01:00Good evening.
01:05We begin tonight with frustration for some transit riders who are being charged not once but twice for a single long trip.
01:13Construction delays and the new bus network are making some people's commutes to and from the suburbs extremely long.
01:19So long, in fact, that they exceed O.C. Transpo's transfer window and one councillor is calling for changes.
01:25CTV's Austin Lee joins us now with the details on this one, Austin.
01:29Patricia, Barhaven West Councillor David Hill says O.C. Transpo's current 90-minute transfer window simply isn't long enough for some of those long trips.
01:38Sometimes the bus will say zero minutes away and 30 minutes later it shows up.
01:43For many transit riders in Ottawa, patience is a virtue, especially if you live in Barhaven and have to commute to the city's core or Gatineau.
01:53I take multiple buses and I think 90 minutes is definitely not enough.
01:57In some cases, the commute is so long it exceeds the 90-minute transfer window, forcing some passengers to pay twice for a single trip.
02:06There have definitely been times where I've had to pay twice because the bus rides are either delayed or, like I said, they don't show up at all.
02:13Take, for example, the route of someone looking to return home to Barhaven after working a shift in downtown Hull.
02:20One of the quicker options includes three different buses and the O-Train.
02:25In all, that's about an hour and a half commute, assuming everything is on time and there are no traffic delays, but that's often not the case.
02:33A transit rider should not have to pay twice for one trip when they're going from point A to point B.
02:38From construction delays to bus route changes, Councillor David Hill says there are a number of issues at play.
02:46The reliability out of Tunney's pasture in the afternoon peak to get out of there is not where it should be.
02:52So that does need to be addressed in terms of scheduling.
02:55He's now asking city staff to review the 90-minute transfer window to see if it can be extended.
03:01I've asked OC Transport to take a look at it, talked to a lot of my colleagues, they're supportive of this, and yeah, we want to see this get fixed.
03:06Anyone who is charged twice for the same trip can reach out to OC Transpo to request a refund,
03:13but many transit riders say they would prefer to have the transfer window increased.
03:17Oh my goodness, that would be amazing. Two hours would make a huge difference.
03:25OC Transpo says staff are currently analyzing the potential impacts of extending that transfer window.
03:32For perspective, Gatineau's STO has a transfer window of two hours, so two to the public transit operators in Montreal and in Toronto.
03:41Patricia?
03:42It is kind of insult to injury, right? Your trip took really, really long.
03:46Cha-ching. You've got to pay again.
03:49CTV's Austin Lee live on this one for us tonight. Thank you very much.
03:52And you can download the CTV News app right now. Just scan the QR code on your screen using your smartphone.
03:57We have more details on those calls to extend OC Transpo's 90-minute transfer window.
04:04Well, a popular beach in Gatineau is closed for swimming for a second straight day in the middle of this heat wave after a spill in the water.
04:11And tonight, we're learning a little bit more about what happened and the reason for the closure.
04:15The beach is located in Leamy Lake Park. It's about a 10-minute drive north of downtown Ottawa.
04:21CTV's Kimberly Fowler joins us now with the latest on this. Kimberly.
04:24Well, Patricia, the NCC says the beach is closed because of what it calls a hydrocarbon spill in the lake yesterday.
04:30Conservation officers are now investigating.
04:33A hydrocarbon spill typically refers to oil or petroleum products such as gasoline or diesel fuel spilling into the water.
04:40The NCC says mitigation measures are in place to help limit the extent of the spill, including a barrier to absorb what's been spilled.
04:49We spoke with some beachgoers in Gatineau today. Here's some of what they had to say about the closure.
04:53I'm not really concerned, honestly. I think there's worse things.
04:56It's really annoying. I'm hot. I kind of want to die right now, but I can't swim.
05:04I guess it makes you wonder if there's any way to improve our infrastructure and kind of prevent these unfortunate situations.
05:13The NCC says swimming is prohibited during the closure and other water activities like kayaking and paddleboarding are not recommended.
05:21So far, the cause of the spill hasn't been released.
05:24Now, while the beach is closed until further notice, nearby pathways, the playground and picnic areas remain open.
05:30The NCC says the beach will reopen as soon as water conditions allow.
05:34Patricia?
05:35I have paddleboarded from there a couple of times. Always a busy place, so hopefully they get that rectified soon.
05:40Thanks for this, Kimberly.
05:41CTP's Kimberly Fowler live for us tonight.
05:44Well, a bold move from one NHL team today designed to stir up a bit of a hockey fight between cities.
05:50The Buffalo Sabres marked NHL's scheduled release day by assigning each of their opposing teams a specific sauce flavor for the chicken wings for which Buffalo is famous.
06:01But for the Senators, no sauce at all.
06:04Just a plain old wing.
06:06A pretty good jab at Ottawa, but it is not flying with residents here.
06:11Hungry for what people think.
06:13CTP's Tyler Fleming cooked up some off-season sizzle in this one, Tyler.
06:16It's a saucy jab, Patricia.
06:20Yes.
06:21But, you know, folks I spoke with today obviously disagree, saying it's nothing more than sour grapes.
