00:00Tonight, how much will those cuts the Prime Minister is calling for?
00:06I think it will impact a lot of people that come here to Ottawa.
00:09That's the experience they want.
00:10That's sad. You should cut somewhere else and leave these alone.
00:13Be felt right here.
00:15The potential impact of a budget overhaul in this government town.
00:20With his emotional parents in the courtroom,
00:22a 17-year-old charged in the attack on an 8-year-old girl in Quadville
00:26makes an appearance in Pembroke.
00:30And cut.
00:31We all keep coming back to this man because we know we've got a good haircut.
00:34Putting a wrap on seven decades' worth of trims, shaves and chats with loyal customers,
00:40this Ottawa barbershop leaving the city's oldest mall.
00:52Good evening.
00:53We begin tonight with new details about how far-reaching Prime Minister Mark Carney's spending cuts will be
00:58as he aims to find $25 billion in savings over the next three years.
01:03In addition to asking every federal department to cut spending,
01:06Crown corporations will also have to find significant savings,
01:09which could result in job losses here in Ottawa.
01:13Mark Carney is asking Cabinet ministers and federal agencies to find 7.5% in savings the next fiscal year.
01:19That increases to 10% in 27-28 and then to 15% in three years' time.
01:26CTV's Dylan Dyson has more on the potential impacts of this savings plan.
01:30Dylan.
01:31Patricia, Ottawa is a government town, so that means many of the cuts Carney is calling for
01:36will be felt here, affecting workplaces and services such as the Bank of Canada,
01:40CBC, Via Rail and national museums.
01:43The Canadian Museum of Nature, a busy spot for kids and families this summer.
01:50It was a great experience, something he'd never seen,
01:54and he got to learn a lot about how the dinosaurs evolved, and it was a good experience.
02:00But Don Maitland is worried that impending cuts to federal museums
02:03would have a direct impact on families like his.
02:06I think it would impact a lot of people that come here to Ottawa.
02:09That's the experience they want, is to come here and see this.
02:11If he cuts out, he should cut somewhere else and leave these alone.
02:16The federal government is aiming to find $25 billion in savings over the next three years
02:21and is asking federal departments to come up with a plan to do that.
02:25The Treasury Board president confirming to CTV News,
02:28crown corporations will also have to cut spending.
02:31In a statement, the Treasury Board says,
02:33using a phased approach over the next three years,
02:36organizations will identify savings of up to 15% from their assigned spending base.
02:41This review reflects a return to core responsibilities,
02:44with a clear focus on fiscal discipline, quality service delivery, and long-term economic growth.
02:5015%? That might be doable.
02:54You know, there is some redundancies and savings.
02:57That could mean cutbacks and possibly job losses at places such as the National Gallery,
03:02Via Rail, Statistics Canada, CBC, and the National Capital Commission.
03:07If they're done right, then yes, I approve of all the cuts.
03:10I think the government has to, you know, start with the low-hanging fruit first.
03:14So the very first thing that should happen is end the taxpayer-funded bonuses,
03:18end the pay raises, try to find some savings through attrition.
03:20The public divided on if cuts across the board would make sense, let alone dollars.
03:26To cut via rail? I don't know what they're going to cut,
03:28but is it going to improve it, or is it just going to make the service worse and more expensive
03:33for everybody who's having to pay for the tickets?
03:35I work for the government, but I, you know, also when you work for the government,
03:38you see inefficiencies as well, so I'm not too worried about it.
03:44Now, not every federal agency will be needed to cut 15%.
03:47A lower target of 2% has been given to the Department of National Defence,
03:52Canada Border Services, and the RCMP.
03:54Cabinet ministers will be responsible for reviewing the savings proposals
03:58by the end of the summer before any cuts are officially made.
04:02Patricia?
04:02CTV's Dylan Dyson reporting live for us tonight,
04:05and you can scan the QR code on the bottom of your screen to link to us online
04:08or visit ctvnewsottawa.ca.
04:11We have more details on the potential impacts of the federal government's savings plan.
04:17Well, the teenager accused of attempted murder and sexual assault
04:19in connection with an attack on an 8-year-old girl in Quadville
04:22made a brief court appearance today in Pembroke.
04:25CTV's Katie Griffin was at the courthouse and joins us now with the details.
04:28Katie?
04:28Well, Patricia, we are quite limited in what we can report tonight.
04:32Because of the age of the accused, the teen was expressionless.
04:35His parents were in court to support him today.
04:37They cried when he walked into the prisoner's box.
04:40The 17-year-old, whose identity is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act,
04:45wore burgundy and was in shackles.
04:47He's charged with attempted murder and sexual assault with a weapon on a person under 16.
04:52The teen was arrested last week.
04:54In late June, an 8-year-old girl was left with life-threatening injuries
04:58after what police initially thought could have been an animal attack.
05:02Police say there was no trace of animal DNA found in samples taken from the victim's wounds.
05:08None of the allegations have been tested in court.
05:11And the accused remains in custody.
05:13He's set to return to court next month.
05:15His lawyer saying today that she would not be commenting.
05:18Trisha?
05:18All right.
05:19CTV's Katie Griffin live for us tonight.
05:21Still ahead, a huge sensation on social media, but not so big in real life any longer.
05:28Biggie Small's weight loss journey, pound for pound, you may not find a more inspiring cat.
05:34That story coming up.
05:37Well, taking a live look now through our Centennial Glass Skycam.
