Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Tues. February 11th, 2025

View descriptionShare

Hundreds of students and staff members at Algonquin College are in a state of shock this afternoon, as the campus plans to cut 37 academic programs. These cutbacks are scheduled to begin in September. It follows devastating news from Perth last month, as the College plans to shut down operations there. Teri Lorretto is the Program Coordinator for Algonquin’s Scriptwriting and Performing Arts programs, which are currently listed on the chopping block. She joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 3. Meantime, an Ottawa farmer says provincial trade barriers are making it difficult to sell Ontario pork in Quebec. Bruce Hudson, a co-owner of Panmure Farms Ltd. and Vice Chair at Ontario Pork, fears it would be impossible to keep his business rolling if U.S. President Trump follows through on his March 1st tariffs.
