Ottawa At Work with Chris Holski - June 4th, 2026

A new nationally-syndicated show is launching on CFRA tomorrow afternoon, which you can hear every single Friday on the iHeartRadio Talk Network from Noon until 2PM. And it’s being hosted by a familiar voice. We check in with CTV’s Graham Richardson in Hour 2. Over the next decade, the City of Ottawa is grappling with a multi-million-dollar gap in the infrastructure budget. From bumpy roads and crumbling recreation centres, to Ottawa’s arenas and pools, the repair bill is getting bigger and bigger each year. And now, city councillors are debating potential solutions, as an infrastructure levy is being tossed around the table. Some like it, but others are opposed. Do we need it? We tackle that topic, as well as the renoviction debate, with our Reality Check Panel.

Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. June 4th, 2026

Ahead of the upcoming FIFA World Cup, the Ontario government is more than doubling the maximum fine that can be handed out for selling tickets above their original value. In a news release issued this morning, the province said that businesses and individuals who violate this legislation could face fines of $25,000 – up from $10,000 previously. The question, of course, is will they listen? Kristy Cameron goes 1-on-1 with Stephen Crawford, Ontario’s Minister of Public and Business Service Delivery and Procurement. Later in the program, we pick the brain of music expert and publicist Eric Alper, who is quite skeptical about Ontario’s approach. But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines.