05:4124 degrees out there right now.
05:43It has been an up and down and all around kind of day.
05:47We've seen just about every kind of weather.
05:49And I guess they're wondering exactly what it is going to be like out at Blues Fest tonight,
05:54where performances get underway shortly.
05:56Looks pretty good there behind you, Jackie.
05:59How y'all doing today?
06:01You know what?
06:02Everyone's having a blast here.
06:03It came early when the gates opened.
06:05And it's so funny how much a difference just an hour makes.
06:08Hot, humid, and sunny just even an hour ago.
06:11And now the dark clouds have rolled in a lot windier as well.
06:15And we felt a little bit of some, a little bit of drizzle.
06:19But again, it's moving through.
06:21The winds are really heavy right now.
06:22So if you are coming down here, I'd say bring a light jacket.
06:26We had a severe thunderstorm warning and watched earlier today.
06:29The good news is that has since lifted.
06:31The heat warning is still in effect for parts of eastern Ontario.
06:34But I suspect that that will be lifted in the next few hours right now across the region.
06:40Midday, it did feel close to about 10 degrees warmer than the actual temperature.
06:45But now the cooler air has really started to move in from the west.
06:49The gap in humidity no longer a 10 degree difference for parts of the valley as well as Trenton as well.
06:57As we look towards conditions for tonight and into tomorrow, very windy for tonight.
07:02We'll carry over into early Friday.
07:03Lows expected to be around 16 degrees.
07:07And tomorrow we're expecting 24 degrees and sunny conditions.
07:11And yes, we are finally going to get a break from this heat wave.
07:15Though I was kind of hoping selfishly that we would get that for this evening.
07:19But we will be here live on location for the 6 o'clock hour.
07:22But for now, we'll take it back to you in studio ahead of Blues Fest.
07:25Patricia.
07:26All right. Thank you, Jackie.
07:27Police in Smith Falls say warrants have been issued for the arrest of three suspects
07:31wanted in connection with a reported home invasion.
07:33Police say it happened around 7.30 in the morning on July 13th.
07:36One person was found at the home with minor injuries.
07:39Police have arrested one suspect, a 25-year-old woman.
07:43Three suspects remain at large.
07:45A furniture manufacturing plant in Cornwall is set to close its doors after 55 years in business.
07:51Doral Industries says it is eliminating its domestic manufacturing operations at Ridgewood Industries.
07:57The mayor says the closure will impact around 300 people.
08:00The company cited challenges with the U.S. market and competition from overseas.
08:05The facility will close September 19th.
08:08The city of Gatineau has lost its court battle against the National Capital Commission over property taxes for Gatineau Park.
08:15The dispute involves the payment in lieu of taxes paid by the NCC.
08:19Under federal rules, the city is not allowed to tax the federal government.
08:23So, the NCC pays the city an amount equivalent to property taxes.
08:27Gatineau says it was short-changed, but a judge disagreed.
08:30In February, the city of Ottawa also lost its court battle with the federal government over payments in lieu of taxes.
08:36Well, after seven decades and thousands of cuts, a legendary Ottawa barbershop is closing its doors.
08:43And while its owner, now 85, is passing along the business, he's not calling it quits just yet.
08:49Westgate Barbershop first opened up inside the Westgate Shopping Centre in the mid-50s.
08:55CTV's Tyler Fleming has more on its lasting impact on the community.
08:59You should be a bakery shop.
09:01People is nice, beautiful place, busy.
09:04It's where Ramon Carbayuti loves to be.
09:07We come one of the best.
09:09All this time around, people come here.
09:12The Westgate Barbershop, a founding business, at the city's first mall, which opened its doors 70 years ago.
09:19I started working here in 1968.
09:22As a young barber who moved from Spain.
09:25I keep working.
09:26And listen, how you can aid for the people nice to you.
09:29Crafting quality quaffs and building relationships with decades-long clients like Dick Logan.
09:35We all keep coming back to this man because we know we've got a good haircut.
09:38By 1975, Carbayuti combed into partial ownership and for the last quarter century, it's been his.
09:46I never worry about business because business always is good.
09:49What do you worry about?
09:51You try to please the people the best you can.
09:53Obviously, they give a good haircut.
09:55But at the end of July, after 57 years here, the 85-year-old must close the door.
10:01I'm not happy.
10:03I really enjoy here.
10:06The mall shuts for good in October, but the Westgate Barbershop will live on.
10:10I've been working here 27 years.
10:13Huang Vo is taking over the business, which reopens August 5th, just down the road at 1572 Carling Avenue.
10:21Which I think is going to be convenient for a lot of their customers.
10:25And I will continue to go, and it's actually closer to my office.
10:28We have a long-term customer, and we don't feel like a customer anymore.
10:34We just feel like friends.
10:35And Carbayuti, he's not hanging up the scissors quite yet.
10:38And he have a lot of experience, you know, and he doesn't want to stop.
10:42And I ask for him to come to work with us.
10:45That's an honor.
10:47I enjoy people.
10:49That way I don't feel like a good either.
10:51And stepping away at what he loves.
10:53When you have a good one, you stick to it.
10:55Tyler Fleming, CTV News.
10:58Only 85.
10:59Lots more work days to come.
11:01Well, an Ottawa ice cream shop known for giving young customers extra love is serving up a sweet initiative today.
11:07Mary Dairy is offering free ice cream to those who have the same name as four kids who lost their lives to cancer.
