Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Fri. February 21st, 2025

U.S. President Donald Trump is once again expanding the scope of tariffs that will be implemented against Canada and other countries. On Thursday, he was approached by reporters to elaborate about a proposed tariff on the Auto industry, and he also explained what tariffs on semiconductors and pharmaceuticals might look like. Is our country’s current approach to Trump the right one to take, and how could it impact our short-term and long-term realities? Erin O’Toole, a former Conservative MP and the current President of Adit North America, delivers his two cents. Switching gears back to last night’s match at the 4 Nations Faceoff, an OT winner by Connor McDavid secured another golden moment for Team Canada over the Americans. Did the final score mean so much more this time around? Hockey historian Liam Maguire pays us a visit in Hour 2.
