Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Mon. June 1st, 2026

June 1, 2026

Would you pay more in property taxes for better infrastructure? In a letter to Mayor Mark Sutcliffe last week, former city councillor Alex Cullen said that Ottawa’s aging infrastructure is a problem that ‘cannot be responsibly put off any longer’. He notes the average age for Ottawa’s arenas and rinks is 45 years old, while aquatic facilities are an average age of 40 years. And when examining our city’s community centres and fieldhouses, the data points to an average age of 39 years old. Cullen joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 3 to outline his stance. Then, we open up the CFRA textboard and take your calls on today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is calling for an emergency debate on the status of Canada’s economy, and where it could be headed as the Summer Break approaches. The country has slipped into what some economists would call a ‘technical recession’, as Statistics Canada has reported a noticeable GDP decline over two straight quarters. Poilievre says the Prime Minister’s policies are to blame, and says there is nothing technical about an increase in food bank usage. Is it time for Canada to have that difficult conversation? We dig deeper with our Political Heat Panel.

Just four weeks later, in August 2025, Ryoo saw a dermatologist. .entry-content > figure:nth-child(2) { display: block !important; } This...

As a child, I loved summer rain only as much as its worms on the driveway, on the sidewalk, on the road where cars passed until the next morning, which would be sunny and dry and full of bodies. As if umbilical, two worms could be born— I had learned from classmates—by snipping one in half. So I too conducted no great experiment, only easy cruelty, my heart a knotted spool. Boneless and blind as a needle, needy and pink, worms have five hearts and live best unseen. On days purified by rain, I watch them thread out of black soil, scolding you aren’t meant for this world with the knife of...

Child’s Play In “Leave the Kids Alone” (March/April), Simon Lewsen argues that we are helicopter-parenting children, who are not in as much danger as parents perceive, and that they in fact benefit from being empowered, age appropriately, to navigate life’s challenges. In Winnipeg, from age nine onward, my classmates and I all took city buses to school, and we thought nothing of taking those same buses across town after school. And then home again, after dark, in the winter. By contrast, I now often pull up behind a school bus dropping off a child right in front of their house, and the...
