Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Tues. July 8th, 2025

July 8, 2025

Canada’s Finance Minister, along with the Treasury Board President, have issued letters to Prime Minister Carney’s Cabinet. According to a spokesperson from Francois-Philippe Champagne’s office, those letters are asking the Carney Cabinet to present plans for day-to-day operational savings. They want to see that vision by the end of the Summer, as the feds prepare to deliver a 2025 Budget sometime this Fall. We gather the latest developments in Hour 3 with CTV’s Austin Lee. Meantime, if you find yourself walking around the ByWard Market over the next several weeks, you might notice an uptick in police cruisers and police officers. That’s because Ottawa Police plans to increase their presence in the Downtown Core for the remainder of the Summer months – all part of a broader gameplan to ‘address crime and social disorder’. We gather instant reaction from John Borsten, who runs a handful of Ottawa’s best-known eateries. But first, it’s time to tackle today’s Question of the Day. As our students and school educators enjoy a well-deserved Summer Break, preparations are well underway for the next learning season. Is it time to rethink today’s graduation awards? Text into the show and let us know.
