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.

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.

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.
