Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Wed. May 7th, 2025

May 7, 2025
As you heard throughout yesterday’s program, Prime Minister Mark Carney and Canada’s top officials met with U.S. President Donald Trump, marking his first in-person meeting with America’s Big Cheese. Appearing inside the Oval Office, Carney noted how Trump has revitalized international focuses on things like security and NATO, and explained how Canada is stepping up to meet those demands. Most of Tuesday’s dialogue centered around USMCA, which was negotiated between Trudeau and Trump during the latter’s first administration. We do a vibe check with Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens in Hour 2. Turning our attention to local news, safety concerns have indefinitely postponed the Fun Philippines Ottawa Food and Music Festival. This year’s inaugural celebrations were scheduled to take place during the Victoria Day Weekend, but ‘unforeseen developments’ have put those plans on the backburner. This decision follows a horrific SUV attack at a street festival in Vancouver, where at least 11 people of the Filipino community lost their lives. We hear from Tara Shannon, the Executive Director of the Ottawa Festival Network.

Joy Fiddler sat outside a hotel smoking a cigarette, as her daughter, Saffron, registered their family of nine with the Canadian Red Cross. Fleeing from an out-of-control wildfire near her Northern Ontario home in Sandy Lake First Nation, she had slept for less than an hour after arriving more than 1,500 kilometres away in Cornwall.“All I saw was orange,” Ms. Fiddler, 51, said Monday afternoon, recalling her 11-hour wait at the Sandy Lake airport, where military aircraft and helicopters have been landing since Saturday, struggling to airlift nearly 3,000 people amid heavy smoke.
