Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. August 13th, 2026

We have got an interesting story out of The Trillium today, as Ford’s Progressive Conservatives were allegedly spying on now-former Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie during her Jamaican beach vacation. This happened while she was leading the Ontario Liberals – a role that she vacated earlier this year. Charlie Pinkerton joins us with the latest developments in Hour 2. And in this week’s edition of the Reality Check Panel, we tackle Ottawa’s severe flooding this Summer, an uptick in e-scooter injuries, and Premier Ford’s upcoming visit to Canada’s Capital.
