Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Fri. October 30th, 2026

As discussed earlier in today’s program, a new Léger poll commissioned by several right-leaning think tanks reveals that long wait times are pushing half of all Canadians to skip seeing a doctor or visiting a hospital. In Hour 3, Kristy Cameron chats with Andrew Enns, the Executive Vice-President of the Central Canada chapter of Leger. Then, she opens the floor to the mighty CFRA Nation, as we tackle today’s Question of the Day. Do you fall into this category? Plus, we go 1-on-1 with Cameron Wales, the newly-elected Mayor of Brockville. He won Monday’s election in a decisive landslide, capturing nearly 68 percent of the vote to capture the city’s biggest seat. He had previously served two terms as a Brockville city councillor.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Fri. October 30th, 2026

The Ottawa Police Service is still saddled with a very serious deficit in 2026 – one that now stands at $22 million. This is mainly due to rising overtime payments to meet minimum staffing levels, as well as costs associated with the hiring of new recruits. In a recent report for the Ottawa Police Services Board’s Finance and Audit Committee, they did find $6.9 million in savings for 2026, but that did little to stem the tide. Kristy Cameron digs deeper with Alta Vista councillor Marty Carr in Hour 2. Re-elected to office earlier this week, she sits on the Ottawa Police Services Board as the Vice-Chair. Plus, re-elected Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe got the most votes in 20 out of 24 wards. Can you guess the 4 wards in which Leiper won the popularity contest? CFRA’s Chris Holski gives you a few seconds to play along – if you wish.

Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Fri. October 30th, 2026

A new Leger poll says long wait times lead half of Canadians to avoid seeing a doctor or going to the hospital. The percentage of respondents who say they avoid consulting doctors because of wait times is highest among women, people aged 55-and-over, and Quebecers. However, the survey numbers don’t indicate whether the people who avoided seeing a doctor had seen a nurse, or turned to other services like pharmacists. Kristy Cameron gets the bigger picture from Renaud Brossard, the Vice-President of Communications at the Montreal Economic Institute. They commissioned the Leger poll. Later in the show, we chat with Dr. Alan Drummond, who is an Emergency Physician at the Perth Hospital. Plus, we check in with CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent, who recently caught up with former Ottawa city councillor Mathieu Fleury. He has returned to city politics as a Trustee. Is a future run for Mayor of Ottawa in the cards?
