The federal government is asking the City of Ottawa to hold off on its plans to reopen Wellington Street to vehicle traffic. In fact, they want to purchase a section of the Downtown icon from the municipality, with the intention of keeping that portion closed. We get instant reaction from Mayor Sutcliffe at 4:20.

Meantime, a Parliamentary Committee is trying to clear the air surrounding alleged incidents of foreign interference. Why are we failing to eradicate it? We tackle that subject in Hour 1. Then, we bring in our Political Heat Panel in Hour 3. Plus, how do you feel when you see your favourite hockey stars featured in gambling ads? It sounds like the Ontario government is pondering significant changes as to who appears on these advertisements. We get the bigger picture from Dr. Andrew Kim, a Chair in Addition Psychology with the Canadian Psychological Association.
