Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Fri. April 17th, 2026

Ontario’s Premier has bought a jet. To be more specific, a private jet worth $28.9 million, only to be used for business trips. A lot of people aren’t happy about it. Should the Premier turn it around and give it back? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, the controversial Bubble Bylaw has just received the green light at City Committee. It is designed to prohibit demonstrations within 50 metres of schools, places of worship, childcare centres, hospitals, and residential care facilities. We dig deeper with Ottawa-based lawyer Paul Champ in Hour 3. He is one of the delegates speaking today at the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee.
