Do you remember the story of how Carleton University was about to get a bridge across the Rideau River, and then it got delayed, and then it got delayed again, and now they finally have it? Well, a pedestrian bridge across that same river in Ottawa’s East End is in need of major repairs. And guess where that bridge is connected to? Yep, it’s the University of Ottawa. CFRA’s Chris Holski has the latest. Later in Hour 4, we bring you up to speed on today's top headlines, starting with an update on the Trillium Line. Spoiler alert: We still don't have a Grand Opening date. However, a technical briefing is expected in the 'coming weeks'. Hooray? Plus, Ottawa Public Health is urging everyone to update their vaccinations as the temperatures drop. Dr. Vera Etches spreads the word.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. October 31st, 2024

On Wednesday, the Doug Ford government unveiled Ontario’s 2024 Fall Economic Statement. The province’s deficit for 2024-2025, according to this report, has shrunk by $3.3 billion since the fiscal budget was delivered earlier this year. Furthermore, the expectation is that the deficit will flip to a larger-than-expected surplus within the next 2 years. Kristy Cameron sifts through the numbers with Brian Lewis, a Senior Fellow at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. Sticking with provincial matters, CUPE and the Ontario Health Coalition are voicing their concerns with a new idea that the province could explore. It all comes back to the possibility of Queen’s Park issuing new licenses to for-profit clinics, a recent objective that would privatize hospital surgeries. CUPE President Michael Hurley explains further in Hour 2.
