Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Wed. May 28th, 2025

How do you solve the Hudson’s Bay jigsaw puzzle? Primaris REIT, the landlord of nine Hudson’s Bay locations, will be spending $50 million to repurpose five Hudson’s Bay stores that saw no bids. 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.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has extended its Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot, which was founded in 2018 as a route to permanent residence, until the end of the year, saying it is helping employers in critical sectors meet labour market shortages.
