Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Fri. February 28th, 2025
February 28, 2025
Back in January, Ottawa’s largest school board was mulling over a series of program restructurings. If approved, they would leave five alternative schools and various programs in the rearview mirror. Today, word has spread like wildfire that the OCDSB is now considering major boundary changes to its elementary schools, which would lead to another difficult decision for parents and students to make. Matt Day, for example, is the parent of a child who is currently attending Kanata Highlands Public School. If these plans are approved, his daughter will have to change schools. He joined Kristy Cameron in Hour 2 to vent his frustrations. This hour, OCDSB Trustee Lyra Evans outlines the school board’s reasoning for these controversial moves. Meantime, Americans who are living the Canadian lifestyle are growing more and more frustrated with their current President. According to immigration lawyers, a healthy chunk of that demographic is willing to give up their U.S. citizenship, with a 50 percent surge likely not serving as the peak of that anger. And after watching Donald Trump’s documented spat with Ukraine’s President earlier today, it’s easy to see why. What was going through your mind as you watched that verbal exchange unfold? Kristy Cameron tackles today’s Question of the Day.
