Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Wed. March 5th, 2025

BREAKING: The big 3 automakers have been granted a one-month exemption from U.S. trade tariffs. Many Canadians - angry about the Trump tariffs -  are fighting back; canceling U.S. vacations, buying Canadian products (when available), boycotting American goods. Some officials are even removing the Stars & Stripes from their city buildings. Is this a move the City of Ottawa should follow? Barrie Mayor Alex Nuttall joins Kristy to explain why he's ordering all American flags removed from city owned buildings. Later, the price of consumer goods is expected to rise. Will the cost of groceries skyrocket? Mike Von Massow, Professor in Food, Agricultural, and Resource Economics at the University of Guelph, says it depends on where the products is sourced.