06:29Most will call the past season of the Ottawa Senators hot, hot, hot.
06:33Big care of it, it's Marhagee!
06:35But the Buffalo Sabres serving up their thoughts on NHL teams as chicken wing sauces.
06:40That one tastes like rat.
06:43Damn fine, rat.
06:46Montreal, steamy in a hot dog bun.
06:49Toronto, choking hazard.
06:51And coming up with this half-baked remark for the Sens, plain.
06:56Barbecue?
06:57Plain.
06:58No sauce.
06:59No sauce?
07:00So what am I supposed to say to that?
07:02Not sure, but Ottowans feel it's a bit of a double burn.
07:05Ottawa's got a little bit of a reputation for being a little bland, a little plain, maybe sometimes untrue.
07:10There's nothing plain about Ottawa.
07:12I'm tired of that saying.
07:13And the Sens, well, their nacho average team.
07:17There you go.
07:19At Lieutenant's Pump on half-price wing day, Sens fans Alan and Chantel cooked up more appropriate flavours.
07:25We'd have to call it, this is our year.
07:29We're eating lemon pepper.
07:30There's zingers.
07:32Like the Sens and its fans who Captain Brady Kachuck notes.
07:36They know how important they are.
07:37They know how much juice they give us.
07:39Juice for sizzling those wins.
07:41I feel sorry for Buffalo.
07:43But sorry sauce doesn't cut it.
07:45How about these saucy sleighs for the savers?
07:48Cupless heat, all burn, no reward.
07:50Or regret ranch pairs well with missed playoff chances.
07:55And how about mild success?
07:57It's just there.
08:01Spartacat had some heat-packed ideas on it too.
08:05Whatever the flavour.
08:06Barbecue would be the sauce.
08:08There's nothing plain about the Sens.
08:10Because this is the flavour we want and we're going to win next year.
08:14Now the Sabres served up plenty of plates on their rivals for the upcoming season.
08:19Check out our website for all of them, ctvottawa.ca.
08:23And the Sens, as for the Sens rather, their first game is October 9th against Tampa Bay.
08:28They play Buffalo October 15th and let's hope they douse them in barbecue sauce.
08:34It's going to go from Turkey, the home opener, is on Thanksgiving Day against Nashville to more chicken wing talk.
08:42Oh, look, we just happen to have some chicken wings.
08:44Amazing.
08:45I would say that this is incredibly bold of the Buffalo Sabres.
08:48As you outlined, they have not made the playoffs for a bunch of years.
08:51To do that, they will need a wing and a prayer.
08:54We're happy to provide both.
08:57Let's try plain wings.
08:58No, habanero heat.
09:00Oh, you're going for the heat.
09:01I'm living on the edge.
09:02I'm trying plain.
09:02Yeah.
09:03I don't mind that designation at all.
09:05A little mild sauce on the side.
09:07Good job, Buffalo.
09:08It's going to be fun this year.
09:09Still ahead, Kale at 3 a.m.
09:15The Bywood Market is getting a 24-hour health food convenience store.
09:19Kale Mart does offer a few things besides kale.
09:22We'll give you a preview coming up.
09:26And let me just chew up that little bit of chicken there.
09:29Here's a live look through our Centennial Glass Skycam.
09:32It's a good night to be out on patio eating wings or anything else.
09:3533 degrees out there right now.
09:38I think Jackie was observing at 5 o'clock that if you're going to be at the Lebanese Festival on a night like this,
09:43you want to stand away from the grill.
09:45Is that your best advice, Jackie?
09:49I mean, there's a little bit of cloud cover right now, Patricia.
09:52So, sure, I'll stand by the grill as long as I can get more sandwiches as well as platters
09:56because I did get a chance to taste a little bit ahead of tonight's festivity.
10:01So, the opening ceremony is taking us off officially at 7 o'clock tonight.
10:05And if you're coming down, this is what you need to know about the weather.
10:08The heat warning still in effect right now.
10:11And it is expected to last well into Thursday.
10:14Humanex level still between 35 and 40.
10:17The air quality statement has lifted here in Ottawa and eastern Ontario.
10:21But it is still in southern Ontario, stretching all the way to Belleville.
10:25Right now, temperatures across the region feeling closer to 40.
10:29And, yes, it is hot.
10:30We are trying to stay as hydrated as possible.
10:33But this evening, when the sun sets, it's going to be mainly cloudy conditions.
10:37Overnight lows at 21 degrees before tomorrow.
10:41We're in for a little bit of cooler conditions, 29 degrees.
10:44But keep in mind, by the afternoon, there is a risk of some thunderstorms.
10:48So, if you are heading out to Blues Fest, we're going to keep a close eye on this for you.
10:51We'll have more details on your long-term forecast, as well as more from here at the Ottawa Lebanese Festival,
10:57celebrating 35 years in just a bit.
10:59Patricia.
11:00Thank you, Jackie.
11:02Ottawa police are asking for the public's help, identifying a man accused of sexually assaulting a woman
11:06on an OC Transpo bus last month.
