Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Wed. June 4th, 2025

June 4, 2025

In 2024, 80 percent of Canadians said they were proud to be Canadian, according to opinion polls. This Spring, as U.S. President Trump began his barrage of Canadian-targeted tariffs, patriotism surged. In fact, it was up six percentage points in early-March, just before the Liberals dropped the writ and called a snap election. And now, one month after Mark Carney won the country’s top job, the polls suggest that the Patriotism Meter has returned to normal levels. On a scale of 1 to 10, how high is your ‘Oh Canada’ decibel? Guest host Chris Holski tackles today’s Question of the Day. In local education news, Dr. Nili Kaplan-Myrth issued a public resignation during Tuesday’s OCDSB meeting, opting to put her days as a School Board Trustee behind her. And while she is proud to represent her residents, she says the alleged levels of toxicity and dysfunction at Ottawa’s largest school board became too much. She joins the show in Hour 3.
