Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Wed. May 14th, 2025

May 14, 2025
A recent string of incidents on Ottawa’s roadways has led to life-changing consequences. In some cases, those mistakes ended up being fatal. The latest tragic outcome happened yesterday in Orleans, as a vehicle reportedly jumped the curb and struck two pedestrians. One of them has sadly passed away, while the other is facing life-threatening injuries. We have a conversation about road safety with Lewis Smith, who is the Manager of National Projects at Canada Safety Council. Shifting gears to another serious topic in our city, we’re talking about public transit again, as the ‘New Ways To Bus’ campaign creates more nightmares than solutions for Ottawa’s commuters. That’s according to Stacy in Barrhaven, who uses the service every day. He joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 2. And in the world of politics, the Carney Cabinet is assembling for its first meeting, while the Ford government prepares to unveil the 2025 Ontario Budget on Thursday. CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent delivers the latest developments on both matters.
