Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Mon. July 21st, 2025
July 21, 2025
Chris Holski is filling in for the vacationing Kristy Cameron today. Like many of our listeners, he attended the Green Day concert at RBC Bluesfest on Friday night. To say the least, the atmosphere was far from plain. Holski delivers his unfiltered breakdown, and also shouts out the opening acts who kicked maximum ass. Meantime, you know what doesn't kick ass? Traffic congestion. The City of Toronto is hoping that a Chief Congestion Officer can provide an urgent elixir to Canada's biggest city. In the midst of our current traffic hiccups and inconveniences, do you think Canada's Capital needs one? We pose that question to Yasser Hassan, a Professor in Transportation Engineering at Carleton University. He is also the Chair of Carleton’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, studying the effects of driver behaviour and traffic safety on a regular basis. Plus, as we dig deep into the dog days of a Canadian summer, it's a good time to highlight the importance of drowning prevention. Sean Duffy from the Lifesaving Society of Ontario pays us a visit in Hour 1, as we kick off National Drowning Prevention Week.

T here is no better place to online-stalk someone than Spotify. Forget scouring their Instagram followers or tracking down their high school volunteer experiences on LinkedIn. Don’t waste time perusing photos their mom posted on Facebook nine years ago. If you want to get to know someone—and I mean really know them—there is no profile more intimate than one created on the music-streaming platform.
Spotify doesn’t function as a true social media app. You can’t share standalone pictures or posts, and you can’t message other users. But you can view other users’ public playlists...

On Thursday at X o’clock, the nice doctor
will give her the shot and she’ll go. I plan to be
there with her children, the new elders.
All day I walk around in thirty-degree heat, my toe rubbing the inside
of my leather shoe, reddening. Soon it will bleed.
If I were dying Thursday, this might be
the last smoke bush I see. Its red hair on fire.
And buying ginger ale at the corner store, I stare
at the purple $10 bill a long time, Viola Desmond’s face.
Maybe the last purple $10 bill. My last
tea at Annapurna. I don’t tell the friendly server
I won’t be back.
Somewhere, the waves of the sea...
