Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Fri. March 14th, 2025

In case you missed it, Prime Minister Mark Carney was officially sworn into office this morning. Shortly after the ceremony, he had a phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump, signaling the first of many conversations with America’s Big Cheese during a very tense trade war. And following his own meeting with U.S. officials, Ontario Premier Doug Ford suggested that Carney and Trump will have a 'better' relationship. What approach does Canada’s new leader need to take in order to make this relationship work? Kristy Cameron tackles today’s Question of the Day. And while no Canadian city will be immune to the impact of Trump’s tariffs, some economists say that Canada’s Capital might be better protected than others. We dig deeper with Richard Forbes, a Principal Economist at the Conference Board of Canada. Plus, after spending 11 days in American detention, a 35-year-old B.C. woman is being released by U.S. authorities. According to her family, Jasmine Mooney was caught by I.C.E. officials earlier this month after she attempted to enter America via Mexico. Immigration experts have issued a stern warning to all of America’s visitors, fearing that this case is being used as an example of what the White House will do if others try the same thing. We hear from Len Saunders, an immigration lawyer based in Blaine, Washington.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Fri. March 14th, 2025

A protest against the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board’s elementary school restructuring plan is underway this afternoon. This controversial program review is proposing changes to school boundaries and some specialized programs, as well as French immersion programming and grade structures. Thirty schools and an estimated 11,000 students would be impacted, with some having to switch schools altogether. And in a recent update, Ottawa’s largest school board is planning to take another look at these ideas before a final decision is made in April, as widespread criticism continues to mount. Kristy Cameron chats with Natalee Lewis, a concerned parent who is attending today’s rally at the OCDSB headquarters. Sticking with local news, a controversial 'safer supply' clinic that prescribes opioids to fentanyl users has moved from Hintonburg to Chinatown. And unless the clinic is willing to make changes, Somerset councillor Ariel Troster says they’re not welcome. CTV’s Kimberley Johnson delivers the details in Hour 2.
