Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. August 14th, 2025

August 14, 2025

This isn't the first time that Canadian travellers have had to navigate around a potential Air Canada service disruption. However, if flight attendants walk off the job on Saturday, it could be the straw that breaks the back of a frustrated camel. Ottawa resident Marissa Kerr is currently stranded with her mother in Paris, France. John, a 580 CFRA listener, is hoping to catch an Air Canada flight to Tampa Bay for a weekend wedding, a flight that will be grounded if Saturday's disruption proceeds. Both join Kristy Cameron in Hour 1. Continuing with the bad news theme, Kristy's Summer Hit List is nearing its conclusion. Cue the world's saddest violin. But not before airing a handful of recap segments! You'll be hearing Part 1 later this hour, and Part 2 during Friday's programming. But first, it's time to bring you up to speed on today's top headlines.
