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

February 16, 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.

We dig deeper with our Political Heat Panel.

When I try to trace back my fascination with dreams, a certain memory pops into my head. I was nine years old, sitting in the kitchen of my childhood home in Oshawa, Ontario. My feet snaked around the legs of a creaky wooden chair. My parents hadn’t renovated the kitchen yet, so I was surrounded by faded blue-flowered wallpaper. I pulled my long hair off my face and tilted my head back. Our German shepherds, Pepper and Spice, circled the room, then paused to take a closer look. My father wrestled with a tangle of colourful wires and a pot of sticky white paste. He consulted an official-...