11:09Police say the incident happened on a Route 15 bus going to Blair Station around 4.30 in the afternoon on June 9th.
11:15The suspect is described as a man between 40 and 50 years old with a salt-and-pepper beard.
11:21He was wearing a New York Yankees ball cap, headphones, and a Pittsburgh Steelers jacket.
11:27A 46-year-old driver is dead after a head-on crash in North Stormont yesterday.
11:31A tractor-trailer and pickup truck collided on County Road 43 between McMillan Road and St. Luke's Road around 4.20 in the afternoon.
11:39Police say despite life-saving efforts from bystanders and paramedics, the driver of the pickup truck died.
11:45A 60-year-old man is facing charges after police seized $4.4 million worth of contraband tobacco from the inside of a transport truck.
11:54Officers were called about a truck speeding in the eastbound lanes of Highway 401 near Shannonville Road yesterday morning.
12:01When officers pulled the vehicle over, they inspected the truck and found more than 17,000 kilos of contraband tobacco.
12:09E-scooters and e-bikes are a popular mode of transportation in the summer months,
12:13but many people are raising safety concerns, saying scooters are whizzing by them on the city's multi-use pathways, going way too fast.
12:21And while the rules are a little easier to enforce for the e-scooter rentals,
12:24some are calling for more clear rules and regulations for the private ones.
12:29Here's CTV's Dave Sharpe now.
12:30Joan Grant is a former public health nurse and an avid cyclist.
12:34She says what's happening on multi-use pathways is putting people at risk.
12:37It's an accident waiting to happen.
12:39Grant says electric scooters and e-bikes are just too fast for certain pathways.
12:43People that are using this now as a racetrack, we need to rethink how we're doing our paths and who's on it
12:49and make sure that people know the rules of the road and they don't.
12:52A new report by CAA and the Traffic Injury Research Foundation finds the rules around e-bikes and e-scooters are not consistent across the country.
13:00What that means is that there's different rules and bylaws and regulations and people really need to be familiar with them.
13:06That means where can you drive them, what sort of traffic rules should you be following, do you need a helmet, that sort of thing.
13:15In Ottawa, you can't ride e-scooters on the sidewalk or NCC pathways and the speed limit is capped at 20 kilometres an hour.
13:22But officials say the regulations are easier to enforce for rental scooters than privately owned devices.
13:27It's really challenging for the private owners of scooters.
13:31We see them all the time, racing up and down, going well above what we govern ours at, at 20 kilometres an hour.
13:37And certainly, I think the province should look into this.
13:40I know that they're looking into it after speaking to the Minister of Transportation.
13:43And I feel this is something that will become more of an issue.
13:47Ottawa Councillor Tim Tierney says he's hearing from residents who want stricter province-wide regulations for all e-scooters and e-bikes,
13:54which is something those using the city's multi-use pathways support.
13:58If they go more than 20, I wouldn't want them there.
14:01No, I definitely don't think anything should be over 20 on this.
14:05When it comes to e-scooter whizzing past you or one of those unicycle things, they don't need to be on the pathway.
14:13I think it's just too much.
14:14Dave Charbonneau, CTV News.
14:16We have extended coverage of the calls for more regulations for e-scooters and e-bikes.
14:21There are more stories online at ctvnewsottawa.ca.
14:25Well, the Prime Minister is delivering a message on behalf of Canada's steel industry, and it's one of protection.
14:31According to Mark Carney, Canada needs to be its own best customer if we want to protect the sector in the face of U.S. tariffs.
14:38CTV's Stefan Keyes joins us now with more on this stuff.
14:40Patricia, the trade war rages on where every industry seems to have its own battle, and right now, Canada is arming itself with protectionism.
14:50The Prime Minister was in Hamilton this morning to make the announcement, and he is introducing new measures to support the steel sector and avoid so-called steel dumping.
14:59That's a term to reference how foreign companies undercut the domestic price by dumping their products into our country.
15:06Here's some of what Carney had to say.
15:08Over time, we've become too dependent on the United States as our biggest customer, with more than 90% of our steel exports going south of the border.
15:19So moving forward, we must diversify our trade relationships.
15:25And above all, we must rely more on Canadian steel for Canadian projects.
15:32And those shifts start today.
15:35So by the end of the month, the Fed's plan to tighten the quota for steel coming from countries without a free trade agreement like China and Turkey to half of 2024 levels.
15:47Anything beyond that will face a tariff of 50%.
15:50The government says foreign steel has flooded the Canadian market ever since the U.S. imposed its own tariffs on the global steel industry back in March.
15:59So in order to keep it out, Canada will launch tariffs of its own.
16:04Further to that, any companies competing to get a federal contract on projects that would require this strong, durable material would have to use Canadian steel to even be considered.
16:14Now, when asked about how trade negotiations are going with the U.S., the Prime Minister wasn't quite willing to answer Patricia, implying it would be a bad move while the talks continue.
16:25CTV's Stefan Keyes reporting live for us tonight. Thank you.
16:28Stay with CTV News for continuing coverage of the ongoing trade war and the impact on Canadian industries.

