Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Mon. August 18th, 2025
August 18, 2025
The feds have intervened in the Air Canada flight attendants’ strike, and their attempts to halt further disruptions appear to have fallen on deaf ears. Did they use their political bullets too soon, or was their timing correct? Guest host Andrew Pinsent does a vibe-check of the CFRA textboard in Hour 3, as we tackle today’s Question of the Day. Plus, it’s a Monday afternoon, which means it’s time to talk politics with our Political Heat Panel. And as we keep our sights squarely on the Air Canada disruptions, we can’t overlook a pivotal federal byelection in Battle River-Crowfoot. Will it save or sink Pierre Poilievre’s political future?

The Law Society of Alberta has disbarred lawyer John Carpay, a conservative legal activist and president of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms who in 2021 helped arrange the undercover surveillance of a top Manitoba judge.

The Justice Centre lost and an appeal is underway at the Federal Court of Appeal.
