PODCAST: The Daily Review for Thurs. January 9th, 2025

In Hour 4, we replay an earlier conversation that was shared between Kristy Cameron and Dr. Alan Drummond. In a recent op-ed, he is calling for hospitals to adopt a better strategy when an active shooter is on the loose, arguing that staff members and patients are extremely vulnerable under the current protocols. Meantime, Justin Trudeau was spotted on American television this afternoon. In his chat with CNN, the soon-to-be former Prime Minister reacted to Trump’s ’51st State’ proposal and Canada’s potential counter-tariffs. We get the details from CFRA’s Chris Holski.

Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. January 9th, 2025

It appears that Canada is throwing the kitchen sink (tariff) if incoming American President Donald Trump follows through with his tariffs on Canadian goods. That is, of course, just one of many items. Are we picking the right items to target America’s biggest voice? Kristy Cameron tackles today’s Question of the Day. In local news, Hintonburg residents fear that a safer supply clinic is doing more harm than good. More specifically, they fear that crime rates are going up. Kitchissippi councillor Jeff Leiper joins the show in Hour 3.