16:40Natural breads with no preservatives, with no additives, no chemicals in the products.
16:48Need a protein fix at 3 a.m.? You can add it to your smoothie at a new 24-hour healthy convenience store set to open in the market.
16:55But what will the appetite be for all-night snacks that are good for you?
16:59Jackie.
17:00Thanks so much, Patricia. We are hanging out with Gadahir. Her crew is ready for the opening day of the Ottawa Lebanese Festival.
17:09What is it about this year that you are excited about?
17:12Oh, this year is our 35th anniversary. Can you believe that?
17:18And who are these ladies behind you? What are they making?
17:19All these ladies are volunteers. They make the best bread ever. The bread is very specific, very special.
17:27It takes a lot of hands to make it, and it's the best thing ever. Come and try it.
17:32Thank you so much. All right. Thank you, ladies.
17:34Let's get a live look through our Centennial Glass Skycam, where it is 30 degrees, or 33 degrees, but with the humidity feeling closer to 38.
17:45It is hot out there, but make sure you are keeping warm, and maybe you can see the Ottawa River there as well.
17:51Take a little dip to cool up.
17:53Take a little dip to cool up.
18:23in the area next week, but it's not your average corner store. It will offer natural, organic, and local products.
18:29CTV's Peter Sperling has the details.
18:33Putting the finishing touches on a new business in the Byward Market.
18:37That's amazing.
18:37Jayden Patey lives nearby and will soon have access to a 24-hour convenience store with a twist.
18:43It's nice to have healthy options in the market, especially, I'm actually in the food industry, so, you know, it can get a little tiring coming home from a long shift.
18:50Do you want to grab something easy? So, to grab something easy that's healthy is really awesome.
18:54Montreal-based Kale Mart 24 offers all natural and local products.
18:58We offer all the classic categories of a convenience store, so going from, you know, alcohol, chips, chocolate, gums, all that.
19:07But it's just, it's natural brands with no preservatives, with no additives, no chemicals in the products.
19:15Social media for existing Quebec locations shows a variety of options. Bowls, salads, smoothies, wraps, and sandwiches.
19:22We don't deal with Pepsi, Coke, or Nestle. We deal with really, like, local suppliers that are making grace products 100% natural with no additives.
19:31Residents, visitors are curious and excited.
19:34That's so good, actually, because, like, when you're working in the mall and you're working late, you're coming home, and you need something to drink, all your options are pop.
19:43So, I'm actually excited about that. Maybe some kale chips, I don't know, a kale smoothie, perhaps.
19:49Well, it's about time to get something like that in, really.
19:52That's crazy. Great.
19:54The Byward Market area has been without a 24-hour establishment since the closure of the Rideau Street McDonald's.
20:00I think it shows that businesses are opening in the Byward Market.
20:04I think what it shows is it speaks to, perhaps, a changing demographic in the city.
20:09It speaks to life in a dense downtown.
20:12Kale Mart 24 is set to open on William Street next Wednesday, with a location in Gatineau also set to open next week.
20:19Is it somewhere you'd go?
20:20Oh, 100%, yeah.
20:21Peter Sperling, CTV News.
20:23Ottawa residents sweltering through one of the hottest days of this heat wave today.
20:28Temperatures reaching 34 degrees this afternoon, with the humidity felt more like 41.
20:34The heat warning is expected to continue for one more day before things start cooling down on Friday.
20:42Looks beautiful out there.
20:43As we get a full check on the forecast and we head to the Lebanese Festival.
20:47Just open today, 35 years, Jackie, and a hot night for their opener.
20:53It was a hot night for the opener, but I will take it, Patricia, because I think last year we were in the middle of a crazy downpour.
21:00So, I'll take the dry conditions and the heat, just look for some shade and get a cooling, refreshing drink as well.
21:06Taking a look at night's conditions if you are just heading out for the festival, or even for a beautiful night as well.
21:12Today is expected to be the hottest day of the week.
21:15I mean, you said it yourself, Patricia, feeling more like 41, and it's sunny and hazy right now.
21:21The humidity is sticking around for at least one more day.
21:25So, tomorrow, the daytime high, yes, 29 degrees, but it will feel closer to 38.
21:31And then after the heavy rainfall moves in through the region, Friday, we are going to get cooler temperatures, 24 degrees, feeling closer to 25, 27, so more comfortable.
21:42And even Saturday, a mix of sun and cloud, and we are experiencing temperatures that will feel closer to 26 and 29.
21:49Meantime, though, tonight's lows across the region.
21:51Most of the area sticking just above the 20-degree mark for our overnight lows.
21:55So, still not cooling down until tomorrow night.
21:59Tomorrow's daytime highs, still going to feel a bit muggy out, 38 the daytime high, or 29 the daytime high, but with the humidity, 38 is what it's going to feel like.
22:08And very similar across the region, feeling closer to the mid-30s.
22:12So, we mentioned the system that is moving through the Great Lakes.
22:16The heaviest part of it is going to come in the afternoon.
22:19So, first hitting the valleys around 1, 2 o'clock, and then early evening, it will hit around Ottawa.