11:13The move is meant to get customers to consider the cause while digesting a reality no family ever wants to face.
11:19CTV's Stefan Keyes is here to explain more.
11:21Stef.
11:22Patricia, Mary Dairy has a scoop when it comes to name days.
11:25It's something they've done before where you can check their social media.
11:29And if you see your name, you can pop in and get a free ice cream cone.
11:33But today, they're doing things differently, taking this initiative and making it sweeter than it already is.
11:39Today, the names that will get you a free ice cream belong to four kids who have passed away because of cancer.
11:50Sophia, Tyson, Aiden and Odang were all victims of the disease that claims the lives of so many.
11:57The business on Fairmont Avenue is partnering with Kids Kicking Cancer to bring awareness to the cause and the organization that helps children with a cancer diagnosis lower their pain through martial arts therapy.
12:09And if you're in the shop today, they were also on hand to give more information and take donations.
12:15It means a lot to the families.
12:17I know today some of the families are going to come over for the name day because it means their kid's spirit and their light is still around.
12:24And it makes a difference in the community.
12:28She adds that these children left an impact on those who knew them, but even those who didn't.
12:34Their memories are kept alive through initiatives like this one.
12:37And people get to hear their unique stories and the personalities that made them unique and so very special to loved ones.
12:45Customers can also get a free cone in store when they make a donation.
12:49And don't worry if you missed out today.
12:51The fundraiser and awareness campaign is on for a full month.
12:54It doesn't end until August 17th, Patricia.
12:57You can go in, you can buy a pint of tribute ice cream in there as well.
13:01So certainly we'll do that in the coming weeks.
13:02Thanks so much, Steph.
13:04CTV's Steph Ann Keyes live for us tonight.
13:06It's just inspired me to help other cats like him, to give them that opportunity.
13:10Just seeing the changes from him being able to use the stairs and jump on the sofa, do regular cat things.
13:17Well, being a really fat cat was his claim to fame.
13:19But now smaller and healthier, Biggie Smalls may be the reason many other local cats shed dangerous pounds.
13:26That story coming up.
13:27Jackie.
13:28Thanks so much, Patricia.
13:31We are the new portion of Blues Fest.
13:34Just hanging along here ahead of the festival, joining some new friends.
13:37What do you think of this space right now?
13:39It's so perfect for the full experience of Blues Fest.
13:43We came early so that we could have something to eat, have a quick drink, and then get to the show.
13:47It was really, really nice this year to have this.
13:50Who are you here to see?
13:51Sean Paul and Tim Pop Nights.
13:52All right, have a great time.
13:55Enjoy your beverages.
13:55Hey, let's take a live look through our Centennial Glass Sky Cam.
14:00And it's a beautiful shot now.
14:02The skies are starting to open up to some blue skies.
14:07No more of the dark clouds, at least here at La Brennan Flats.
14:09And the temperature right now sitting at 22 degrees.
14:13Taking a look at the drive home on this Thursday.
14:23Some slowdowns in the usual spots out there on the Queensway.
14:26Overall, traffic has been a little lighter these July weeks.
14:30Take it easy out there.
14:32Well, every Thursday, we want to put the spotlight on three good things happening in our city.
14:36We begin tonight with a popular summer festival.
14:38The Ottawa Lebanese Festival, underway at St. Elias Centre on Ridgewood Avenue, started last night.
14:44It was a big blast, and we'll go over the next few days.
14:47Tons of great food, entertainment, and a chance to celebrate Lebanese culture.
14:51The Midway opens at 4 p.m. on weekdays, 11 a.m. on weekends.
14:54And you can get your taste of the Lebanese Festival right through until Sunday.
14:58Local families and tourists can join us at the farm and do hands-on experiences of Mishtadam
15:04with our Ojibwe spirit horses or create a dream catcher.
15:08Get introduced to our Indigenous culture and local community and just have some fun.
15:14The Indigenous Matahokie Farm in Nepean is launching new visitor experiences,
15:18offering opportunities to connect with Indigenous culture.
15:21Visitors will be able to spend time with the animals, including the Ojibwe spirit horses,
15:25take part in workshops like dream catcher making,
15:28and walk scenic trails while learning about traditional plants and medicines.
15:34And Def Leppard hit the main stage at Ottawa Blues Fest last night,
15:46playing hits like Pour Some Sugar on Me.
15:48Tonight is Cardinal O'Fichel and Sean Paul.
15:51Green Day performs tomorrow.
15:53Blues Fest continues until Sunday night.
15:57Well, do you have a story for us to include in our Three Good Things segment?
15:59Something light, happy, a community event, or notable achievement?
16:03Send your ideas to ottawanews at ctv.ca.
16:08Well, Biggie Smalls has come a long way.
16:10The Ottawa cat famous on social media has trimmed down from the dangerous 43 pounds
16:16that attracted so much attention.
16:18We introduced you to him last year.
16:19Now his weight loss journey is behind a new sanctuary for overweight felines.
16:24Here's CTV's Peter Sperling.
16:26Biggie Smalls came by his first name, honestly.
16:30He was four times the size of the average cat.
16:33A year and a half ago, Biggie captured the world's attention.
16:35You can do it.
16:36Weighing in at 43 pounds.
16:38Look at you.
16:39And while he is still big, his last name no longer seems so quite ironic.
16:44He weighs just over 26 now, and he's lost 16 pounds since he's came into care.
