Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Fri. May 16th, 2025

Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe says he plans to support the future pursuits of a ‘bubble bylaw’. This idea would restrict demonstrations near certain community spaces, a list that ranges from schools and hospitals to places of worship. Barrhaven West councillor David Hill joins the program with his two cents on the subject. Meantime, as another potential labour dispute looms overhead, the Industrial Inquiry Commission recommends that Canada Post phase out daily door-to-door mail delivery. This would mostly impact deliveries for individual addresses, as well as daily letter mail. And when it comes to business deliveries, they argue that those should be maintained and monitored. Marvin Ryder, an Associate Professor at McMaster University, gives us a ring in Hour 2.
