Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Fri. August 21st, 2026

Last hour, we told you that 4 incumbent city councillors didn’t have an opponent for October’s municipal election. That number has been cut in half – with 2 councillors standing alone. One of those remaining councillors is River Ward councillor Riley Brockington. And unless the official report on Monday says otherwise, he is locked into Ottawa City Hall for 4 more years. He joins guest host Chris Holski in Hour 2. Plus, the U.S. Army is using a massively-hyped unreleased video game as an incentive to keep the troops on board. However, a 4-day pass to play GTA 6 is generating a fair bit of criticism.
