The Morning Rush - Jason Burggraaf - January 3, 2025

Now that public servants are returning to Ottawa’s Downtown Core in bigger numbers, parking is going to be an even bigger hot commodity. That being said, it’s also important to keep your head on a swivel. Case and point: An alleged parking scam that is leaving people out thousands of dollars. CTV’s Katelyn Wilson investigates further in Hour 4. Then, we preview tonight’s CTV Ottawa supper-hour newscast with Stefan Keyes. And if news breaks in real time, you’ll hear it live on CFRA’s Ottawa Now.

Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Tues. August 18th, 2026

We are hours away from Trump’s latest tariff deadline. Canadian officials are in Washington – hard at work and doing everything in their power to avoid a worst-case scenario. Is ‘no deal’ the best play that Canada can make? Have we used up all our leverage against Trump already? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Then, we talk property taxes and a wide range of municipal issues with mayoral candidate Jeff Leiper.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Tues. August 18th, 2026

As the application deadline looms large in this year’s Municipal Election race, fewer people are running for school board trustee positions here in Ottawa. In fact, in other areas of Ontario, a similar pattern is emerging. Why is that? CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 2. Meantime, are you feeling like you’re running on empty, but you can’t seem to slow down? It’s more than just feeling tired after an exhausting week. It’s a profound, systemic exhaustion that steals your motivation, your patience, and your joy. In this week’s installment of Self-Help Tuesday with psychotherapist Benslyne Avril, we delve deep into the quiet epidemic of burnout. Plus, we have more disturbing developments out of Smiths Falls, as a third set of remains has been uncovered by OPP officers. CFRA’s Chris Holski delivers the latest developments.
