There's no questioning the impact of suicide on friends and family, and when the person involved is a youth, the loss is all the more devastating. Maybe less obvious, though, is the wider fallout -- what the loss of a classmate or a friend-of-a-friend can mean for a teen's own mental state.

According to a new study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, young people who lose a schoolmate to suicide are up to five times more likely to consider or attempt it themselves. Dr. Ian Colman is the senior author of the report, and he joined us with the details.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper broke his silence on the senate expense claims scandal today. He addressed the Conservative caucus in a live media event before he left for Peru.
Harper stressed his disappointment with the conduct of his own office --  and he added he will take further steps in ensure accountability in the senate. Caucus members applauded at the end of the Prime Minister's address...While reporters hollered out questions. For more on this story we were joined by Elizabeth Thompson, senior writer for iPolitics.ca.

Gaby Warren is a self-described "jazz fanatic," one who has loved this music for decades and supports the Ottawa scene. Now, at the age of 76, he has decided to try and make this music himself. On the eve of his CD release party, Gaby joined us in studio.

This week, we heard about the National Capital Commission's recommendation that the Kettle Island corridor be used for a future interprovincial bridge. The bridge is needed, some studies say, to remove truck traffic from the King Edward Ave route. Residents near the Kettle Island area are against the idea of a bridge, while those near King Edward support it. And where does the city stand on the issue? Mayor Jim Watson joined us to explain.
