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

Less than 2 months away from Christmas Day, Mark Carney says he’s prepared to fight an election if he has to. As the afternoon gives way to the night sky, Canada’s Prime Minister is putting the finishing touches to a highly-anticipated federal budget, which will be released tomorrow. Losing the budget vote would plunge Canada into another election – six months after Canadian voters chose Carney as the country’s new leader.
