Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Fri. March 21st, 2025

We still don’t have a confirmed date for the upcoming federal election, but Prime Minister Carney says it will either be April 28th or May 5th. Sources say his final decision will be made by Sunday morning, as he prepares to visit the Governor General’s office and drop the writ. What is the primary election issue for you right now? In the grand scheme of things, what could it be? And if it all boils down to which party leader is best equipped to handle the Trump administration, which political party should our country choose? Kristy Cameron sifts through the textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Speaking of Canada’s Prime Minister, he’s got an important meeting with the Canadian Premiers this afternoon, with tariffs and inter-provincial trade barriers top of mind. And as our country’s economy deals with ever-changing economic hurdles, largely fueled by America’s biggest voice, limited profitability and inefficient business is the last thing we need. Joining us in Hour 3 is Will Roman, the General Manager of Rosewood Estates Winery in Lincoln, Ontario.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Fri. March 21st, 2025

After holding out hope for a last-minute lifeline, Hudson’s Bay has managed to keep 6 stores open, thereby avoiding a Canada-wide extinction. The decision was finalized earlier today inside an Ontario courthouse. A pair of Toronto locations, including the flagship store on Yonge Street, have been spared from the liquidation sale. So have locations in Richmond Hill, Montreal, Laval, and Pointe-Clare. But as for Ottawa’s Rideau Centre destination, doomsday appears to be inevitable. Today, Canada’s oldest retailer employs 9,364 people across 80 store locations, numbers that will certainly shrink once the liquidation sale begins on Monday. Kristy Cameron digs deeper with David Ian Gray, a Canadian retail advisor and the founder of DIG 360. Meantime, if you’re hoping to escape another mentally-draining news week, perhaps a trip to the local cinema will help soothe the soul. Matt Demers has got you covered in Hour 2 with his Weekly Movie Picks!
