Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. July 17th, 2025

Chris Holski is filling in for Kristy Cameron, who is a little under the weather today. Speaking of the weather, Canada's Capital is under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch to start the afternoon. And in recent Summers, we've dealt with a couple of doozy storms. Do they peak your curiosity, or do they simply scare the daylight out of you? Environment Canada meteorologist Ian Hubbard joins the program in Hour 1 with his thoughts, and he delivers an outlook of what Ottawa is dealing with right now. Plus, do you remember Quebec's restaurant no-show fees? They've been talked about for a few years, and now they are officially in place. CFRA's Andrew Pinsent fills us in.
