Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Mon. November 3rd, 2025

More than half of today’s students who attend schools in Ottawa and Toronto don’t have up-to-date immunization records. And according to public health records, both cities are falling behind. Dr. Paul Roumeliotis is the Medical Officer of Health for the Eastern Ontario Health Unit. He joins the program and sifts through the latest numbers. Sticking with Health news, doctors are leaving Quebec in droves over a controversial new law. Bill 2 ties a portion of their pay to performance targets, and it also imposes strict sanctions for non-compliance cases. How strict, you may ask? How about a $20,000 fine for each day a violation is committed. We chat with Dr. Trevor Hennessey, who has recently worked at the Hull Hospital. He is one of 3 doctors who have resigned from their roles at Western Quebec’s Health Authority. Plus, after Kristy tried to give Blue Jays fans a big hug in Hour 1, CFRA’s Chris Holski attempts to do the same in Hour 2. And as a die-hard Habs and 49ers fan, he is no stranger to championship devastation.
