Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. March 6th, 2025
March 6, 2025
Earlier in today’s show, we talked about a series of controversial school boundary changes, courtesy of Ottawa’s largest school board. Consultations are being held tonight and a lot of frustrated parents are expected to voice their concerns in-person. Christine Burke, for example, is a mother of 2 kids who lives in Orleans. If these changes proceed, her youngest daughter will have to switch schools next Fall. She joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 3. Meantime, did you hear the story about a Conservative Senator who once dropped the gloves with Justin Trudeau? First of all, it was a friendly boxing match, not an actual fistfight. And no, it didn’t end well for Patrick Brazeau. Well, over 10 years later, he is challenging Donald Trump Jr. to a charity boxing bout. Is it good publicity or the worst possible time to ask? CFRA’s Chris Holski weighs in. And finally, we sift through the CFRA textboard and tackle today’s Question of the Day.

Who made Uncle Sam boss?Well, now we are seeing what happens in a world without American leadership. It is not pretty. Under Donald Trump, the United States is pulling back from its leading role in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the United Nations and the World Trade...

Nearly a decade after Justin Trudeau promised safe drinking water for all First Nations, empty plastic bottles continue to pile up so high in Neskantaga First Nation that the community doesn’t know where to put them all.“You see water bottles almost every place you go, just laying around,” says Neskantaga Chief Gary Quisess by phone, the line occasionally crackling with the sound of a plastic bottle in his hand. “I don’t know how it’s going to be cleaned up or addressed.”
