OC Transpo’s General Manager isn’t ruling out a redesign of Moodie Station on the O-Train’s Western Extension. This comes after a Canada Day downpour wreaked a lot of havoc in the area. However, Rick Leary says it’s ‘too early to definitively determine’ whether it’s needed, or what it could involve. A few weeks ago, city councillors who represented nearby ridings were given a tour of the site to assess the July 1st damages, one of whom was College Ward councillor Laine Johnson. She joins Kristy Cameron on Ottawa Now.

Ottawa Now - OC Transpo G.M. isn't ruling out redesign of Moodie Station, but a lot remains up in the air after July 1st flooding

As Canada continues its tug-of-war with the United States, business owners in both countries are feeling the burn, and they are collectively worried about what the future holds. For tourism destinations, in particular, the tit-for-tat tariffs are really adding up. A ski resort in Jay, Vermont recently posted a message on Instagram, calling for Canadian tourists to come back. That’s because it relies heavily on its strong community of Canadian skiers, riders, and visitors – fewer of whom have been dropping by since the trade war began last year. And without them, money is getting tighter and tighter. Steve Wright is the President and General Manager of Jay Peak Resort – located just 4 hours away from Canada’s Capital. He joins Kristy Cameron on Ottawa Now.

Ottawa Now - As trade war escalates, Vermont ski resort calls for Canadian tourists to come back

Turning our attention back to the trade war, a growing number of Canadian businesses are turning their focus away from America. That list of names includes an award-winning chocolate maker in Almonte – who have set their sights on Europe and beyond for future expansion. CTV’s Natalie Van Rooy delivers the details in Hour 4. Then, we preview tonight’s CTV Ottawa supper-hour newscast with Jackie Perez. And if news breaks in real time, you’ll hear it live on CFRA’s Ottawa Now.

Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Fri. August 28th, 2026

Nine months after the Ford government disabled Ottawa’s speed cameras, more than 60 percent of drivers are speeding through an octagon of photo radar locations. Now, these cameras have been turned off, but the City of Ottawa hasn’t stopped keeping track of these lead-footed drivers. On average, drivers are going 7 to 13 kilometres faster than they were in 2025. Maybe we don’t get a full reinstatement, but should City Hall advocate for a photo radar renewal in school zones only? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Switching gears to a different topic, OC Transpo’s General Manager isn’t ruling out a redesign of Moodie Station on the O-Train’s Western Extension. This comes after a Canada Day downpour wreaked a lot of havoc in the area. However, Rick Leary says it’s ‘too early to definitively determine’ whether it’s needed, or what it could involve. College Ward councillor Laine Johnson drops by for a visit in Hour 3. Plus, we hear more details about Kristy’s week off! It wasn’t as hectic as the last one she took, but it wasn’t smooth sailing.
