Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Fri. August 1st, 2025

For any Canadian goods that aren't compliant with CUSMA, they are getting a 35 percent tariff if they are destined for America. That's a hike from the Trump administration's previously-implemented 25 percent. UNIFOR President Lana Payne, who oversees Canada's largest private sector union, drops by with her thoughts. Later in Hour 2, we continue our conversation in Hour 1 about mental health, and whether forms of A.I. could help humans fight their demons. Luke Stark, who studies the social impacts of Artificial Intelligence, explains why more and more people are making the switch. Plus, CFRA's Chris Holski is immensely inspired by this week's Iron Man competition, which is making its inaugural trip to Canada's Capital. He makes a sales pitch for an 'alternative' Ottawa Iron Man that participants could try.
