Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Tues. February 10th, 2026

Last week, OC Transpo released a memo that revealed a decline in bus reliability, particularly during the last week of January. Atisa Khalaj, who is studying Journalism and Political Science at Carleton University, has spent many hours waiting in the frigid cold, only for her bus to no-show. One day, she reached her breaking point, and vented her frustrations on Instagram. She joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 2. Meantime, U.S. President Donald Trump went on another Truth Social tirade against Canada last night, threatening to block the opening of the brand-new Gordie Howe Bridge. Connecting Windsor to Detroit, it was first approved by Trump himself during his first tenure as U.S. President, and it was labeled as one of his ‘priority projects’. That was back in 2017. We dig deeper with Alex Greco, a Senior Director of Manufacturing and Value Chains at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. Plus, the Mayor of North Grenville is once again arguing in favour of remote work for public employees, a puzzling decision in the eyes of many due to the community’s continued growth. Most of that growth is largely thanks to the town’s close proximity to Canada’s Capital. CFRA’s Chris Holski has more on that.
