Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. November 27th, 2025

A petition with over 44,000 signatures is calling for today’s politicians to be held accountable if they say something false. Liberal MP Karim Bardeesy is sponsoring the motion, and will be presenting it to the House of Commons. He joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 3. Then, we turn things over to the CFRA textboard, as we tackle today’s Question of the Day. Should it be illegal for politicians to spew lies, no matter how big or how small? Text into the show or give us a ring! Meantime, a Canadian anti-trafficking hotline says it received a record number of calls in 2024, with sex-related calls forming the majority. We sift through the data with Julia Drydek, the Executive Director of the Canadian Centre To End Human Trafficking. Plus, as the Alberta government puts pen to paper on a pipeline MOU, Canada’s former Energy Minister has resigned from Carney’s Cabinet. And according to initial reports, those two events are connected. CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent has more on that.
