Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Tues. February 24th, 2026

February 24, 2026

A planned referendum in Alberta this October is receiving vocal discontent from both separatist and anti-separatist camps. In previous eras of Canadian history, we have also seen separatist waves pop up in Quebec. And we are seeing it again right now. How are you feeling, as a Canadian, on these two movements? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. In local news, Planned Parenthood Ottawa has reopened following a 3-month hiatus. Lyra Evans, the program’s interim Executive Director, pays us a visit in Hour 3. And looking South of the border, U.S. President Donald Trump will be delivering his State Of The Union Address later tonight. CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent says some special guests will be in attendance, including the Men’s National Hockey Team that just won Olympic Gold.
