Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Mon. March 9th, 2026

March 9, 2026

Drivers in Ottawa are feeling the ripple effects of the latest conflict in the Middle East, as gas prices sharply spiked this weekend.

To be a “good neighbor and a responsible steward of shared resources” is a noble aspiration for anyone, though a claim that sits awkwardly near the border between North Dakota and Manitoba. Riverview, the Minnesota-based agricultural company that made the statement, is set to test the goal as it adds to its network of mega dairies by building two facilities along the North Dakotan stretch of the Red River before it flows north into Canada.
