Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Wed. July 2nd, 2025

July 2, 2025

In an effort to help track infectious diseases across North America, and perhaps around the world, Canada once relied on American-fueled data. In late-January, Donald Trump re-entered the White House, and things quickly changed. Over the past few months, America’s public health institutions have been gutted under the second Trump administration, and this looming crisis has left several countries scrambling to find alternative paths to track viruses. And now, the Canadian Medical Association Journal is urgently calling on the Carney government to strengthen the country’s present-day monitoring systems. Guest host Andrew Pinsent chats with Shannon Charlebois, who is the co-author of this latest statement from the CMAJ. Plus, we deliver the latest breaking news as it happens, right here on CFRA’s Ottawa Now.
