Ottawa At Work with Leslie Roberts for Monday April 27th, 2020

If elected on October 26th, mayoral candidate Alex Lawson would waive goodbye to Ottawa’s Vacant Unit Tax. Is it time to cut the cord on this venture? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, the Ontario government has fined ticket reseller StubHub Canada $20,000 under the law capping ticket resale prices. In our province, the law limits the sale of seats at face-value. According to the Consumer Beware List, it displays a $10,000 fine for allegedly making a ticket available above the cap, plus another $10,000 fine for allegedly facilitating a transaction without having proof of the original price. Music expert and publicist Eric Alper pays us a visit in Hour 3. He has been closely following this legislation since it was introduced by the Ford government this Summer.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Tues. September 22nd, 2026

The Carney government is making sweeping changes to Canada’s Labour Code – and union leaders are far from thrilled. These alterations are aimed at speeding up project approvals and limiting supply chain disruptions due to strikes. The Liberals' new legislation would also introduce a special mediator whenever bad blood between the parties threatens collective bargaining. That mediator would then publish a public report on the sticking points between the parties. Kristy Cameron chats with Mark Hancock, the National President of the Canadian Union for Public Employees. Meantime, today’s edition of Self-Help Tuesday with psychotherapist Benslyne Avril is all about facing your fears. And for Kristy, it might be the dentist.

Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Tues. September 22nd, 2026

Should Ottawa remove the Vacant Unit Tax? Mayoral candidate Alex Lawson says, if elected this Fall, he will scrap it. It was implemented back in 2022 – an annual 1 percent tax on residential properties that are left vacant. City Council brought it in as a way to address Ottawa’s housing shortage, but the reception has been mixed at times. And in December of 2025, the municipality said just over 16,000 previously vacant units had been returned to the market between 2022 and 2023. Lawson joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 1. Meantime, The Royal has opened its new urgent care facility – the Minto Greenberg Urgent Care Clinic. It is the only centre of its kind in Eastern Ontario, offering rapid assessment to anyone who is experiencing a mental health crisis. And just a few hours into Opening Day, the clinic was already full. We check in with Stephanie Carter, the Executive Director of Clinical Services at The Royal. But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines.
