Ottawa At Work with Patricia Boal for Wednesday May 29th, 2024

The Assembly of First Nations is holding a conference in Ottawa, calling on Etsy to reverse a ban on natural animal fur. The ban, if it proceeds, would take into effect on August 11th. CTV’s Tyler Fleming joins us in Hour 4. Then, we preview tonight's CTV Ottawa supper-hour newscast with Jackie Perez and Austin Lee. And if news breaks in real time, you'll hear it live on CFRA's Ottawa Now.

Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Tues. July 14th, 2026

After a lengthy staredown with America’s President, some Canadians are heading South once again. New data from Statistics Canada is showing a steady return to U.S. travel, as return trips by Canadian residents ticked up 3.2 percent this past June compared to June of 2025. This marks 3 consecutive months of growth, including a monster May and a gentle climb in April. Now, the ongoing FIFA World Cup might have something to do with this recent uptick, so the travel experts aren’t jumping to conclusions just yet. Are you still buying Canadian? Would you visit the USA if you were given a free trip to roam around? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, almost every business inside Ottawa’s historic ByWard Market Building is urging City Council to scrap a redevelopment plan – a blueprint that would force them out after decades in business. In Hour 3, we check in with Maxine Hill, the owner of Canada In A Basket.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Tues. July 14th, 2026

Watching your property and your possessions fill up with water often brings a very specific kind of helplessness. When you are standing in rubber boots, waiting on a claims adjuster to show up to your front door, only to find out that you have no coverage – it’s demoralizing pain. Nearly 6,000 basements have been impacted by this year’s Canada Day floods. Kristy’s basement is one of them, and that statistic is climbing. Insurance companies call this an ‘Act of God’ – a legal phrasing for something completely out of humanity’s control. So how do we cope when our safety net abruptly evaporates? That’s up for discussion in this week’s Self-Help Tuesday with psychotherapist Benslyne Avril. Meantime, after the U.S. launched a trade war with Canada last year, one of the first statement actions from Ontario’s Premier was a purging of U.S. liquor. Doug Ford yanked every single American bottle in sight off the store shelves. But now, the province is doing a tango with expiration dates and rising storage costs. Will it cost us more to run out the clock, or is the Buy Canadian movement too meaningful to waste away? We dig deeper with Michael J. Armstrong, an Associate Professor of Operations Research at Brock University.
