CTV Ottawa is kickstarting a special series today, highlighting the issue of scams across our region and across the country. In fact, in 2024 alone, Canadians lost over $600 million to cold-blooded scammers. CTV’s Katelyn Wilson gets the ball rolling in Hour 2. Meantime, today’s inflation numbers might be slowing down, but consumers are still feeling the pinch at the local grocery store. Is that a good sign or the start of a waking nightmare? We dig deeper with David MacDonald, a Senior Economist with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. Plus, as the snow starts to fly, we have a candid conversation about toboggan safety.
