Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Mon. February 16th, 2026

Friends, family, politicians, colleagues, and thousands of listeners. All of them have gathered, in some way, to remember the life and legacy of a CFRA icon. Longtime radio host Lowell Green took his final breaths on Saturday at the age of 89, leaving behind a legacy that will go on for decades. Throughout his lengthy career in the Radio business, he spoke his mind and he pulled no punches, even if you didn’t like his two cents on the day’s hottest topics. Kristy Cameron shares your memories of the man who created the ‘Island of Sanity’. Then, we hear from Sam Green, who is one of Lowell Green’s granddaughters. Plus, Prime Minister Carney has tabbed Janice Charette to be Canada’s top trade negotiator during the upcoming CUSMA review. A career bureaucrat, Charette has displayed a number of strengths, and her steady demeanor suggests that she won’t be bothered by any White House ‘belligerence’. We dig deeper with our Political Heat Panel.