22:25So, we're keeping a close eye on this, especially for people who are heading out to Blues Fest tomorrow night, because it could be a wet one.
22:30It is going to clear by the time Sean Paul comes out for the late evening 9.30 concert.
22:35And then Friday, we are in for some clear conditions.
22:38Now, across the country, who else is experiencing this heat wave?
22:42Well, Atlantic Canada, temperatures sitting in the high 20s.
22:45You can see that warm air really pushing through from the states.
22:49So, Toronto also sitting at 31.
22:51Windsor sitting at 25 degrees.
22:53But you can see that out west, much of the prairies is sitting with cooler conditions.
22:58Temperatures are sitting around 19 degrees.
23:01So, we will be getting temperatures closer to our seasonal in the next couple of days.
23:06So, it will be a good weekend coming up as well.
23:08Now, today's weather brought to you by Davidson Hearing Aid Centers, celebrating over 80 years in a family business.
23:14And when I mentioned that cool air coming in, take a look at the overnight lows from Thursday into Friday.
23:1912 degrees.
23:21And then we're daytime high, about mid-20s.
23:23And then as we get into Saturday and Sunday, we are expecting some pretty fair conditions with a mix of sun and cloud.
23:29But we are trending towards seasonal temperatures where it will be more, about 25, 26 degrees.
23:35So, maybe it's too hot to come out to the Ottawa Lebanese Festival tonight.
23:39But you still have the next five days to check it out.
23:41It's going to be free if you come before 5 p.m.
23:44And then afterwards, it's about $3.
23:46And, again, I always like to say, if you are coming out tonight, stay cool and stay hydrated.
23:50Maybe a little bit of lemonade as well.
23:52We'll take it back to you.
23:53We are going to hear from the organizers here from the Ottawa Lebanese Festival.
23:57And, of course, they are celebrating 35 years in this wonderful, wonderful community.
24:02Very nice.
24:02A little lemonade to wash down the hummus and all the good stuff that's there.
24:05Jackie, thank you.
24:06We'll talk in a bit.
24:08And coming up on this show, we'll share how many people are snitching on their neighbors in Gatineau for having out-of-province license plates.
24:17Tonight, the urgent recordings from air traffic controllers in B.C.
24:19We do have an aircraft that is in the vicinity of the airport.
24:26Why the suspect stole a plane and why U.S. fighter jets scramble to Vancouver, later on CTV National News.

25:23CTV's Rachel Aiello reports.
25:26First Nations leaders set expectations today for tomorrow's big gathering in Gatineau.
25:32This is not consultation.
25:34This is a first meeting of many.
25:37This discussion will be led by us.
25:39The Prime Minister organized the meeting to discuss the implementation of Bill C-5 after Indigenous stakeholders felt their rights were not respected in the rush to pass it through Parliament.
25:51They now want Carney to listen.
25:54We're going to give him the benefit of the doubt that he produces tomorrow.
25:58I'm a bit more cynical.
26:01I do agree.
26:02I mean, just look at the process.
26:04Nine Ontario First Nations, though, aren't waiting.
26:07Launching a legal challenge to the federal law and a similar provincial plan to try and prevent both governments from using their new powers to sidestep existing protections.
26:17These bills from Ontario and Canada show that the Crown has no interest in reconciliation.
26:26Today, Carney was asked,
26:28Have your belated consultations jeopardized the goal of getting new projects built?
26:33Well, first, no.
26:36He went on to say tomorrow's talks are about engaging on how to work together in the future.
26:42What are the priorities?
26:43The Ontario government is also consulting First Nations this summer, with Premier Doug Ford's office promising to build consensus around projects that support prosperity.
26:58Carney has additional plans to have conversations with Inuit and Métis leaders in the coming weeks.
27:05Rachel Aiello, CTV News, Gatineau.
27:13And tonight's big picture, an unlikely surfer was spotted catching some waves in New Zealand.
27:21Yeah, boy.
27:24Only one out.
27:25The seal making the most of a swell near a beach.
27:28The man who shot the video says he thought this was a person at first bobbing in and out of the waves towards the shoreline.
27:34Then he realized it was indeed a seal living its best life.
27:39Well, now some other stories you need to know right now.
27:42It appears people in Gatineau are snitching on their neighbors who have out-of-the-province license plates.
27:48CTV's Steph Ann Keyes joins us now with the details on this and other stories.
27:51Steph?
27:52Patricia, earlier this year, Gatineau police launched an operation targeting Quebec drivers who hadn't switched their license plates.
27:59And tonight, we're learning just how many people were caught.
28:01Since February, the city has received more than 1,800 tips from the public about drivers living in the province for more than three months with a non-Quebec plate.
28:11Those tips resulted in police issuing 30 tickets.
28:14Another 50 cases are under investigation still.
28:18The fine for having an out-of-province plate is $200.
28:21The trend of Canadians avoiding travel to the U.S. appears to be continuing into the summer months.
28:28New data shows there were 147,000 trips into the United States at Eastern Ontario border crossings in June.
28:36That's down from 173,000 in the same month last year.
