Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Fri. August 1st, 2025

The August 1st trade deadline has come and gone without a deal between Canada and the United States. U.S. President signed an executive order hiking tariffs to 35% on some Canadian goods. Canada, (bad) deal or no deal? We get reaction from Canada's former Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay. Plus, have you turned to AI to help with your mental health?

Later, we continue Kristy's Summer Hit List with CFRA's Emma Kelly; she drops by with her suggestions on places to go and things to do.
