Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Mon. March 3rd, 2025

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock. No, we’re not talking about the social media app. We are talking about the precious seconds that are ticking away at Parliament Hill, as Canada tries to avoid Trump’s tariffs for a second time. By the looks of it, our best efforts will fall on deaf ears, and the U.S. President will target Canada and Mexico as planned tomorrow morning. Kristy Cameron delivers the latest developments as they become available. Meantime, Prime Minister Trudeau is meeting with King Charles today. To this point, the British Monarchy hasn’t come to Canada’s defense in this tariff dispute, and the King of England is technically Canada’s Head of State. Should he publicly defend our country’s sovereignty? We dig deeper with Dickie Arbiter, a former Press Secretary to Queen Elizabeth and present-day Royal commentator.
