Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Wed. June 11th, 2025

June 11, 2025

Once the first series of Canadian-targeted tariffs was launched by U.S. President Donald Trump, American-made booze was quickly removed from Canadian shelves. That was a few months ago. A few months later, U.S. liquor is seeing a resurgence in Alberta and Saskatchewan. That is likely not happening here in Ontario, as Premier Doug Ford vows to keep the boycott in place until all tariffs are removed. Critics are growing curious as to why Canadian provinces are removing the limited amount of leverage they possess against American markets. Is it a good idea for Ontario to stick to their guns? Kristy Cameron sifts through the textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, with the dog days of Summer fast approaching, Summer Camps are gearing up for their July blitz. Over the past 14 years, Ottawa-based Children At Risk has operated Camp Kaleidoscope for thousands of kids to attend. In an effort to support children with autism and their families, and to keep this program going, they have been applying for the Canada Summer Job Grants since 2017. Sadly, in 2023, they saw a funding decrease of 51 percent compared to 2022. It declined again in 2024, a 41 percent dip from their 2023 funding. This year, it’s a whopping 75 percent funding cut compared to their financial support from 2024. We dig through the sobering data with Brenda Reisch, the Executive Director of Children At Risk.
