CFRA LIVE - Hour 3 - August 3rd

The finances for Ottawa's LRT are dire and Ottawa's mayor made an urgent call to the provincial and federal governments for additional funding. Our QOTD today is "...do you think our transit system can be saved?" 

We get reaction from: 
-  Laura Shantz, Ottawa Transit Riders board member 
- Alex Cullen, former Ottawa city councillor
- John Crupi, CTV News Ottawa Assignment Editor
- and YOU during our QOTD. 

Canada's Olympic success in the pool has many younger Canadians to pick up the sport. 

We follow up on the ByWard Market's CORE strategy implementation and how it's having a negative impact in neighbouring Somerset ward. We hear how bad it's gotten from a facilities manager of a non-profit organization situated on Bank Street. 

On Thursdays, Carson Arthur visits us for his weekly segment 'In The Garden with Carson Arthur'.  

Two suspects are in custody after a foiled terrorist attack at a Taylor Swift concert. National Security Expert discuses how authorities thwarted the attack.

Ottawa Now for Thurs. August 8th, 2024

How do you know when your city is filled with too many tourists? Well, when the city's residents begin to protest against the city's tourists, that's probably one glaring red flag. And sadly, this trend is growing globally. We explain further in Hour 4. Meantime, a couple of suspects are in custody after a foiled terrorist attack in Austria. Their alleged target: A sold-out Taylor Swift concert in Vienna. As a result, that sold-out show has been called off, along with two other sold-out dates in the Austrian city. How was the plot thwarted? Joining us with additional insight is a former CSIS counter-terrorism analyst. And on a much lighter note, we wish a very Happy Birthday to Ottawa Now show producer Dani-Elle Dubé!!!

Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. August 8th, 2024

Today's Question of the Day has set the textboard and the X-verse ablaze! Well, at least on 580 CFRA's end of things. We take your calls and emails on Ottawa's transit system in Hour 3. Do you think it can truly be saved? Plus, it's a Thursday afternoon, which means it's time for another visit from gardening expert Carson Arthur. Whether we can implement Carson's game-changing pointers this weekend will likely depend on Mother Nature, and specifically Tropical Storm Debby. Will they play tricks on us? Keep it locked right here on Ottawa Now!
