Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Wed. August 27th, 2025

The councillor for Rideau-Vanier has been reprimanded by City Council over a series of social media comments. However, Stephanie Plante will not be docked 3 days worth of salary. Ottawa's Integrity Commissioner determined that Plante had engaged in 'harassment, intimidation, and online bullying' in relation to debates over sprung structures. That violates the municipality’s Code of Conduct. As previously heard in Hour 1, the Downtown councillor argued that Wednesday’s decision by the City Commissioner sets a bad precedent. And now, in Hour 3, we turn things over to the mighty CFRA Nation. Did she deserve this type of reprimand? Let us know on the textboard, as we tackle today’s Question of the Day. Plus, we are debuting a new weekly segment, set to air every single Wednesday afternoon at 4:30! We don’t have a segment name just yet, but we are talking tech with Android Central editor-in-chief Shruti Shekar!
