Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Mon. February 9th, 2026

Last Friday, the Carney government announced that public servants will be ordered back to their workspaces 4 days a week, effective July of this year. A few days later, Carleton MP Bruce Fanjoy is calling on his own party to reconsider its directive. Should they stay the course, or should they debate it? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, new data from the Angus Reid Institute shows that two-thirds of Albertans would vote to stay in Canada, or at least lean that way. That still means a considerable amount of people would vote to leave. What do we make of these findings? We pose that question to our Political Heat Panel in Hour 3.
