Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Wed. April 9th, 2025
April 9, 2025
We are reacting to developing news from the White House this afternoon, as U.S. President Trump is vowing to jack up tariffs against China. In a TruthSocial post, he confirms that the China-targeted tariffs will rise to 125 percent. Meantime, the administration is also hitting the ‘Pause’ button for 90 days on last week’s reciprocal tariffs. That applies to any country who hasn’t retaliated against America. Where does that leave Canada? We dig deeper in Hour 1. Meantime, we are approaching the half-way point of this year’s federal election campaign. CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent delivers the latest developments from the campaign trail, as we prepare to put a wrap on Day 18. Plus, after 8 years of losing and rebuilding, the Ottawa Senators are finally back in the Stanley Cup Playoffs! They didn’t exit Columbus with a win on Tuesday, but a little bit of outside help was enough to punch their ticket. Postmedia’s Bruce Garrioch reacts to the hockey-hungry atmosphere on the streets of Ottawa this morning.

A border security bill tabled this week by the federal government would grant CSIS, the police and other law enforcement agencies the right to demand information about internet subscribers – including their locations – without a warrant from a judge.The proposed changes, part of a sprawling piece of legislation unveiled on Tuesday, were criticized by civil liberties advocates and legal experts, who argued that the measures would run counter to previous court rulings and would almost certainly face new challenges.
