Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. October 30th, 2025

October 30, 2025

Police have laid murder charges in connection with the disappearance of a Smiths Falls man, who was last seen over 2 years ago. CTV’s Katie Griffin has the latest in Hour 3. Meantime, several Ontario Mayors and city councillors have called on the Ford government to reverse an upcoming ban on speed cameras. Heck, even some police groups have vented their frustrations. Yet, those pleas appear to have fallen on deaf ears at Queen’s Park, as the ban officially moves forward. CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent has more on that.

Her bill has gained tons of traction in the Canadian Senate, but it still needs to pass several readings in the House of Commons before it becomes law. Do you support it?

Parishioners, hell-bent on keeping their church, changed the locks, posted no trespassing signs, banned the archbishop, thwarted a real estate sale and were eventually ordered by a court to stand down.

This year’s Canadian wildfires and their impact American air quality have been a hot topic between the countries’ governments, with the Trump administration urging Canada to emphasize “forest management” as an antidote, the head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said Friday. But the two nations don’t necessarily agree on the role of such measures, EPA chief Lee Zeldin suggested during a meeting of G7 environment and energy ministers in Toronto.
