Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Tues. March 31st, 2026

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is calling on the federal and provincial governments to lift the fuel taxes. You know, because gas is so expensive these days. Should the government cut gas taxes to provide relief for Canadians? By how much? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, the new GM of OC Transpo plans to connect with the media at a later date, but he wants to evaluate the current state of Ottawa’s transit system before he does any talking. But over the past few days, questions have been swirling as to what happened during his previous gig, and how his transit legacy is being remembered in Toronto. We dig deeper in Hour 3 with Vincent Puhakka, the Co-Chair of the Campaigns Committee at TTC Riders.
