Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Tues. June 3rd, 2025
June 3, 2025
We are receiving breaking news from OC Transpo this afternoon. As seen on Kristy Cameron’s social media feed, and heard this hour from CFRA’s Chris Holski, Renee Amilcar will be stepping down as the General Manager of OC Transpo in mid-July. We gather instant reaction from Beacon Hill-Cyrville councillor Tim Tierney. Later in Hour 3, Ottawa Police continue to investigate a damning jewellery store robbery on Bank Street, which unfolded last Friday night. We dig deeper with former Ottawa Police Chief Charles Bordeleau. Plus, as the Ottawa Senators try to strike a deal at LeBreton Flats, could the timeline for a brand-new Ottawa Public Library also be up in the air? Here to address those concerns is Kitchissippi councillor Jeff Leiper.

I suggested that she ask the person himself.
She stared at me and exclaimed, “But he takes drugs!”
“You can still ask him who he is,” I said.
And she stormed away up the street.
I tell this story not primarily to illustrate how I have come to be seen as responsible for all homeless people within about...
