Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. February 20th, 2025

North America’s deeply-integrated Auto industry is more likely to shut down than operate within a tense North American trade environment, a world in which 25 percent tariffs is slapped on parts and vehicles entering U.S. markets. That’s according to Flavio Volpe, the President of the Automotive Parts Manufacturers’ Association. He joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 2. Shifting gears to the world of comedy, the NAC will be hosting a unique performance this Saturday night, and it’s a showcase you don’t want to miss. It features Canadian comedian Colin Mochrie and master hypnotist Asa Mecci, as they create a world in which comedy and hypnosis collide. They explain how it works. And in the wide world of sports, there’s a big hockey game tonight, as Team Canada searches for redemption against Team USA at the 4 Nations Faceoff. The winner gets some prize money. The loser’s anthem probably gets booed.
