Bruyere Health is laying off 55 frontline health workers, according to the Canadian Union of Public Employees. It says the cuts will include 46 personal support workers and 9 nurses. Back in October, Ontario’s Financial Accountability Officer projected a reduction in 9,000 nursing and PSW positions by 2027-2028, which are largely based around the Ford government’s spending plan. CUPE estimates that 725 of those jobs would be eliminated in Ottawa, including the cuts at Bruyere. How soon will these cuts happen, and where will the pain be felt the most? Kristy Cameron digs deeper with Douglas Currier, the President of CUPE Union Local 4540. He is also a Registered Practical Nurse at Bruyere.

Drivers in Ottawa are feeling the ripple effects of the latest conflict in the Middle East, as gas prices sharply spiked this weekend. On Saturday, prices at the pumps rose by about 6 cents per litre, bringing the average price in Canada’s Capital to roughly $1.52 per litre. That’s significant when compared to the prices we saw just 2 weeks ago – when the average price was 19 cents lower. Colin Mang, an economist at McMaster University, dissects the latest round of sticker shock on today's Ottawa Now.
