Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Fri. April 26th, 2024
April 26, 2024
On Thursday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau were both on hand to commemorate a landmark EV announcement. Honda has committed to pouring in $15 billion for a quartet of manufacturing plants in one of Canada’s biggest provinces. While this plan seems like a game-changer on the surface, a lot of this depends on public trust. Some Canadians are still skeptical about electric vehicles, as the sales of such vehicles have decreased over the past 2 years. Kristy Cameron digs deeper with Josipa Petrunic, who is the CEO of the Canadian Urban Transit Research and Innovation Consortium. And sticking with the daily commute, here’s a question for you. Have you ever been rudely interrupted by an obnoxiously loud car that blows past you for no reason? If the answer is ‘yes’, have you ever wondered why people do that? We try to get some answers in Hour 1.
