Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Mon. August 11th, 2025
August 11, 2025
A recent survey from Angus Reid suggests that more and more Canadians are in favour of mandatory civilian service. This would entail one year of donated time for anyone aged 30-and-under. But when it comes to the idea of military service, that is where Canadians are becoming less keen. This proposal has been adopted by Germany, France, Norway, and a handful of others in recent years. Where do you stand on this idea? If the feds consider this approach, how far should they take it? Guest host Chris Holski sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Later in Hour 3, CTV’s Kimberley Johnson joins the party to talk NCC. One story is not good news for a handful of ByWard Market business owners. The other one might be good news for a certain project at LeBreton Flats. Plus, it’s a Monday afternoon, which means it’s time to talk politics with our Political Heat Panel.

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.
