Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Mon. July 7th, 2025

July 7, 2025

Have you ever stumbled across a TV show called Extreme Couponing? It’s commonly showcased on TLC, as TV crews follow Americans during their coupon-clipping rituals. It lasted for 4 seasons, airing from 2010 to 2012. And their skills were capable of turning a grocery bill of $700, to serve as one example, into just $100. On occasion, the couponer was actually owed money from the store they shopped at! Since the 1990s, however, it has fizzled into a lost art. But that could soon change, as a modern-day economy filled with inflation and tariffs could spark a comeback for the ages. Kristy Cameron digs deeper with Dee Debarros, who is one half of the ‘Coupon Couple’ blog. Meantime, Ontario's Ministry of Education has officially taken over Ottawa's largest school board, locking out trustees out of their own email accounts. CFRA's Andrew Pinsent delivers the details just before the 3 o'clock newscast. Later in the program, we will also hear from Ottawa Centre MPP Catherine McKenney. But first, it's time to bring you up to speed on today's top headlines.

In March of 2024, a middle-aged man was having a cigarette outside his Surrey, B.C., social housing complex when he noticed Jae Won Lee, a 23-year-old Australian-born permanent resident of Canada, lifting the cover off another resident’s motorcycle. The man approached Lee to ask what he was doing, to which Lee replied, “Mind your own business, old man.”Lee then pulled out a knife with a six-inch blade and stabbed the man’s arm before chasing him into the building’s lobby, where he stabbed him in the abdomen.
