You’ve heard of the Buy Canadian movement, but a ByWard Market café is now calling on Canadians to drink Canadian, as the Canada-USA trade war continues. Le Moulin de Provence posted a video on social media this week, crossing out Americano on its coffee menu and renaming it ‘Canadiano’. They are also rolling out a new coffee called ‘Lake Ontario’ – a response to an executive order from U.S. President Trump to turn Lake Ontario into ‘Lake America’. Nicholas Bonnet is the Operations Manager at Le Moulin de Provence. He joins guest host Austin Lee on Ottawa Now.

If elected next month, Ottawa mayoral candidate Alex Lawson is promising to rip up on-street parking meters and offer free parking on City of Ottawa streets. He unveiled his plan earlier this morning with a short-and-sweet tagline: Stop feeding the meter. According to Lawson’s plan, no on-street meter will be spared, and the parking reserve fund will be used to remove every single one of them. In the latest City of Ottawa Parking Services Report, the municipality managed 4,337 on-street parking spaces in 2025. It collected $9.78 million in revenue from these spaces, while it cost $7.42 million to maintain and operate them throughout the year. Lawson joins guest host Austin Lee on Ottawa Now.
