Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Mon. January 5th, 2026

View descriptionShare

Back in 2023, following a successful pilot project, the City of Ottawa ordered 350 Electric buses. So far, only a small percentage of them have been added to Ottawa’s fleet. To be exact, 30 of those buses have actually made their way to Canada’s Capital. What gives? We get the details from CTV’s Leah Larocque in Hour 2. Then, we check in with Barrhaven East councillor Wilson Lo, who is a member of the city’s Transit Committee and once worked at OC Transpo. Meantime, after grinding through the bulk of the 2020’s under a hybrid-work model, thousands of Ontario public employees have reverted back to the pre-COVID model. The 5-day workspace mandate was initially unveiled by the province last Summer, but it officially began earlier today. How is it being received? We dig deeper with OPSEU President J.P. Hornick. Plus, Ontario’s Premier intends to pull Crown Royal from all provincial store shelves. However, other Diageo brands will be spared from this purge. When asked to deliver his two cents on the matter, CFRA’s Chris Holski believes that Doug Ford has this ‘revenge game’ backwards.
