Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Tues. June 16th, 2026

A new Interac survey shows that single Canadians are paying more at grocery checkouts than two-person households. Nearly 8-in-10 Canadians who live alone say their grocery bill keeps climbing, no matter what they do. How much are you spending weekly at the grocery store? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Plus, an Ottawa city councillor wants to incentivize people to recycle their bottles more often, and she’s calling on the province to take action. Alta Vista councillor Marty Carr drops by for a visit in Hour 3.
