Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Tues. June 10th, 2025

A few months ago, just as U.S. President Trump launched a heated trade war against Canada, an American couple dished out some kindness at a Windsor restaurant. As we head into the Summer months, perhaps it’s time to hug it out again. Recent data has shown that American tourists aren’t visiting Canada as often, with some fearing that they will be greeted with a dose of Canadian toxicity if they cross the border. Quebec’s Eastern Township Tourism is hoping to curb that perception with a new advertising campaign. It features a local hotel clerk warmly hugging an American tourist when he checks in for the night. How do you feel about Americans visiting Canada? Do you have any stories of talking to American tourists? Kristy Cameron sifts through the textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, if you’re a homeowner, prepare to cringe at these next two headlines. The first story originates in Embrun, as multiple homeowners watched a massive flood turn their brand-new investment properties into disaster zones. CTV’s Katelyn Wilson explains where the accountability lies. Spoiler alert: It’s complicated. Plus, an Ottawa man is facing a water bill dilemma after he was charged $1,547 for 2 months of usage. That massive bill was the result of a leak in his home.
