1-in-3 have dealt with it. Dr. Jay Johnson is a leading Canadian hazing researcher with 30 years of experience, and recently helped assemble the 2025 edition of this report. He joins Kristy Cameron on today’s Ottawa Now.
