Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Tues. August 5th, 2025
August 5, 2025
In the latest update to a labour dispute that has dragged on for nearly one year, CUPW members have rejected the latest offer by Canada Post, who maintain that will be the last offer they are sending to their employees. Once again, the company's loudest critics are questioning their present-day existence, and whether they can survive this labour dispute by making zero changes to their current model. That brings us to a similar-sounding Question of the Day. What changes should be made at Canada Post to ensure its survival? Is this the end of Canada Post as we know it today? And before a resolution is reached, will the feds have to intervene? Text into the show and let us know. Meantime, variations of 'distraction thefts' are targeting Canadian seniors from all angles. CTV's Katie Griffin explains how one of these victims got exposed. Plus, business owners at the Richmond Road Plaza are alleging that a nearby construction project is limiting customer access to their stores. Alaa Kiki, the owner of Kiki Barber Shop, pays us a visit in Hour 3.
