Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. September 4th, 2025

September 4, 2025

A new report from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives is examining how much someone would need to earn on an hourly basis in order to rent an apartment. 62 cities were the focus of this study, with Toronto and Vancouver topping the crowd when it comes to unaffordable housing. So where does Canada’s Capital rank? For Q1 of 2025, the average asking rent for vacant rental units was $2,010 for a 1-bedroom apartment. If you’re looking for a 2-bedroom unit, the average was $2,490 back then. Kristy Cameron digs through the data with Dean Tester in Hour 1. He is an advocate for Make Housing Affordable, a non-profit organization. Switching gears to something entirely different, a brand-new NFL season starts tonight, and the league is looking for a Super Bowl Halftime performer. In light of Taylor Swift’s recent engagement to football star Travis Kelce, do we already have a winner? Music expert Eric Alper outlines who should be the top-tier candidates for the Winter spectacle. But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines.