16:49Christine Sagan rescued Biggie Smalls, helping him to lose weight.
16:53So I was initially fostering him, and he could not walk out the bathroom door.
16:58He could not walk to, barely to his litter box.
17:00All of his food and things had to be brought to him.
17:03With a goal of shedding even more, he already feels better.
17:06He is so confident, so bright, and he's just a lot of fun.
17:09And that weight loss journey, inspiring.
17:12We're in the big house sanctuary and rehab.
17:14It's our garage converted into a sanctuary space for overweight cats.
17:18Launching a not-for-profit animal rescue for overweight cats.
17:21When we got Biggie, we got so many shelters that reached out saying,
17:25do you know any rescues or places that we can send these severely,
17:28like, extremely overweight cats?
17:29And there was nothing in the world I could find.
17:32And then I thought, why not try to create something like this?
17:35So she created this with a goal of giving cats an extra life.
17:40There's Kilo.
17:40He's 27 pounds.
17:42Here, only a week so far.
17:4414-year-old Maple, now just under 20 pounds.
17:47And Cookie, who is ready for adoption.
17:50Each of these felines has his or her own story as to how they got to be plus-sized.
17:54But now, they're on a path to a healthier cat lifestyle.
17:58We meet all their medical needs, what medications, surgeries, things they need.
18:02And then they're ready for adoption, and those barriers are dropped.
18:04So people are more open to taking on one of these cats.
18:07There are five cats here now, with more on the way.
18:10All getting a second chance.
18:13Thanks to Biggie Smalls.
18:14For us, giving other cats that chance just makes my heart super happy.
18:18Peter Sperling, CTV News.
18:21Well, good news for everyone hoping for the heat wave to end.
18:24Things are finally set to cool down tonight and into tomorrow.
18:28The heat wave is expected to end sometime in those overnight hours,
18:31as we get a first full look at the weather forecast.
18:35Back out to Blues Fest and Jackie, where it's been really hot there at night,
18:40and people will not mind a little bit of the cooler temperatures, Jackie.
18:42I was actually going to ask, if you're coming down tonight, Patricia,
18:47please bring me a light jacket or a bed and up,
18:49because this wind is much cooler and is quite the difference
18:53than what we've seen the last couple of days.
18:56The dark clouds have really passed over here at LeBron and Blatt,
18:58and there has been a little bit of drizzle,
19:00but I expect that that should pass very quickly as well.
19:04So we are in for some overcast but clear conditions for this evening.
19:08Now, what a roller coaster we've had in just the last couple of hours.
19:12And if you can see the satellite radar,
19:13I believe that the heat warning has just lifted for eastern Ontario,
19:18but still in effect for parts of Quebec.
19:20And earlier today, we did see that the severe thunderstorm watch
19:24has also lifted as well.
19:25So we are looking in the clear for this evening, at least into tomorrow.
19:30So right now, conditions at 22 degrees.
19:32It is cloudy, hoping, because I could see across the Ottawa River,
19:36that there is some blue sky and some white clouds
19:39that would be promising for this evening's performances.
19:42Overnight lows really cooling down, 12 degrees,
19:46and very much similar for all of eastern Ontario.
19:50And Patawawa, 10 degrees.
19:51And Montreal sitting at 13.
19:53As we look to tomorrow's highs, yes, relief from this heat wave.
19:58It will be 24 and sunshine, and it's going to be the comfortable 24 degrees
20:03that we will experience really all throughout the area.
20:08Taking a look now at our wind speed, we did see it really increase.
20:13Wind gusts up to 50, maybe 60 kilometers per hour.
20:16This will continue for the next few hours,
20:19but then by the time Sean Paul hits the stage around at 9.30,
20:22it should calm down.
20:23So, again, pretty decent conditions so far for Blues Fest the last few nights.
20:28So that's the good news.
20:29Across Canada, you can see that Atlantic Canada is still above seasonal temperatures.
20:34The weather system that we saw pass through Ontario
20:37really bringing in some cooler temperatures.
20:40Timmins at 18 degrees, Sudbury 16.
20:43Still really warm in Windsor and Toronto, sitting at the mid-20s.
20:47And as we look towards the western part of Canada,
20:49temperatures really faring very much of what we are seeing here today
20:54or even in the last hour or so.
20:56The good news is we are expecting clear conditions as well well into Saturday,
21:00but Sunday we may see some precipitation move in.
21:03Now, today's weather brought to you by Davidson Hearing Aid Center,
21:06celebrating over 80 years in family business.
21:10Taking a look at those overnight lows Friday into Saturday,
21:13it's going to be a low at 12 degrees.
21:14So if you're going to the analytical game Friday night,
21:16make sure to bring a jacket.
21:18And Sunday, yes, we are keeping an eye out for the Red Blacks game.
21:22Daytime high, 25 degrees.
21:24But there is still a chance that we could see chance of showers moving in throughout the day.
21:29Well, that's it from us so far here.
21:31But in a little bit, what's Blues Fest without the help of volunteers
21:35and the childless efforts over these wonderful nights?
21:39We will be speaking to one of the dedicated volunteers
21:41who has been volunteering for quite some time in a little bit.
21:44And of course, seeing all the excitement that's here for Ketan Nalafishal at 7.30
21:48and then Sean Paul at 9.30.
21:50Patricia.
21:50And I don't know about that stylish, lightweight jacket, Jackie,
21:54but I do have a really pretty poncho with your name on it,
21:56so I'll bring that down to you.
