Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Fri. August 8th, 2025
August 8, 2025
The idea of a floating sauna might seem obscure, but it’s not a brand-new thought. Montreal has one. So does Tofino and Victoria – a pair of well-known cities in British Columbia. And here in Ottawa, the NCC might be getting in on the action, as they ponder a potential addition to the River House. Are you on board? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, an economic think-tank is calling on the Carney Liberals to slash 64,000 public service jobs. The Montreal Economic Institute is urging the feds to take inspiration from former Prime Minister Jean Chretien, who also represented the Liberals in Canada’s biggest role. His administration reduced the size of the public service by 17 percent over a 5-year period. Joining the show in Hour 3 to explain further is Renaud Brossard, the MEI’s Vice-President of Communications.
