Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Wed. April 29th, 2026

Prime Minister Carney calls the state of 24 Sussex Drive an ‘embarrassment’, as the back-and-forth to decide its long-term future continues. But does he plan to do anything about it?

Plus, we examine the latest modern-day drama with CFRA pop culture savant Emma Kelly.
