Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Mon. March 23rd, 2026

Ontario's Legislature is finally back in session after a 102-day Winter Break. And once we get to Thursday, we’ll have a brand-new Provincial Budget to react to. Are you satisfied with the present-day direction of the Ontario government? Do you like the recent steps they have taken? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, as the Iran War continues into Week 4, gas prices are still going up. In fact, they could reach $1.80 per litre by the end of the week. How is that impacting local businesses? Joining us in Hour 3 is Baudouin St-Cyr, the Executive Director of Meals On Wheels Ottawa. Plus, it’s a Monday afternoon, which means it’s time to talk politics with our Political Heat Panel.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Mon. March 23rd, 2026

On Sunday night, an Air Canada jet was carrying 72 passengers from Montreal’s Pierre-Elliott Trudeau Airport to New York. But as the flight crew made landing just before Midnight at LaGuardia Airport, things spiraled into disaster when the jet collided with a fire truck. Two pilots have lost their lives and 41 people have been taken to hospital. What factors could have played into this deadly crash? Kristy Cameron chats with Dennis Wyche, a man who has worked in Air Traffic Control for 35 years and also holds a private pilot’s license. He previously served as a System Specialist on NAV Canada’s Surface Surveillance System. Shifting gears to municipal matters, the City of Ottawa is looking at creating new noise bylaws, which would deal with excessive noise at restaurants and cafes that offer live music and entertainment. Establishments would be ordered by the Chief License Inspector to, among other things, relocate their sound equipment. Event spaces in the Downtown Core are pushing back, arguing that it would be extremely difficult for live event spaces to operate under these new rules. We dig deeper with Melanie Brulee, the Executive Director of the Ottawa Music Industry Coalition, and Kwende Kefentse, the City of Ottawa’s first Cultural Industries Development Officer. Then, we open the floor to River Ward councillor Riley Brockington. Plus, we have an opening date for Ottawa’s newest concert space! History Ottawa, which is slated to open in the ByWard Market this year, will do so in August. CFRA’s Chris Holski fills us in.
