Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. June 19th, 2025

June 19, 2025

Canada’s Prime Minister had plenty of information to dish out this afternoon, as the feds defended their aggressive approach to push Bill C-5 forward. The secondary nugget is all about the economy, and Canada’s complicated relationship with the United States. In a nutshell, if the two sides can’t reach a trade deal by July 21st, Mark Carney has a series of countermeasures up his sleeve. They are locked, loaded, and ready to fire if the stalemate continues. As for the severity of Canada’s retaliation on American tariffs, that all depends on how next month’s negotiations play out. If a potential deal isn’t in Canada’s best interest, Carney vows to reject it. Is this tough-but-fair approach tough enough? CTV political analyst and former NDP leader Tom Mulcair joins Kristy Cameron to present his opinions. On the lighter side of today’s news cycle, The Royal’s Mental Health Centre has received a $1.9 million grant from Brain Canada. This allows the facility to launch a one-of-a-kind brain imaging platform, a game-changing device that our country has never seen before. Here to explain further is Dr. Florence Dzierszinski, the President and CEO of The Royal’s Research Institute.
