VKS: "It's not funny anymore" - Former Canadian Ambassador to the US 

Will he stay or will he go? Many are waiting to see if PM Justin Trudeau will take his walk in the snow. CFRA's Andy Pinsent discusses the issue with Kristy. Also, we replay Kristy's earlier conversation with a university professor on how close to 51% of Ottawa schools are either under-capacity or overcrowded.

Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Wed. December 18th, 2024

Our Question of the Day: "How do you feel about automatic tax filing?" The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is against it, as are many of the listeners. We also heard from Canadians for Tax Fairness' executive director Katrina Miller who believes it would be a great idea, citing that somewhere between 7 to 12 percent of Canadians don't file, and thus miss out on billions of dollars in benefits. Later, the Richmond Co-operative Nursery School is about to lose its provincial funding because it never signed up for the national $10 a day childcare program. Kristy speaks with the president of the nursery school.
