Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Fri. July 31st, 2026

July 31, 2026

Over $735,000 has been donated to restore 24 Sussex Drive as of July 27th. Prime Minister Carney announced plans to renovate the official residence just over a month ago. And since then, donations have been rolling in from over 3,000 Canadians. The average amount per Canadian is $220, but the Rideau Hall Foundation is hoping to collect more. And by more, we are talking $50 million. Would you donate to renovate 24 Sussex? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, the fallout from the Canada Day flooding continues, as all remaining shows for 2026 have been cancelled at Centerpointe’s Meridian Theatres. The theatre is part of Ben Franklin Place, which was significantly impacted by the July 1st downpour earlier this month. According to City Staff, water infiltration caused ‘considerable damage’ to several areas of the facility – from the main theatre stage, to the orchestra pit, to a grand piano, to front rows of seating. In Hour 3, we check in with J.T. Morris, the Managing Director of the Ottawa-based Orpheus Musical Theatre.

Carney said at the time : “This will make a difference to hard-pressed Canadians, but it is part of a much bigger set of measures that this government is taking to ensure that we fight against climate change, that our...

Islam remains the most negatively viewed faith in Canada, but opinion of Judaism fell furthest over 15 months, according to a new national survey. Jack Jedwab, president of the Association for Canadian Studies, which commissioned the Leger survey, said in an email that “the biggest change is in views toward Judaism.” Twenty-six per cent of Canadians said their opinion of Islam was positive and 50 per cent said it was negative, the only faith tested where more people were negative than positive. In March 2025, when Leger last asked the same questions, the split was 30 per cent positive...