28:40The second half of Blues Fest kicks off tonight at LeBreton Flats after a two-day break.
28:57Def Leppard will be the headliner on the main stage.
29:00Cardinal Oficial and Sean Paul will be performing tomorrow night.
29:04And Green Day headlines on Friday.
29:06Blues Fest continues until Sunday night.
29:10The Ottawa Senators will play 41 home games this season with their home opener kicking things off on October 13th against the Nashville Predators.
29:21The Ottawa Senators have released their full schedule for the upcoming regular season.
29:25They put this video out on social media saying it's a dive into Sparty's algorithm to find the schedule.
29:32The team will open its season on October 9th at Tampa Bay with a home opener, as you heard there, on October 13th against Nashville.
29:40Go Sens, go!
29:42Go Sens, go!
29:44Well, speaking of Sparty, he and members of the Ottawa Senators Foundation were among those at the Tanger Outlet's Tim Horton's location for Tim Horton's Camp Day.
29:54Sparty and Sens alumnus Chris Neal were there serving up drinks and treats for the customers.
29:59100% of proceeds from hot and iced coffee as well as bracelet sales today go to Tim Horton's Foundation Camps.
30:07And on a steamy day like today, one would think many iced beverages were sold, Patricia.
30:12I'm dreaming of a Tim Horton's frozen lemonade myself.
30:14Yeah, it's so good, isn't it?
30:15It's so delicious.
30:16All the sugar you need.
30:17That's right.
30:17I still stick with the steep tea today and make sure that donation, yeah.
30:21I'm keeping it cold and sweet.
30:23I love that.
30:24That's what Jackie's trying to do out there at the festival.
30:26Oh, yeah.
30:27She had the lemonade going there.
30:29You've got to find your way to absolutely enjoy it because it is always a blast every year.
30:33I think we were there together on opening evening last night, Jackie, and we had so much fun.
30:37We did.
30:40You were there.
30:41Stefan was there.
30:42It was a great night.
30:43And the difference between last year and this year is that there was a downpour.
30:47So I'm going to take this humidity.
30:48I'm going to take the sunshine as long as there's no rain in sight.
30:52I want to bring in the Lebanese festival chair, George Hanna.
30:56You're busy?
30:56I'm busy looking at this amazing chicken tawut platter with the tabouli and hummus and the chicken and rice.
31:04I don't know.
31:05I'm just proud that you haven't eaten it while we were waiting.
31:07I close it and I open it.
31:09I close it and I open it.
31:10The thing just looks so delicious.
31:12That's why you all need to come down here.
31:14Five days of the festival.
31:16How are you feeling about the 35th anniversary?
31:18Feeling great.
31:19I mean, this year is bigger and better than all the years.
31:24All the volunteers, again, have come together.
31:26We've managed to pull this off in two days.
31:29We put this together in two days.
31:31And I couldn't be more proud and more happier than over 400 volunteers that actually help me do this every year.
31:36This is a five-day event starting off tonight.
31:39What should people know when they are coming down here?
31:42How much do you have to pay?
31:43Where should I park?
31:45How should I get down here?
31:46So, the entrance is $3 a day, every day from Wednesday to Sunday.
31:54Parking is available all around Ridgewood.
31:57So, we've got parking at Canada Post and Brookfields.
32:00That is free.
32:01And you can just take the shuttle to visit us here at the festival.
32:04And there's also paid parking.
32:06We've got some paid parking on Riverside.
32:08We've got some paid parking in front here on the festival grounds.
32:11But the best thing is take public transit.
32:14You get on the O-Train or get on OC Transpo.
32:18O-Train, you get dropped off at Mooneys Bay.
32:20Get on the festival shuttle and then come onto the grounds.
32:23All right, my final question to you is just lots of musical acts really celebrating Middle
32:28Eastern tradition and culture.
32:30What does that mean to you to bring it in every year and showcase the best of Lebanese culture?
32:36Again, it makes me very proud.
32:38I love it.
32:39It's great.
32:40We've got some excellent entertainers coming in from Lebanon this year.
32:42So, it's going to be a great time at the Ottawa Lebanese Festival.
32:44George, thank you so much.
32:46Thank you.
32:46You're going to share this with us, right?
32:48No, I'm not actually.
32:48All right, George, I'm going to send you off.
32:50We're going to try to get our own food for today.
32:52I appreciate it.
32:53Thank you so much.
32:54Patricia, Stefan, we're going to send it back to you.
32:57Thanks, Jackie.
32:58Good luck getting that food.
32:59It's actually a very natural process of fermentation, basically.
33:04Well, coming up, it's watermelon season, but a warning about this popular summer fruit.
33:09They can explode those details after the break.
33:12A watermelon is a popular summer fruit, particularly during a heat wave, but you do have to be careful during the hot summer months.
33:27Watermelons can actually explode.
33:29CTV's Matt Gilmore explains.
33:30It popped like a balloon.
33:33Water went everywhere.
33:34You may have seen videos like this circulating online.
33:38Can anybody have to tell us what the hell is going on with our watermelon?
