Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. June 4th, 2026

A new nationally-syndicated show is launching on CFRA tomorrow afternoon, which you can hear every single Friday on the iHeartRadio Talk Network from Noon until 2PM. And it’s being hosted by a familiar voice. We check in with CTV’s Graham Richardson in Hour 2. Over the next decade, the City of Ottawa is grappling with a multi-million-dollar gap in the infrastructure budget. From bumpy roads and crumbling recreation centres, to Ottawa’s arenas and pools, the repair bill is getting bigger and bigger each year. And now, city councillors are debating potential solutions, as an infrastructure levy is being tossed around the table. Some like it, but others are opposed. Do we need it? We tackle that topic, as well as the renoviction debate, with our Reality Check Panel.
