Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Wed. April 23rd, 2025
April 23, 2025
From everyday residents and longtime customers, to the Mayor of Ottawa and famous Prime Ministers, the doors of John’s Diner have welcomed people for more than 50 years. However, after Friday’s dinners have been served, the lights will be turned off one last time. There is no trouble in paradise for the Hatoum family. They just want to enjoy these precious moments of paradise while they are still here. Tony Hatoum, John’s son, works at the diner himself. He joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 3. Sticking with the subject of Downtown businesses, the City of Ottawa is trying to make the city’s busiest sector more livable and desirable. Pedestrian spaces have been added in recent months. A satellite police station has moved into the Rideau Centre as well. However, more and more businesses are either moving out of the Downtown Core or calling it quits altogether. As we try to right the ship, are we headed in the right direction? We open the debate floor and tackle today’s Question of the Day. Plus, CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent delivers the latest developments on the campaign trail, as we creep closer and closer to Election Day.

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.