21:58Talk to you in a bit.
21:59Well, former staffers of Rick Shirelli are once again sharing their stories
22:05as the provincial government looks to create new rules
22:07that would make it easier to fire any councillor who violates the code of conduct.
22:11Even after Ottawa's integrity commissioner found Shirelli harassed
22:14and bullied female staff, he remained on council,
22:17sparking calls from across the province for change.
22:20But some say what's proposed now may not go far enough.
22:23CTV's Natalie Van Roy joins us now with more on this.
22:26Natalie.
22:26Patricia, the province is looking at new legislation
22:29that could allow council to oust members for serious violations.
22:34But some say the process would be far from automatic.
22:38This is not a partisan issue.
22:39It's a workplace issue and a human rights issue.
22:42Nancy Karens worked in former councillor Rick Shirelli's office in 2013 to 2017
22:47when she says she endured harassment and bullying.
22:51I've lived through what happens when a councillor engages in harmful, predatory behaviour
22:55and nothing is done to stop it.
22:57She's one of the former staffers of Rick Shirelli sharing their experiences
23:01as the province holds hearings on proposed legislation aimed at making it easier
23:06to fire councillors in serious violation of the municipal code of conduct.
23:11I don't want anyone else to go through what I went through.
23:14I think that I'm really glad that we finally have a bill in front of us.
23:21If passed, Bill 9 would allow municipalities to remove a councillor
23:25after a recommendation by the municipal integrity commissioner,
23:30approval from the integrity commissioner of Ontario,
23:33and a unanimous vote by council.
23:35But there are concerns the bar is too high.
23:38Former Ottawa councillor and now MPP Catherine McKenney says
23:42getting a unanimous vote may be a challenge.
23:45We cannot expect survivors to come forward
23:49if in fact, you know, everything that they come with
23:55will hinge on whether one person can go to the washroom
24:00and not be there for the votes.
24:03For years, the province has faced calls to address the issue.
24:06After Ottawa's integrity commissioner found Shirelli harassed
24:10and bullied female staff.
24:12The allegations dating back to 2013.
24:15He rejected calls to resign and council could only dock his pay.
24:19I support the proposed legislation.
24:22It is high time to ensure that there is a level of accountability in place
24:26that can and will address the most egregious cases of behaviour
24:31that breach codes of conduct.
24:33that in the majority of workplaces would be dealt with swiftly and appropriately.
24:37Shirelli's former staffer is hoping their voices are heard at Queen's Park.
24:42I'm really hopeful that this is actually going to be feedback that they'll listen to.
24:48And the province is holding hearings at several different locations,
24:55including Thunder Bay, for this proposed legislation.
24:58Patricia.
24:59All right, CTV's Natalie Van Roy reporting live for us.
25:02We do have extended coverage of the hearings happening on the proposed legislation.
25:06There are more stories online at ctvnewsottawa.ca.
25:10This is the first appearance of Spider-Man.
25:12The first time he ever appeared in the comic from 1962.

25:19helping to revitalize Centertown.

25:48Like a scene out of the sitcom The Big Bang Theory,
26:04a new shop in Centertown is giving comic bands a place to connect,
26:07collect, and celebrate the art form they love.
26:10And as CTV's Dave Charbonneau reports,
26:11it's also helping revitalize Bank Street
26:13after the closure of several businesses in recent years.
26:17This is the first appearance of Spider-Man.
26:20First time he ever appeared in a comic from 1962.
26:23Inside nefarious comics on Bank Street,
26:25Ryan Jordan has built more than just a store.
26:27He's built a community.
26:29We really wanted to give a community a sense of, like,
26:31belonging where you can come in, you can hang out,
26:34you can chat about your comics,
26:35your Pokemon cards, your Magic cards.
26:37You can come play cards at our table,
26:39grab a drink, listen to some music,
26:41and just connect with members of the community.
26:43But the store's crown jewel,
26:44its collection of extremely rare comics,
26:47some worth a small fortune.
26:48This is worth just under about half a million dollars.
26:51These are some of the most desirable Marvel comics in the world.
26:53This is an Avengers number one.
26:55Some of these are even signed by Stan Lee,
26:57some so valuable the owner doesn't even keep them in the store.
27:00Anything worth over $5,000
27:02is kept off-site in a safety deposit box.
27:04It's awesome.
27:05I honestly come in almost every day on my way to work.
27:09The shop opened about a month ago,
27:10and it's already becoming a popular spot for diehard comic fans like Luke Hodge.
27:14Comics I've been collecting since I was a kid,
27:16but I did stop for a little bit.
27:18And then once I saw the shop,
27:20I kind of got really back into it.
27:22But Pokemon I've been collecting for a couple of years now.
27:25Oh, that's awesome.
27:27We actually got a pull.
27:29The store breathing new life into Centretown
27:31after several business closures in recent years.
27:33We are seeing businesses leave and new ones come in.
27:36This is just going to drive more traffic, more tourism,
27:39and even the aesthetic of the outside of that comic book shop
27:41is something to see.
27:42Residents in the area say places like this are great for the community.
27:46Putting the effort into opening a store like this
27:48in a place that needs bricks and mortar shops and jobs and work.
27:52And comic fans are loving every aspect of the new store.
27:55These shops are awesome.
27:56I mean, it's the art, it's the stories, you know,
27:59the simplicity of it all maybe.
28:00You know, it's just a little escapism.
