Uninsured, suspended G2 driver from Ottawa facing impaired driving charges
An Ottawa G2 driver being towed near Merivale Road on Wednesday, July 23, 2025. (OPP/X) An Ottawa man is facing a laundry list of charges for allegedly driving impaired on a suspended licence without insurance Wednesday afternoon. Ontario Provincial Police say officers were patrolling on Merivale Road near Baseline Road when they were alerted to a suspended driver by an Automated Licence Plate Reader (ALPR). While speaking to the G2 driver, police had reason to believe he was impaired by alcohol. A roadside screening device was used and the driver was taken back to the police detachment for a breath test. Officers also located open alcohol inside the vehicle, police say. G2 drivers in Ontario cannot have any measurable amount of alcohol in their system while operating a vehicle. A 29-year-old man from Ottawa faces seven charges, including two counts of operation while impaired, driving while under suspension, operating a motor vehicle without insurance, driving a motor vehicle with an open container of liquor, driving a motor vehicle without a permit and for having a blood alcohol content (BAC) above zero. The man had his licence automatically suspended for 90-days and had his vehicle impounded for seven days. He is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Ottawa at a later date.

NCC cancels upcoming Gatineau, Que. concert by controversial U.S. musician
A controversial U.S. musician was set to perform in Gatineau on Sat, but the National Capital Commission cancelled the performance. CTV's Austin Lee reports. The National Capital Commission (NCC) has cancelled an upcoming concert by controversial Christian musician Sean Feucht in Gatineau, Que., following other Canadian cities who have called off his performances. 'The NCC will not be issuing an event permit that had been requested for Jacques-Cartier Park North following consultation with the Gatineau Police Service and due to concerns about public safety and security for and around the event,' the NCC said in an email to CTV News Ottawa. On social media, Feucht describes himself as a missionary, musician, author and 'founder of global movements.'

(Jose Luis Magana/AP Photo) He unsuccessfully ran for congress in 2020 as a Republican candidate in California and has faced criticism for speaking out against abortion rights and the LGTBQ2+ community. He has also grown in popularity within the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement as a prominent figure with nearly 600,000 followers on Facebook and another 166,000 followers on X. Speaking to Gatineau residents on Wednesday, some expressed frustration over the planned concert. 'My issue isn't that his values don't align with mine or that I have a difference of opinion politically. It's that it's a public space,' said Melissa, a Gatineau resident who asked CTV News Ottawa not to include her last name. 'If it was in a private arena or a private room, I wouldn't be upset by that. People have the right to exist, and they have the right to say whatever they want to say as long as it falls within hate speech laws.'

(Brad Quinn/CTV News Ottawa) Parks Canada revoked Feucht's permit to perform at the York Redoubt National Historic Site in Halifax for similar concerns over safety and security. He then found a different venue near Halifax to hold his event on Wednesday but permits to perform in Moncton, Charlottetown and Quebec City have also been reportedly revoked. 'Theses are worrisome messages. They're very popular in the states. It's popular to beat up on small minority groups as target victims. We saw that in the 1930s in other parts of the world, we just don't feel that's where Canadians want to go,' said lay minister David-Roger Gagnon with St. Paul's United Church in Riverview New Brunswick. 'If this gentleman wants to promote that message, he's welcome to do that in his own country. But in Canada, I don't think those values resonate with us.' Melissa expressed skepticism over Feucht's claims on social media that pushback to his shows is rooted in anti-Christian bigotry. 'I'm Christian. Most of my friends are Christian,' she said. 'I don't think there's anything Christian about his public stances on women or marginalized groups.' With files from The Canadian Press
