Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Wed. October 28th, 2026

The Bank of Canada has raised its key interest rate for the first time in 3 years, now standing at 2.5 percent as we head into November. BOC Governor Tiff Macklem is citing the Iran War and rising oil prices as primary reasons behind the decision, but the Canada-USA trade war probably doesn’t help matters. And it might not be the only rate hike we see before 2026 draws to a close. How have you been handling the economic uncertainty lately? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, as the return-to-office mandate proceeds, Outaouais family doctors are speaking out against a sharp rise in consultations from healthy employees looking to get prescribed remote work. They are seeking RTO exemptions, and a reduction of hours spent in the office. In Hour 3, we check in with Dr. Karine Lemyre, a family physician based in Gatineau.