28:03For owner and lifetime comic fan Ryan Jordan,
28:05he says this was always the dream.
28:07Like when we were children collecting comic books,
28:09you're like, what do you want to be when you grow up?
28:10I'm like, I want to own a comic book store, you know?
28:12Dave Charbonneau, CTV News.
28:14The dream.
28:15Well, now some other stories you need to know right now.
28:17We're getting a look tonight at Ottawa's busiest photo radar camera.
28:21CTV's Stephane Keyes joins us now with the details on this
28:23and other stories.
28:24Steph?
28:25Patricia, maybe no surprise,
28:27King Edward continues to be a hotspot for speeders,
28:30but new data shows drivers are slowing down.
28:33The busiest camera in May was the one on King Edward Avenue
28:36between Bolton and St. Patrick Streets,
28:39which issued 3,000 tickets in May.
28:42But that's a drastic drop from the more than 10,000 issued
28:45during the same month last year.
28:48And it's not just King Edward.
28:49Drivers are slowing down near cameras across the city.
28:5227,000 tickets were issued in May,
28:54down from 32,000 in May 2024.
28:57May and June, and particularly May,
28:59if the weather's great,
29:00then everything else is great.
29:01The Byron Market saw a spike in visitors this spring
29:05with the highest number of recorded visits
29:07to the busy tourist area in more than two years.
29:10Recent city stats showed there were 2.81 million visits
29:14to the market in May and 2.58 million visits in June.
29:19Those are the highest monthly visits to the market area
29:21since the city began posting statistics in January of 2023.
29:26A lot of restaurants in the province of Quebec
29:28have been losing thousands, if not tens of thousands,
29:32of dollars in sales because of no-shows.
29:34So this gives them a path forward
29:37where they can enforce their reservations
29:39a little bit more firmly.
29:42Quebec restaurants can now charge a fee
29:44to people who make a reservation but don't show up.
29:47Under the new rules that came into effect today,
29:49Quebec restaurants can now charge up to $10
29:52for each no-show in a group of two or more.
29:55They first have to remind customers
29:57about an upcoming reservation
29:59and give them an easy way to cancel.
30:03On Monday, more than 53,000 unionized Canada post workers
30:07will begin voting on what the Crown Corporation says
30:10is its final contract offer.
30:12The Canadian Industrial Relations Board
30:14will run the vote between July 21st until August 1st.
30:18That deal would see wage hikes for postal workers
30:21as well as changes aimed at rolling out
30:24seven-day-a-week delivery,
30:25a move Canada Post argues is critical
30:28for its struggling business.
30:30The Canadian Union of Postal Workers
30:32has urged members to vote no on the proposal.
30:36Well, they're arch-rivals.
30:38Battle of Ontario.
30:40And this is what making the playoffs does for a team
30:44after the NHL schedule was released yesterday.
30:46The Senators reporting a boost in season ticket sales.
30:49The club had sold 600 new-season seats in the spring
30:54ahead of clinching a playoff spot
30:56and expect that total to be closer to 2,000
30:59before the puck drops in October.
31:02The first two games on the road
31:03and then fans here will get their first look at the team
31:06during an afternoon tilt at the CTC
31:08when Nashville comes to town on Monday, October 13th.
31:12Patricia, mark your calendars.
31:14Go Senska.
31:15Got it circled.
31:16Yes.
31:17Thanksgiving, reasons to be grateful.
31:18Maybe another playoff run this year, so here's hoping.
31:21As long as we do better in Toronto, I'm a happy camper.
31:23Yeah.
31:23Yeah, absolutely.
31:25Despite the blue.
31:26Right.
31:26We want to head back out to Blues Fest
31:29where Jackie Perez is standing by for us tonight
31:32and we're just hoping that that rain will hold off for us, Jackie.
31:35Yes, Patricia, I have removed my hat because the drizzle has really moved through.
31:41I'm seeing more blue sky moving and more people coming in.
31:45But before we get to today's festivities,
31:46I just want to shout out a lot of the volunteers, including Adam Garipi.
31:50Adam, you have been a volunteer for the last nine years.
31:54Just why do you come back each year to help out and volunteer?
31:58Well, I'm back each year, the music for sure.
32:01But honestly, it's the people in the community that we build here at Blues Fest.
32:05Over the nine years, I've gotten to meet lots of great, amazing human beings
32:08and like from the patrons all the way up to our volunteer team and the staff.
32:14But it's just all these people, the music that you see behind us and what's going on.
32:17It's incredible.
32:18There is still a couple of days left in the festival.
32:21What advice do you have for people coming down?
32:23Because you always want to get the best seat or the best of you on stage
32:26or just get the most ample time.
32:28How do you maximize the space now as an expert at Blues Fest?
32:32Honestly, I would say, you know, explore the site.
32:35Get here when the gate's open.
32:36Take a walk around.
32:37See what's available.
32:40But really, there's no bad seat here.
32:42Anywhere you're going to be here, you're going to have a good time.
32:44I love hearing that.
32:45Now, we talk about nine years, tens of thousands of people coming in.
32:49You've probably seen some pretty amazing acts.
32:51What has stood out to you over your time volunteering?
32:54Yeah, the one that stands out for me would be 2019, the Backstreet Boys.
32:58I got to dance in the pit with AJ McLean.
33:00So you got to dance along with AJ McLean right here.
33:05Right here at the pit in front of the stage, yeah.
33:07Top moment highlight for you.
