Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Mon. March 23rd, 2026

March 23, 2026

Ontario's Legislature is finally back in session after a 102-day Winter Break. And once we get to Thursday, we’ll have a brand-new Provincial Budget to react to.

Traditionally, stories about the Cree trickster Wîsahkêcâhk are only told when there is snow on the ground, which means, as the planet rapidly warms, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to tell them. Vancouver, where I live, didn’t see a single snowflake until February. So instead of the legend of the creation of the moon, I’ll tell you her name: tipiskâwi-pîsim, night sun. In Anishinaabemowin, she is Nookomis Dibik-Giizis, the revered Grandmother Moon. Though almost every acre on land has been claimed by one nation or another, the moon has been a shared locus of imagination and...
