Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Wed. July 29th, 2026

The Ottawa Police Service is expanding its use of body-worn cameras – a move that comes nearly a full year after a batch of 30 cameras were deployed. OPS Staff-Sergeant Devon Archer pays us a visit in Hour 2. Then, we shift gears back to our top story, as the Ontario government might be having a change of heart on its previous approval of the Alto high-speed rail project. Kristy Cameron checks in with Phil Mount, the Vice-President of Policy for the National Farmers Union. They represent thousands of farming families and agricultural workers across the country. And in case you are wondering, they do not support the Alto project.