33:08All right, hopefully we're going to see you dancing by Sean Paul later today.
33:11All right, thank you, Adam.
33:13Really appreciate you taking the time.
33:14Do you hear that?
33:15Backstreet Boys, highlight for Adam here at Blues Fest.
33:18I'm sure for a lot of people, that's been a highlight as well.
33:21So we are about less than an hour away now from Cardinal Fischel taking the stage.
33:26And then Sean Paul at 9.30.
33:28Lots of time to get down here as well.
33:30Patricia, Stefan, I'm going to take it back.
33:31Or Patricia, rather, I take it back to you in the studio.
33:34Talk about perks of the job.
33:36I was at that Backstreet Boys concert.
33:37Did not get close to AJ.
33:38That's really, really cool.
33:40Thanks, Jackie.
33:42We do think the Canadian economy is already in a recession.
33:45And it will really take an early resolution of the trade war to get us out of that.
33:51Well, coming up, is Canada already in a recession?
33:54A new report says yes and warns more hardship could be on the way.
33:59Well, the federal government's massive boost in military spending won't be enough to stave off a recession this year.
34:13That's according to new analysis conducted by Oxford Economics, a global think tank.
34:18CTV's Judy Tran has more on the growing impact of the trade war.
34:21To pay us soldiers to buying new equipment, the Canadian government will spend $9 billion more this fiscal year on the military, boosting the bottom line of companies like Hepburn Engineering that makes refueling equipment for Canada's Navy.
34:38The defence area is going to be more robust for the next several years because that's where the demand's going to be.
34:45We have a world that's a lot more dangerous.
34:48With that spending, Canada will finally meet the 2% NATO target.
34:53But growth in the defence industry may not be enough to protect the country from recession.
34:58Defence spending will help to offset some additional further negative impacts.
35:02But we do think the Canadian economy is already in a recession and it will really take an early resolution of the trade war to get us out of that.
35:13Oxford Economics projects that Canada will be in a trade war until the end of 2025 and that 140,000 jobs could be lost.
35:23The impacts are already being felt in steel, aluminum and auto industries.
35:27The direct hit from the trade war will soon begin to broaden to other sectors of the economy and lead to a much broader, more widespread downturn.
35:37Meanwhile, Hepburn is expanding.
35:39It has 100 employees and is hiring more as it competes for new military contracts.
35:45We expect this will continue.
35:48You know, we have to wait.
35:49The business has to come our way and then we make sure we're big enough to be able to handle it.
35:53And so we've added a number of employees this year and if things keep growing, we'll add more.
36:00Economists are now focused on August 1st.
36:03That's the deadline for a new trade deal between Canada and the U.S.
36:07Earlier this week, Prime Minister Mark Carney said it's unlikely Canada will emerge from those negotiations without being hit with some form of tariff.
36:17Judy Trinh, CTV News, Ottawa.
36:19Well, just ahead, why stocks in Canada and the U.S. are hitting record highs.
36:25We'll have those details from the BNN Bloomberg Newsroom.
36:27iHeartRadio Weekenders is powered by Barhaven Ford, Ottawa's newest and largest Ford store, and Eastern Ontario's Ford EV Leader.
36:39We are almost there.
36:40Time now to check in with our iHeartRadio Weekender, Tanea Taylor.
36:43Tanea.
36:43Kicking it off with the Ottawa Lebanese Festival presented by Gabriel Pizza.

37:11This is a one-day celebration on Saturday featuring performances, an artisan market, and delicious street food all happening inside the horticulture building at Lansdowne Park.
37:21Admission is free.

37:41This is open from 9 to 1 p.m. with a silent hour from 9 to 10 a.m. where all the machines will be off.

38:11Stocks rose to record highs in Canada and the U.S. today with investors piling into Canadian banks as fears ease that the American economy is struggling.
38:19BNN Bloomberg's Andrew Bell has the details.
38:22Hello there.
38:23Canadian bank shares climbed to a new record today, and that was enough to lift the Toronto Composite Index to a new record high close north of 27,300.
38:35The Canadian bank shares as a group offer a dividend yield of almost 4%, and that's more attractive to many investors than the one-year guaranteed deposit rate of only about 3.5% offered by many institutions.
38:50The S&P 500 hit its own record, just shy of 6,300.
38:57Retail sales came in stronger than expected, and a drop in jobless claims pointed to economic strength.
39:05One market watcher told Bloomberg, quote, the consumer came back to life in June.
39:10The Canadian dollar was under pressure.
39:14It changed hands at 72.74 cents U.S., down a third of a cent.
39:20West Texas Intermediate crude changed hands at 66 dollars and 23 cents, up a dollar and four cents.
39:28Our latest fix on Western Canadian Select Oil has it at 53 dollars and 96 cents, down 18 cents.
39:36And the TSX Composite ended at its new record high of 27,386.93, up just over 233 points.
39:49That's the latest in business.
39:51I'm Andrew Bell of BNN Bloomberg.
39:54Tom, do the honours.
39:55This is cool, because I'm hosting the Canadian Country Music Awards this year.
39:58You certainly are.
39:58I'm hosting it.
39:59I'm hosting it this year, so it's very exciting.
40:01Well, coming up, Tom Green makes an exciting announcement on CTV Morning Live.
40:04We'll have the details after the break.
40:07Jackie.
40:09Thanks so much, Patricia.
40:11We are enjoying the music, the vibes, hanging out with some new friends.
