Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. July 23rd, 2026

We are 22 days deep into the Canada Day flood recovery efforts. DRAO is being rolled out in certain areas by the Ford government, but not everyone in the hardest-hit areas is covered. Today, hundreds are holding out hope, crossing their fingers that much-needed financial help is on the way. And now, more and more politicians are calling on the province to do more. Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Chandra Pasma joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 2. She represents the Ontario NDP at Queen’s Park. Then, the conversation continues with our Reality Check Panel.
