Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. October 2nd, 2025

October 2, 2025

Back in 2019, the Ford government gave Ontario municipalities permission to use speed cameras. Six years later, it’s attempting to ban those cameras, whether it’s the easy way or the hard way.

Later in Hour 2, we hear from Beacon Hill-Cyrville councillor Tim Tierney, as he hopes for a similar pushback in Canada’s Capital. Meantime, obesity has been a worldwide problem for many years. And here in Canada, new data suggests that things have gotten even worse since COVID hit. We sift through the stats with Dr. Michael Vallis, an Associate Professor in Family Medicine at Dalhousie University. Plus, a local MP is expected to table a private members bill in the House of Commons next week, calling for an official end to the biannual time changes. CFRA’s Chris Holski has the latest scoop.

Smyth, told The Globe and Mail that the Air Force has been preparing for the Golden Dome as part of its work to shore up Canada’s military presence in the Arctic and modernize North American air defences.

Tuesday’s fraud convictions of a former senior hospital executive and a former Toronto construction boss were the culmination of a four-year police investigation and 24 days of court testimony. But for The Globe and Mail, the St. Michael’s Hospital procurement scandal began more than a decade ago with the delivery of four brown envelopes. In June, 2015, four Globe journalists received identical letters in their mail slots urging reporters to ask questions about a recent decision by St. Michael’s and Infrastructure Ontario to award a $300-million contract to Bondfield Construction Co. Ltd...
