Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. September 4th, 2025

September 4, 2025

We might be seeing the unofficial end of hybrid work hours within Canada’s public service. And if new data from the Angus Reid Institute tells us anything, people are split on this looming reality. Out of the 1,900 workers that were polled – working in either private, public, or not-for-profit sectors – 45 percent of them supported a full-time return to the office workspace. However, another 43 percent are singing a different tune, either opposing or strongly opposing an end to hybrid work arrangements. Kristy Cameron digs deeper with Jon Roe, a Research Associate with the Angus Reid Institute. He was involved with the writing of the report, as well as the development of the questionnaire. But first, a new report has been released by the CD Howe Institute, detailing student success across Ontario’s school boards. As you might guess by the brief description, they are examining which school boards are outperforming the competition, and which ones are missing the mark. For both of Ottawa’s major school boards, their report cards aren’t too pleasant to look at. We gather instant reaction from David Johnson, a Professor Emeritus of Economics at Wilfrid Laurier University. He is also the author of a report called ‘Signposts of Success: Evaluating Ontario’s Elementary Schools’.
