This comes as the Canadian staple plans to shutter all stores by Sunday, as liquidation sales head into overdrive. CTV’s Katelyn Wilson joins guest host Chris Holski in Hour 3. Meantime, in an effort to spice up Sussex Drive and its surrounding areas, the NCC is pondering and debating a wide range of tourist-driving methods. John McNee, a diplomat who served as Canada's Ambassador to the United Nations from 2006 to 2011, co-released an Ottawa Citizen op-ed with former U.N. representative Dilshad Macklen. Together, they agreed that Sussex Drive deserves better from the NCC, and argues their futuristic approach will not have the economic payoffs they desire. McNee drops by the Hall Anthony studios to expand on his points of view.

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.
