It’s Your Call With John Mielke

Ontario's Premier is set to announce approval for some privately owned clinics to begin offering surgeries for things like hips, knees, cataracts... The idea being to take some of the burden off of our existing health care infrastructure.

In 3 years you won't be able to buy a gas car from a dealer even if they have it in stock, until they sell a mandated number of electric vehicles first.

Languages, math, science, geography, history... What are the most basic things you feel every student should be taught before they graduate high school?

- Name the PM?

- Name your province’s Premier?

- How many of the Great Lakes could they name?

- Where is Hudson Bay?

- In which province or provinces would you find the Rocky Mountains?

- Could they name all of the oceans that Canada touches?

- Do they know Canada has had a female prime minister?  Could they name her?

- Do they know the zipper was invented here?  The caulking gun, the paint roller?   The Robertson screwdriver?  Basketball?  The telephone?

- Do they know what signal hill is?

Snow and ice were "too much for us to handle" says OC Transpo's GM.

As the public service gets set to return to downtown after an absence of two years, our LRT has been broken down for six days and almost exclusively, no elected official in Ottawa has taken to social media to address it.

On a list of 23, Ottawa is the only Canadian city listed by CNN as a "must visit" destination!

We want to find out what you love most about Ottawa - what would YOU suggest a tourist see?

Today we hear some of your memories and experiences of the ice storm, which happened this day in 1998.

Within moments of news breaking that Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin was administered CPR during Monday night’s game, the messages on social media quickly assumed that his situation was due to Covid vaccines.

It had EVERYTHING to do with blunt force trauma from another player’s helmet hitting him square in the chest at 30 mph.  But some just can't accept that and HAVE to blame it on vaccines.

We discuss how we’re each managing those types of posts on our social media feeds.

And… and OPP officer killed in the line of duty.   Ambushed by two convicted criminals, both out on bail, both with warrants, and one with an illegally obtained firearm.

We want to know what you are doing to insists on changes that impact those who use illegal weapons instead of laws that impact those who acquire weapons legally and for zero ill intent.

Our listeners share some of their fondest memories of Christmas as a kid... And what they love most about Christmas now.

What has happened in the years since we were kids?   How can 8 teenage girls be out of the house in the middle of the night, and commit murder?

Vicky Eatrides is the new Chair and CEO of the CRTC.   Coming from the competition law side of things I'm encouraged by her comments that she wants to put "money back in people’s pockets, ensuring more choice and promoting innovation.”
