Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Wed. February 11th, 2026

Thousands of Canadians remain in Cuba, and in limbo, as the country continues to battle energy shortages. Air Canada, WestJet, and Air Transat officials have indefinitely suspended all flights to Cuba, with all 3 airlines now organizing a return plan for stranded passengers. Joining the show in Hour 3 is Aylmer resident Steve Chapman, who is among the crowd of stranded travellers waiting for a flight home. And in local news, Ottawa City Council is directing OC Transpo to examine refund options for inconvenienced transit riders. CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent has the latest on that.