33:42Of watermelons oozing foam, the insides turned to mush.
33:46One CTV viewer, who wished to remain anonymous because of his work, sent us these pictures of a watermelon he bought earlier this month
33:54that exploded on his kitchen counter hours after he brought it home from the store.
33:59It's actually a very natural process of fermentation, basically.
34:03Food industry expert Sylvain Charlebois says it's actually not uncommon for watermelons to explode during extreme heat.
34:11Sugar gets converted into gas inside the watermelon when it gets really, really hot, especially in the summer.
34:19And because the peel is thick and airtight, pressure can quickly build.
34:24You can easily make a natural bomb out of it because it's so tight.
34:29And the gas will stay inside.
34:31Charlebois says it's a good idea to check watermelons for bumps or dents before buying them.
34:37Signs the watermelon has already started to ferment, usually because of a mistake during transportation.
34:44Sometimes there's a breach in the cold chain, which could actually trigger the process of fermentation prematurely.
34:51So by the time the product gets to the store, it's already too late.
34:56It's most likely the reason this watermelon exploded shortly after it was brought home.
35:01Charlebois says you should never eat a watermelon that started to ferment and recommends taking it back to the store for a refund.
35:09Matt Gilmore, CTV News.
35:11Well, returning now to one of our top stories, Canada plans to help prop up the steel industry by restricting tariff-free imports.
35:20BNN Bloomberg's Andrew Bell has the details.
35:23Hello there.
35:24Canada intends to cut the amount of foreign steel that importers can bring in tariff-free.
35:30It's part of an attempt to support the domestic steel industry, which has been hit by levies imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump.
35:39The Prime Minister, Mr. Carney, said Ottawa will tighten the zero-tariff quota for steel products from countries without a free trade deal to 50% of last year's volumes.
35:52Above that, a 50% levy will apply.
35:54Meanwhile, as trade talks with Washington continue, Bank of Nova Scotia economist Derek Holt said Ottawa should consider excluding U.S. companies from major infrastructure and defense projects as part of its response to Trump's trade war.
36:12On the markets, the Canadian dollar changed hands at 73.07 U.S. cents, up around one-fifth of a cent.
36:21West Texas Intermediate Crude was at $65.19, down 18 cents.
36:28Our fix on Western Canadian Select has it at $54.14, down 88 cents.
36:38And the TSX Composite ended at 27,152.97, up just under 99 points.
36:47That's the latest in business.
36:49I'm Andrew Bell of BNN Bloomberg.
36:52Like, I was looked at and said, oh, there's nothing wrong with you.
36:57Well, coming up, raising awareness about a disease which impacts hundreds of thousands of Canadians but is often misdiagnosed.
37:04Well, Sjogren's disease affects hundreds of thousands of Canadians.
37:21The majority are women, but as CTV's health reporter Pauline Chan tells us, a lack of awareness could mean there are many more who are undiagnosed.
37:28A decade ago, Leanne Elnicki had a really slow recovery after a challenging bike race.
37:35Unfortunately, I was kind of gaslit, you know, like I was looked at and said, oh, there's nothing wrong with you.
37:42It's not until she had dental problems years later that she was diagnosed with Sjogren's disease.
37:48About 1% of the population has Sjogren's disease.
37:51So in Canada, that's about 400,000 people.
37:54It is an autoimmune disease, but we don't know what triggers it.
37:57And it has a multitude of possible symptoms.
38:00It starts off with the four hallmark symptoms of dry eyes, dry mouth, joint pain and excessive fatigue.
38:07But Dr. Leslie Lange says patients, who are mainly postmenopausal women, are often dismissed, leading to years of suffering before they are correctly diagnosed.
38:17Elnicki says dry mouth sounds minor to some people.
38:20When you're not producing the same amount of saliva, your teeth aren't as protected against bacteria.
38:28So unfortunately, I'm 52 years old and I'm looking at getting dentures now because I've lost all of my molars.
38:36And it's embarrassing. It's really, it makes you self-conscious.
38:41As well as there are just foods that you can't enjoy anymore.
38:44A lot of times when you're missing teeth, the assumptions that people jump to are incredible.
38:49Like I've outright been accused of being a drug user.
38:53And there's no treatment, just management of symptoms.
38:56There are medications that people can take to help with joint and body pain.
39:03There are medications that people can take to help with dry eyes, dry mouth, etc.
39:09So in some cases, it means going to multiple specialists.
39:14And there are serious long-term implications.
39:16It affects the lungs. It affects the heart.
39:19There are cardiac issues, obviously, with dry mouth.
39:23There are trouble with swallowing food.
39:26So there are gastrointestinal features, liver features.
39:30And there's a greater chance of getting lymphoma and cancers.
39:34Elnicki says people experiencing symptoms need to push for a proper diagnosis
39:38because awareness of Sjogren's disease is low even in the medical community.
39:44Pauline Chan, CTV News.
39:49Well, coming up, beating the heat in Arnprior.
39:52Firefighters lending a hand to help keep kids cool during the heat wave.
39:57Jackie.
40:00Thanks so much, Patricia.
