Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Mon. March 23rd, 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. Are you satisfied with the present-day direction of the Ontario government? Do you like the recent steps they have taken? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, as the Iran War continues into Week 4, gas prices are still going up. In fact, they could reach $1.80 per litre by the end of the week. How is that impacting local businesses? Joining us in Hour 3 is Baudouin St-Cyr, the Executive Director of Meals On Wheels Ottawa. Plus, it’s a Monday afternoon, which means it’s time to talk politics with our Political Heat Panel.
