Why The Battle Of Vimy Ridge Is At The Core Of Canada’s Identity

Earlier in today’s show, we revisited the cloudy future of a Canadian staple, as Hudson’s Bay prepares for what seems to be its inevitable demise. However, a handful of bidders are trying to save the company. One of them is Canadian Tire. Did you know that CFRA’s Chris Holski called that weeks ago? He joins us in Hour 4 for his ‘told you so’ moment. Plus, we deliver the latest breaking news as it happens, right here on CFRA’s Ottawa Now.

Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. May 1st, 2025

How do you beef up a cellphone ban in a school classroom? You don’t give any exemptions, or hand out any mid-day ‘breaks’. From the start of the day, until the final bell sounds, no students have access to their cellular devices. And it appears the Quebec government is eager to implement this approach as soon as possible. The enforcement of these rules, however, will be decided by each and every school. Should Ontario entertain this full-blown approach as well? Kristy Cameron sifts through the textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Plus, the Battle of Ontario is resuming tonight, as the Ottawa Senators host the Toronto Maple Leafs for Game 6. If the Leafs get the job done, they advance to Round 2 and host the Florida Panthers. If Ottawa survives for a third straight tilt, we have a Game 7 in Toronto on Saturday night. CTV’s Jackie Perez does a Sens Army vibe check from the Canadian Tire Centre, as the team ups the ante with a couple of viewing parties. We also speak to a handful of bars and restaurants in Hour 3, as they prepare for the gameday rush.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. May 1st, 2025

The Ford government is examining involuntarily treatments for drug users, according to a pair of unnamed senior government sources. These mandatory drug treatments, per reports, would be available to addicts on probation, on parole, or in jail. The province has entered the costing process of this idea, and will start talking to the feds about how these measures could be enacted. When asked about her assessment of Premier Ford’s gameplan, NDP Leader Marit Styles says there needs to be more funding for the provincial courts, a must-have measure to keep violent offenders behind bars. We dig deeper with Ian Culbert, the Executive Director of the Canadian Public Health Association. In other news, it might not be curtains for Hudson’s Bay after all. According to the Canadian Press, the legendary Canadian retailer has attracted multiple bids since the company’s liquidation sales took off. One of the bidders is Weihong Liu, a billionaire based in British Columbia. She has placed a bid for 25 Hudson’s Bay outlets, per the Toronto Star. And then, you have Canadian Tire, who has reportedly made offers for some of the department store’s intellectual property. Chiming in with his two cents is David Soberman, a Professor of Marketing at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management.
