Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Wed. June 3rd, 2026

It’s hard to stay at a park and cheer for your kid’s little-league team when nature calls, especially when there’s no bathroom to relieve yourself. In fact, in any outdoor situation with no restroom, that is not a pleasant thought to think of. The City of Ottawa has tried to answer that call by deploying some porta-potties to city parks. However, critics say more action needs to be taken. Do Ottawa’s public parks need more bathrooms? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, the review of Canada’s agreement with USA and Mexico is just weeks away. It will be up for review – oddly enough – on Canada Day. And ahead of July 1st, Canada is now under new tariff pressure from its American counterparts, as the White House threatens a 10 percent tariff on Canada and other countries. U.S. President Trump is accusing those countries of not doing enough to halt forced-labour products from entering the North American supply chain. In Hour 3, we bring in David Paterson, who is Ontario's Trade Representative in Washington.
