Episode Details

Canada Day fireworks, canceled by rain, finally lit up Ottawa—but not on July 1st, and not with a heads-up. Launched at 11 PM Thursday for Bluesfest’s opening, the surprise display rattled residents and city officials alike, sparking outrage online. Councillors called it “completely inappropriate” and “legitimately frightening,” while the city defended the no-notice policy, claiming it was to avoid overcrowding and safety risks. Most agree: a major fireworks show on a weeknight, with zero warning, was a bad call.
