Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Wed. July 2nd, 2025

View descriptionShare

Andrew Pinsent is filling in for Kristy Cameron this afternoon, as she is likely recovering from too much Canada Day fun. According to a new report from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, the Carney Liberals promise to balance the operating budget through $13 billion in productivity savings. That could amount to the largest public service cuts in modern history – a 24 percent slashing of government spending. We dig deeper with Sahir Khan, the Vice-President of UOttawa’s Institute of Fiscal Studies and Democracy. Plus, as festival organizers prepare for another year of RBC Bluesfest, Canada’s Capital will be rocking out in support of CHEO on July 11th. Joining us ahead of next week’s celebration is CHEO Foundation President Steve Read.