40:16We've got Sarah, Gus, and Lynn.
40:17Who are you guys excited to see tonight?
40:19Sean Paul.
40:20Hey, We Be Burden.
40:22Gotta be that one.
40:23Is there a song you want to hear?
40:25Absolutely.
40:25Temperature.
40:26Okay, and Sarah, your temperature?
40:27I'm getting busy.
40:28Okay.
40:29Lots of different songs, so hopefully we're going to be dancing it up later this evening.
40:33For now, let's take a live look through our Centennial Glass Skycam, where it is a refreshing
40:3922 degrees, especially with that wind.
40:42And here we are facing Old Ottawa South.
40:45We're leaving now.

41:11Friday on CTV Morning Live, Yoga on the Hill is back this summer.
41:21We get a yoga lesson and tell you how you can enjoy this free event.
41:26And we're checking out this week's new movies, including a long-awaited follow-up to the Teen Slasher.
41:32I know what you did last summer.
41:34Nothing namaste about that one.
41:35Wake up the right way with CTV Morning Live.
41:38Here's a recap of the top stories we are following right now.
41:47I work for the government, but also when you work for the government, you see inefficiencies as well.
41:52So I'm not too worried about it.
41:55The president of the Treasury Board confirms the federal government's ambitious savings plan
41:59will also force crown corporations to cut spending over the next three years.
42:03The teenager accused of attempted murder and sexual assault in connection with an attack on an eight-year-old girl in Quadville makes a brief court appearance.
42:12We all keep coming back to this man because we know we've got a good haircut.
42:22That's the end of an era for Westgate Barbershop, which is set to close its doors after 70 years in business.
42:29One final check on the forecast.
42:31Tonight, a little windy, but hopefully no rain out at Blues Fest where Jackie is for us.
42:36Yeah, Patricia, I think I'm going to take the wind over the rain.
42:41We did see a little bit of drizzle, but that should be clearing up.
42:44The clouds are sticking around.
42:46Bring a light jacket, if not for you, for me.
42:48Let's take a look at the wake-up weather.
42:5015 degrees sunshine that's going to last all throughout our Friday and will carry on to Saturday.
42:57So it's going to be a gorgeous night for the Atletico game, Friday night, overnight lows at 12 degrees.
43:03And then Saturday into Sunday, we're looking at 25-degree daytime highs.
43:08We are keeping an eye out on Sunday, though, because there is a chance of some scattered showers,
43:12and it may even be around for the Red Blacks game.
43:15So keeping a close eye on this.
43:16But as we look towards the extended forecast into the early work week, we are looking at the heat wave over.
43:22Not as much humidity, so we're enjoying this.
43:25So sunshine is what we're expecting.
43:27No rain in sight until Thursday.
43:29So, again, great conditions for Blues Fest, Lebanese Festival also this weekend.
43:35And, again, lots to explore the city over the next couple of days.
43:38So take advantage of this and the wonderful weather.
43:41That's it from us here at Blues Fest.
43:43Cardinal Fischel on the stage in half an hour.
43:46Sean Paul in just a little bit.
43:47We'll take it back to you, Kimberly, Patricia.
43:49All right.
43:49You have a good few days, too.
43:50Jackie, thank you so much for this.
43:53On time now to check in to see what our news team is working on for tonight.
43:56Kimberly Fowler is here.
43:57Yeah, we will keep an eye on any breaking news that we have in and around the Ottawa area, of course.
44:01And over at TD Place Arena, the Ottawa Red Blacks, they're tipping off against the Edmonton Stingers.
44:07Game time is set for 7.30.
44:09We'll also head over to La Breton Flats again.
44:11Like Jackie just said, another big night for Blues Fest.
44:14Sean Paul hits the RBC main stage tonight.
44:16Canadian rapper Cardinal Fischel and Canadian indie pop-ed Peachbit also will be performing.
44:21And, of course, you can get the news anytime, anywhere at ctvnewsottawa.ca.
44:25Join me tonight for CTV News at 11.30.

44:28So Black Jacks tonight, Red Blacks Sunday night.
44:30Yes.
44:30All right.
44:31Good stuff.
44:32Finally, for us tonight, there was a special announcement on CTV Morning Live today.
44:36We're announcing the nominees for the Canadian Country Music Awards, and they're going to
44:40be coming through any moment on your phone.
44:42You're getting an email with the names.
44:45That is our colleague from the morning show, Will Aiello, out at Tom Green's farm just outside
44:50of Ottawa.
44:51Tom Green is hosting this year's Canadian Country Music Awards and announced some of the nominees
44:55on CTV Morning Live.
44:57Those up for Breakthrough Artist of the Year include Cameron Whitcomb, Sasha, Noeline Hoffman,
45:03Tony Stevens, and Zach McPhee.
45:05I don't think the horse cares.
45:07Not really interested.
45:09Yeah.
45:10Tom Green did a lot of announcements lately.
45:12He did the NHL, the draft pick, and now he's doing the country music nominees.
45:17Kimberly and Jackie's good buddy, Tom Green.
45:19You often skate on the canal with him.
45:21Close personal friends.
45:22Only, what, you've skated on the canal, what, once in your life?
45:24Is that how often?
45:25Yeah.
45:25And he was with Tom Green.
45:26Yeah.
45:28Good stuff.
45:28I hope everyone has a good night.
45:30Enjoy Blues Fest, if that's where you're headed.
