VKS: What does the Forestry sector want to see in a tariff relief deal?

Another day, another rainstorm battering Canada’s Capital. And for many in the city’s West End, their waking nightmares from the Canada Day floods resurfaced on Wednesday, with water creeping closer and closer to properties yet again. College Ward councillor Laine Johnson joins Kristy Cameron to discuss how her constituents fared. Meantime, the latest storm also knocked out power to thousands of Hydro Ottawa customers. A case of awful luck, or antiquitated infrastructure? We pose that question, and several others, to Hydro Ottawa CEO Bryce Conrad. But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines.