40:01The way we're keeping cool is by going on the midway.
40:05Yes, there's a midway at the Ottawa Lebanese Festival.
40:07I've got a group of friends here.
40:09What have you seen so far?
40:11We've seen the Ferris wheel.
40:13My favorite one was the swings because they were, like, really hot.
40:17And we also went down the scissor one.
40:19All right, and you guys, first time at the festival?
40:21This one, I think I've been coming here for a couple of years so far.
40:25But this is my first time, yeah.
40:27All right, well, you guys have a great time.
40:28And, hey, check out that swings that Angelina was talking about as well.
40:32For now, here's a live look.
40:34There are centennial glass sky cam showcasing Kaweki Point.
40:38The sun's shining nice and bright.
40:41Current temperature, we are sitting at 33 degrees.
40:45The National Capital Region is jam-packed with incredible experiences you don't want to miss.

41:29E-Talk, The Big Bang Theory, MasterChef, Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service, and Battle of the Generations.
41:36Here's a recap of the top stories we are following right now.
41:39A transit rider should not have to pay twice for one trip when they're going from point A to point B.
41:44An Ottawa councillor is calling on O.C. Transport to extend the 90-minute transfer window,
41:49saying his constituents are being forced to pay the fare twice because trips are taking too long.
41:55There's different rules and bylaws and regulations, and people really need to be familiar with them.
42:01A push to strengthen rules and regulations for e-scooters and e-bikes across the province
42:05to prevent speeding and dangerous operation.
42:08We can't call it plane. We'd have to call it, this is our year.
42:14Sure it is. Forget plane. Ottawa Senators fans coming to this city's defence
42:19after the Buffalo Sabres assigned the capital a less-than-exciting chicken wing flavour
42:25in a pretty good publicity play as they're releasing their NHL schedule.
42:31We want to take a final look at the weather forecast.
42:34Certainly not plane in Ottawa. It is hot, it is spicy,
42:37and Jackie is out at the Ottawa Lebanese Festival for us tonight. Jackie.
42:40I am Patricia. We're going to cap things off by hanging out at the midway, of course,
42:47before the festivities really get underway at 7 o'clock.
42:50Tomorrow's temperature is going to be very similar to today's.
42:53A little bit of cloudiness, though, but still dry.
42:5624 to start the day. It's going to feel like 33,
42:59so the humidity is sticking around well into the evening.
43:02But tomorrow, we are expecting a risk of some thunderstorms in the afternoon.
43:06We're keeping a very close eye on this, so we will be updating as frequently as we can.
43:11Daytime high, 21 degrees, and then things are really going to cool off.
43:14The heat warning is going to finally be lifted.
43:16We're going to get some reprieve as we go Friday into Saturday and into Sunday
43:20with temperatures averaging the mid-20s.
43:23Now, that's it from us here from the Ottawa Lebanese Festival.
43:27This is day one, and we've had some food, we've had some drinks,
43:31and now, of course, we need to take a ride and a spin on the Ferris wheel.
43:35Tony, hit it.
43:37Stephane, Patricia, or Kimberly and Patricia, apologies.
43:42I'm going to take it back to you guys in studio
43:44as we enjoy day one of the Ottawa Lebanese Festival.
43:48Goodbye.
43:48Bye.
43:50Yesterday on the water in a boat.
43:54Today in the sky.
43:55Looks like a lot of fun.
43:59Absolutely.
44:00I think I could do that ride.
44:01Yeah, that one seems tame.
44:02Yeah, it doesn't go upside down.
44:05Kimberly Fowler is here filling in for Stephane Keyes tonight,
44:08and what is our team working on?
44:09Well, it's going to be another hot night in the city,
44:11and it's also going to be hot where Blues Fest,
44:13the second half of the music festival.
44:15Back on that LeBreton Flats,
44:17Def Leppard is the headliner on the main stage.
44:19Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine and Audio Slave
44:22is their opening act.
44:24Again, that's on the main stage.
44:26Another big crowd is expected over at LeBreton Flats tonight.
44:30And you can get the news anytime, anywhere at ctvnewsottawa.ca.
44:33Join me tonight for CTV News at 1130.
44:36All right, good stuff.
44:36Thank you.
44:37And finally for us tonight,
44:38firefighters in Narnpryor love this,
44:40getting creative to help kids beat the heat.
44:42So crews are setting up their firetruck this morning outside A.J. Charbonneau Elementary School,
44:50helping this group of kiddos right here cool off under the water from the ladder hose.
44:55What a fantastic way to have fun.
44:57We're all the moms.
44:58Yeah, well, they're somewhere, tell me.
45:02Taking in the view, no doubt.
45:05Yeah, wanting to stay cool as the heat wave continues.
45:07You may see something similar, I would think, at Def Leppard tonight.
45:10That guy with the hose, the security guy who's always at the front of the crowd.
45:13People are going to be clamoring for a little bit of a...
45:15Especially drink, pour some sugar on me, that's for sure.
45:18Pour some sugar and a little water, please, at the same time.
45:21Have a good night, everyone.
45:22We'll see you here tomorrow.
