Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Wed. October 15th, 2025

U.S. President Trump said he was coming for Canada's Auto industry, and he definitely wasn't joking. On Wednesday, it took another massive gut-punch after Stellantis announced plans to move its Jeep production plant from Brampton to Illinois. The company is investing $13 billion into the United States, a decision that has sparked tons of anger all across America's next-door neighbour. Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown says the news is devastating, and will deeply affect Canada's local industries. Kristy Cameron chats with Vito Beato, the President of UNIFOR Local 1285. They represent the hard-working workers at the Brampton plant. Meantime, after a 90-year-old woman fell victim to a case of distraction theft this past August, she is still longing for her stolen wedding ring. That's when a local jeweler stepped in to help out. You'll hear that tear-jerking story in Hour 2.
