Episode Details

Good News Tuesday lands on a week that opened with a 3.9 earthquake near Ottawa and somehow still found four stories worth stopping for. A 90-year-old Ottawa woman celebrated her birthday with a CrossFit workout. Not a walk. Not a party. CrossFit.

What does it feel like to watch someone make a choice that most people half her age would talk themselves out of before breakfast? Meanwhile in Vancouver, a newlywed couple figured out how to eat on $160 a month, not because it is easy, but because the cost of food left them no other option and they decided to own it.

Somewhere in there, a dad turned his toddler's brain activity into music. That one is harder to explain and much better to just hear.
