Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Fri. October 30th, 2026

As discussed earlier in today’s program, a new Léger poll commissioned by several right-leaning think tanks reveals that long wait times are pushing half of all Canadians to skip seeing a doctor or visiting a hospital. In Hour 3, Kristy Cameron chats with Andrew Enns, the Executive Vice-President of the Central Canada chapter of Leger. Then, she opens the floor to the mighty CFRA Nation, as we tackle today’s Question of the Day. Do you fall into this category? Plus, we go 1-on-1 with Cameron Wales, the newly-elected Mayor of Brockville. He won Monday’s election in a decisive landslide, capturing nearly 68 percent of the vote to capture the city’s biggest seat. He had previously served two terms as a Brockville city councillor.
