Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Mon. December 1st, 2025

Black Friday has come and gone. Cyber Monday has arrived. The holiday deals, for now, are still here. But in the middle of a testy trade war with America, are Canadians prioritizing today’s holiday bargains over patriotism? Andrew Pinsent, filling in for Kristy Cameron, tackles today’s Question of the Day. And don’t worry, we won’t judge you if you took the best deals. Meantime, a fictional quote from a Canadian satirical staple somehow made its way onto a Time Magazine article. The Beaverton’s Clare Blackwood and Ian McIntyre pay us a visit in Hour 3. Plus, we tackle the latest round of pipeline politics with our Political Heat Panel.
