Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Wed. December 11th, 2024

A growing number of powerful political voices are calling on Prime Minister Trudeau to drop the ‘nice guy act’ with U.S. President-Elect Donald Trump. How should the feds respond if the American tariffs come knocking? Kristy Cameron does a vibe check of the mighty CFRA Nation in Hour 3, as we tackle today’s Question of the Day. Speaking of the feds, TikTok is challenging the government’s order to shut down operations in Canada. If the Trudeau Liberals proceed with their plan, the social media giant says hundreds of jobs will be eliminated and Canadian advertising clients could jump ship at a rapid rate. Tech analyst Carmi Levy has more on that.
