Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Fri. July 4th, 2025

July 4, 2025

U.S. President Donald Trump is turning his ‘big and beautiful bill’ into official law, coincidentally on America’s birthday. It is being completed this afternoon during an Independence Day ceremony at the White House. On Thursday, after a tense 24 hours of negotiating, members of U.S. Congress passed it through with a final tally of 218 to 214. Nearly 900 pages long, its contents include a collection of tax breaks and spending cuts, as well as new funding for U.S. national defense and future deportations. As this grand unveiling is taking place, Trump is turning up the heat on other countries to sign trade deals with America, adding that new tariffs could be on the way soon. CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent analyzes the latest developments from Washington. But first, it’s time to tackle today’s Question of the Day. Earlier in the program, Lululemon was planning to sue Costco over claims that the big-box wholesaler was selling knock-off versions of its yoga attire. These are often referred to as ‘dupes’. What is better: The real deal or the knock-off? Text into the show and let us know!
