Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Wed. March 18th, 2026

A new survey says that Canadians are growing tired of tipping. In fact, some want the practice to be abolished altogether. Where do you stand on that debate? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today's Question of the Day. Meantime, the Bank of Canada has held its principal interest rate at 2.25 percent. However, BOC Governor Tiff Macklem is warning that an uptick in oil and natural gas prices will push up inflation in the short-term, a reality that we continue to see as the Iran War drags on. We dig deeper with Pedro Antunes, a Principal Economist for Signal 49 Research. Plus, as online regulators grapple with how to handle A.I. chatbots, Britain is hatching a plan to protect consumers from disinformation and deepfakes. How, you may ask? By slapping mandatory labels on A.I. generated content. Shruti Shekar, the editor-in-chief of Android Central, pays us a visit in Hour 3.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Wed. March 18th, 2026

As of right now, only two supervised consumption sites remain in Canada’s Capital. But as of June 13th, there will be none. Earlier this week, the Ford government announced that funding for Ottawa Inner City Health and the Sandy Hill Community Health Centre would be cut off within the next 90 days. In fact, both sites could shutter their doors before the deadline has passed. Kristy Cameron checks in with Ian Culbert, the Executive Director of the Canadian Public Health Association. But first, we take a gander at what’s been happening in Cuba over the past few days. On Monday, the country’s electrical grid collapsed, plunging 11 million residents into darkness. On Tuesday, Cuban officials reported that the country had been reconnected. But for Cuban Canadians, the mission to connect with relatives has been very challenging. We dig deeper with Ottawa resident Eugenio Landeiro Reyes, who is a member of the Cuban Canadians Coalition.
