U.S. President Donald Trump took hold of the White House in late-January. Prime Minister Mark Carney started his fresh mandate with Canadians last week. However, while they have talked over the phone multiple times, these two men haven’t been in the same room together as leaders of their respective countries. That will change on Tuesday, as Carney touches down in Washington. He says this will hopefully be the first of several meetings with America’s leader, and expects the discussions to be difficult but constructive. Ryan Hurl, a Professor of Political Science at the University of Toronto, joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 2. In local news, the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board begins its final debates on a proposed elementary-level overhaul, changes that would begin during the 2026-2027 learning season. We go 1-on-1 with OCDSB Director of Education Pino Buffone.
