Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Fri. August 7th, 2026

OC Transpo’s General Manager isn’t ruling out a redesign of Moodie Station on the O-Train’s Western Extension. This comes after a Canada Day downpour wreaked a lot of havoc in the area. However, Rick Leary says it’s ‘too early to definitively determine’ whether it’s needed, or what it could involve. A few weeks ago, city councillors who represented nearby ridings were given a tour of the site to assess the July 1st damages, one of whom was College Ward councillor Laine Johnson. She joins Kristy Cameron on Ottawa Now.

As Canada continues its tug-of-war with the United States, business owners in both countries are feeling the burn, and they are collectively worried about what the future holds. For tourism destinations, in particular, the tit-for-tat tariffs are really adding up. A ski resort in Jay, Vermont recently posted a message on Instagram, calling for Canadian tourists to come back. That’s because it relies heavily on its strong community of Canadian skiers, riders, and visitors – fewer of whom have been dropping by since the trade war began last year. And without them, money is getting tighter and tighter. Steve Wright is the President and General Manager of Jay Peak Resort – located just 4 hours away from Canada’s Capital. He joins Kristy Cameron on Ottawa Now.
