If you’ve heard of The Smiths, then you’ve probably heard the voice of British pop singer Morrissey. He will be performing at Ottawa’s CityFolk tonight, as the famous local festival moves back to Lansdowne Park for its 31st edition. This popular solo act is also a vocal animal rights advocate, and he’s requested that fans don’t bring any sort of meat products to his performances. Furthermore, he has asked tonight’s food vendors to scrap every single meat product that they sell during his Friday night setlist. CityFolk says they will respect his wishes, and will be cracking down on meat products if they enter the venue. Kristy Cameron chats with CityFolk executive director Mark Monahan in Hour 1.

We dig through the data with Dr. David Messika-Zeitoun, who is the OHI’s Director of the Centre for Valvular Disease. But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines, starting with the capture of a 22-year-old man in Utah. Back on Wednesday, American political activist Charlie Kirk was shot dead during a speaking engagement. Authorities spent countless hours looking for Kirk’s killer. Today, they got him.
