Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. August 27th, 2026

Should the name of Ottawa’s Trump Avenue be changed? If so, to what? Guest host Chris Holski sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, Canada needs to be doing more to attract some of America’s top minds. And as the United States wages economic warfare on us, perhaps one of the best ways we can fight back is by taking part of the American economy that the White House is already turning its back on. That prized amount of real estate is knowledge – it innovates and it creates opportunities. Today, the feds announced that 64 top researchers, including many who are leaving America behind, are coming to Canadian universities. Professor Jennifer Spence is one of them, departing Harvard University to be the Eddie Goldenberg Research Chair of Canada in Arctic Governance and Community Resilience. She joins the show in Hour 3. Plus, as we start to prepare for the Fall winds, the time to plant your late-season veggies is probably now. We check in with gardening expert Carson Arthur. And finally, someone is trying to resurrect the old Twitterverse, but Holski doesn’t want any part of it.
