Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Mon. August 18th, 2025

Pride Week is officially underway in Canada's Capital, as Monday marks the initial stages of Sunday's grand celebration. Guest host Andrew Pinsent chats with David Breault in Hour 2. He is a member of Capital Pride's Board of Directors. Meantime, a visually-impaired Ottawa woman says she’s been repeatedly denied UBER rides because of her service dog. It’s a story that hits close to home for Michelle Weger, a disability advocate and best-selling author who has previously examined this exact issue with CBC’s Marketplace. And as Michelle reveals in today's conversation, she has also been rejected UBER rides because of her service dog.
