Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Wed. June 25th, 2025

Andrew Pinsent is filling in for Kristy Cameron this afternoon, as she tries to enjoy the cottage life without getting pelted by raindrops. Artificial Intelligence continues to advance at a rapid pace, and people are taking advantage of those perks, regardless of the benefits or consequences. How will it impact the economy-at-large moving forward? What about Canada’s workforce as we know it? We dig deeper with Mark Daley, who is the Chief A.I. Officer at Western University. Plus, we continue our Proudly Canadian segment this afternoon, as Dr. Shawna Pandya drops by for a visit. She is a Manitoba-born, Edmonton-raised physician and space scientist. And as early as 2026, she will be joining a team of talented minds upon the Virgin Galactic, where a one-way ticket into space will be their main course.
