May 21, 2025
3 years ago, the National Capital Region and various areas of Quebec became the primary target of a massive derecho. It destroyed dozens of homes, properties, infrastructure, and forests. Ottawa’s hydro crews dubbed it as the most devastating storm to strike our city – even bigger than the 1998 Ice Storm and the 2018 tornadoes. It’s a statement that Andrew Lussier can attest to, as he’s spent the past 3 years tirelessly repairing his damaged home. And in 2024, he finally got his insurance claims sorted. Lussier joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 1. Switching gears to the world of Artificial Intelligence, Shopify has launched a generative A.I. tool that builds complete websites, while a Chicago newspaper has been duped by a list of fake books. Tech expert Carmi Levy gives his two cents on both topics.
