Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Mon. June 16th, 2025
June 16, 2025
Canada is hosting an assortment of world leaders at this year’s G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta. Earlier this morning, Prime Minister Mark Carney mingled with U.S. President Donald Trump, their first in-person meeting since Carney’s White House visit last month. And while both seemed optimistic about future negotiations, they still have different concepts as to what the economic relationship looks like. Here to explain further is Julia Kulik, the Director of Research at the G7 Research Group. It is based at the University of Toronto. Shifting gears to the eastern side of Lake Ontario, the City of Belleville remains under a State of Emergency after 365 days. The city’s Mayor sounded the alarm last year following a gut-wrenching spike in opioid-related overdoses. Since then, the municipality has seen a spike in their homelessness population, and things don’t seem to be getting better anytime soon. Mayor Neil Ellis joins the program in Hour 2. Plus, if you were hoping that Mark Carney would address the black eye on 24 Sussex, it appears that he has no immediate plans to implement a gameplan. Marc Denhez of Historic Ottawa Development explains what he would do, as a piece of Canadian history continues to rot.

Most of Jasper’s firefighters, a small, mostly-volunteer crew in the Rocky Mountain community, had never battled a fire like the one that destroyed one-third of their Alberta town last summer.The 30-person brigade helped fend off flames, protecting critical infrastructure and homes, even as some of their own residences began to burn to the ground. In the days and weeks that followed, as the damage laid bare a difficult road to recovery, other wounds began to emerge.
