Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. January 16th, 2025

We are still waiting for a former Bank of Canada Governor to launch his leadership campaign, as the Liberal Party of Canada looks for a new voice. Once we hear Mark Carney speak, we will take you live. Until then, do we have an idea of what his priorities are going to be? What kind of a leader does he need to be? And when it comes to this leadership race in general, is it destined to be a two-way battle? Kristy Cameron picks the brains of Fred DeLorey from NorthStar Public Affairs and former MP Martha Hall-Findlay. Fred helped run Erin O’Toole’s Conservative leadership bid in 2020, while Martha ran for the Liberal leadership herself in 2013. Plus, a city councillor in Ottawa’s East End is claiming that her ward has been shortchanged on development charge road funding. In Hour 2, we hear from Catherine Kitts, the community voice for Orleans South-Navan.
