Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Fri. March 21st, 2025

We still don’t have a confirmed date for the upcoming federal election, but Prime Minister Carney says it will either be April 28th or May 5th. Sources say his final decision will be made by Sunday morning, as he prepares to visit the Governor General’s office and drop the writ. What is the primary election issue for you right now? In the grand scheme of things, what could it be? And if it all boils down to which party leader is best equipped to handle the Trump administration, which political party should our country choose? Kristy Cameron sifts through the textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Speaking of Canada’s Prime Minister, he’s got an important meeting with the Canadian Premiers this afternoon, with tariffs and inter-provincial trade barriers top of mind. And as our country’s economy deals with ever-changing economic hurdles, largely fueled by America’s biggest voice, limited profitability and inefficient business is the last thing we need. Joining us in Hour 3 is Will Roman, the General Manager of Rosewood Estates Winery in Lincoln, Ontario.
