Canada’s Finance Minister is trying to make it easier for Canadian homeowners to afford their next purchase. Yesterday, new measures were unveiled to hopefully turn those dreams into reality, as the Federal Budget looms large. Frank Napolitano of Mortgage Brokers Ottawa joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 2. Meantime, the Premier of Ontario doesn’t plan to reverse a recent decision on electric vehicle chargers. As new homes are being built, these charging stations will not be mandatory.

Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Fri. April 12th, 2024

The Ottawa Senators and the NCC have reached an agreement in principle; an arena at LeBreton Flats is looking more likely. CFRA's Chris Holski joins Kristy to go over the announcement. Now, when it comes to build such big projects, money is almost always an issue. Our Question of The Day: 'Should this (the new Sens arena) be funded by the taxpayer? Sports economist Moshe Lander says any money given to build these arenas is akin to 'flushing your tax dollars down the toilet'. 

Are bike lanes a source of congestion? The province is looking at restricting the addition of bike lanes where lanes of vehicular traffic would be removed. Why? The director of the Infrastructure Institute  Matti Siemiatycki believes this proposed legislation is ill-advised. 

Mr. Hollywood Matt Demers reviews 'Transformers One', 'The Substance', and 'Never Let Go'. Plus, Chris Holski drops by to discuss the grand opening (somewhat) of Maplewood Secondary School. 

Political science professor Nelson Wiseman wasn't surprised about how the week's gone down, post-dissolution of the Liberals-NDP Confidence Agreement. 

CFRA host Andrew Pinsent has an update on the federal government's firearm buyback program, the ballooning cost ($67M), and the amount of guns collected (nada).

And, CTV's Matt Skube joins Kristy to chat about child names and the trouble some (of the more creative ones) - have gotten them in.
