Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. November 13th, 2025

A curious-looking information box on the city’s website has generated plenty of conversation this week. It allows residents to make a personal or corporate contribution if they so choose, with city programs and services benefiting from these cash injections.

Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, the first wave of Ottawa Police body cameras has officially hit Ottawa’s streets. CTV’s Tyler Fleming delivers a sneak peek of how Thursday’s launch went. Plus, an American liqueur brand has moved part of its production line to Montreal amid the Canada-U.S. trade war.
