An Ottawa man is speaking out after losing $170,000 in a crypto scam. It all started with a social media advertisement, claiming to be Elon Musk's new Quantum A.I. Trading Platform. What was initially perceived to be a wise investment for Doug and Victoria Lloyd quickly turned into a nightmare. Today, they are talking to police officers and several bankers to try and recover the money, while a GoFundMe page hopes to keep them afloat in the meantime. Doug joins Kristy Cameron on Ottawa Now.

PODCAST: The Daily Review for Tues. November 26th, 2024

Earlier in the program, we did a vibe check on the incoming American tariffs to Canadian-made goods, which are slated for implementation once Donald Trump is sworn back into the White House. In Hour 4, we check in with a small business owner and examine some of their concerns. Plus, did somebody order a reunion of the Senators’ Pizza Line? Believe it or not, it’s happening!

Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Tues. November 26th, 2024

Our sincerest apologies, Canada. The tariffs are coming. Well, once Donald Trump returns to office. And these planned tariffs are huge - a 25 percent tax on Canadian-made and Mexican-made goods. How worried are you about the economic fallout? Matt Skube sifts through the textboard and tackles today's Question of the Day. Meantime, according to a national report by Women’s Shelters Canada, 97 percent of surveyed shelter workers found it more difficult to support survivors of violence, especially those who are looking for housing. They say 12 months isn’t enough time to provide adequate assistance to their clients.
