Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Fri. June 20th, 2025

June 20, 2025

As Thursday morning gave way to Thursday afternoon, a major crash on Highway 417 slowed Eastbound traffic to a snail-paced crawl. This disruption, in turn, impacted a slew of arterial roads and side-streets. How can the City of Ottawa mitigate a traffic nightmare of this magnitude? According to former OPP Commissioner Chris Lewis, police officers have a tough job on their hands, from investigating the crash and diverting traffic to keeping the public informed on every single detail. He joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 1. Plus, as a multitude of industries dabble into ChatGPT, a new study explains how that test drive could turn into an unhealthy force of habit, and potentially harm our brains. Can this device make us dumber? If so, how long could it take? CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent tees up that debate.
