Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Mon. June 9th, 2025

June 9, 2025

Cataract surgery is classified as a medically-necessary surgery in Ontario. But thanks to rising wait times, today’s patients are turning to private clinics for surgical options. Those results have come with several asterisks, as some patients allege they were being upsold. This report from the Toronto Star comes at a time where the Ford government has continued to expand the number of privately-run surgical and diagnostic cataract centres. And with each passing month, the Ontario Health Coalition says complaints have gone from bad to worse. Have you ever been ‘upsold’ on medical care before? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Plus, it’s a Monday afternoon, which means it’s time to welcome back our Political Heat Panel. Today’s biggest headline, of course, is Canada’s defense spending gameplan. They plan to meet NATO’s 2 percent target in 2025. But what should the long-term plans include? We debate and discuss in Hour 3.
