Could the Democrats’ blue wave bring an end to the Canada-USA trade war? Last week’s Midterms saw the Dems took control of both the U.S. Congress and the U.S. Senate – both in convincing fashion. Will the shift in politics shift the tone of Canada-USA relations? Will more Canadians flock back to the United States for their well-earned vacations? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackle today’s Question of the Day. Plus, we delve into the 2026 Federal Budget with our Political Heat Panel. As we head into 2027, did Carney hit enough of the right notes?

Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Mon. November 9th, 2026

Rural residents are taking their fight against the Alto high-speed rail project straight to Ottawa – on foot. The route spans 5 days and 100 kilometres, starting in East Hawkesbury. The controversial rail line would someday connect Quebec City to Toronto, and Canada’s Capital would be one of the stops. However, the latest estimated price tag is between $75 billion and $113 billion, generating lots of intense opposition from farmers and residents along the proposed corridor. Kristy Cameron checks in with Kathleen O'Connell-Renaud in Hour 2. She is the co-lead of ALT-NO, a group of people who oppose the project. Meantime, some classes have been cancelled at the University of Ottawa, as part-time professors hit the picket lines outside campus. The Association of Teaching Professors began job action on Saturday after recent negotiations hit an impasse. We get the latest developments from Luc Angers, the Vice-President in charge of mobilization. He’s also been teaching at UOttawa for over a decade.

Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Mon. November 9th, 2026

After last week’s ‘blue tsunami’ in the U.S. Midterms, Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he’s looking forward to working with new members of U.S. Congress. There’s no denying that last Tuesday’s results presented a seismic shift in American politics. But how much will that Democratic shift mean to Canadians? Have this year's U.S. Midterms altered your outlook on U.S. travel, and how soon you’d be willing to visit America again? In Hour 1, Kristy Cameron picks the brain of Barry Choi, a money and travel expert. Meantime, construction on the exterior of the new Ottawa Public Library Main Branch is nearing completion. But do we have a confirmed date for the Grand Opening? CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent has more on that. But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines.
