Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Fri. July 18th, 2025

Kristy Cameron is back in the saddle! Meanwhile, city councillors and residents are feeling ‘trapped’ in the city’s East End, as road closures and ramp closures continue to pop up for Stage 2 LRT construction. Some of them are taking place with the snap of a finger, and with very little notice. We dig deeper in Hour 1. Plus, we cool things off with a little bit of soda taste-testing on this fine Friday afternoon. Here to lend their taste buds are Andrew Pinsent, Chris Holski, and Emma Kelly.
