Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Wed. May 7th, 2025

As you heard throughout yesterday’s program, Prime Minister Mark Carney and Canada’s top officials met with U.S. President Donald Trump, marking his first in-person meeting with America’s Big Cheese. Appearing inside the Oval Office, Carney noted how Trump has revitalized international focuses on things like security and NATO, and explained how Canada is stepping up to meet those demands. Most of Tuesday’s dialogue centered around USMCA, which was negotiated between Trudeau and Trump during the latter’s first administration. We do a vibe check with Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens in Hour 2. Turning our attention to local news, safety concerns have indefinitely postponed the Fun Philippines Ottawa Food and Music Festival.

This decision follows a horrific SUV attack at a street festival in Vancouver, where at least 11 people of the Filipino community lost their lives. We hear from Tara Shannon, the Executive Director of the Ottawa Festival Network.
