Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Wed. July 30th, 2025
July 30, 2025
When it comes to work-issued cellphones, the Canadian government is dialing it back a notch, as it favours computer-based softphones and budget-saving alternatives. Do you use a company phone at your workplace? Why or why not? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Plus, the makers of Chat GPT have rolled out their latest invention. It’s called ‘Chat GPT Agent’, and other A.I. companies are planning to introduce similar tools. It’s a technological tool that is designed to be a virtual ‘personal assistant’. And while it seems like a cool toy at first glance, it’s also raising plenty of questions about reliability and security. Joining us in Hour 3 to address these concerning pitfalls is Sinead Bovell, a Canadian futurist and the founder of a tech education company called WAYE.

The federal government’s decision to lift most retaliatory tariffs on American goods is expected to deliver some relief to consumers, although experts watching the trade war say the “buy Canada” movement may continue to limit demand for U.S. products. Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on Friday that Ottawa will mirror U.S. tariffs by only imposing them on goods that are not compliant with the United States-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, which he said was designed to reset trade negotiations with President Donald Trump. The change will take effect on Sept. 1.
