'Tension' keeps boaters in Canada | CTV News Ottawa at Six for September 5, 2026

Many Canadians say political tensions and costs are altering Canada-U.S. border travel habits for the Labour Day weekend. CTV's Josh Marano speaks with Prescott boater Daniel Fredette, who says he no longer makes his usual trip to Clayton, New York, because he wants to spend his money locally; the National Capital Commission is facing backlash after introducing new Gatineau Park paid parking fees at the visitor centre in Chelsea. CTV's Katelyn Wilson speaks with Chelsea resident Carol Ferderber, who says she is disappointed that her daily walk now costs up to $16; and thousands of people from across the region are celebrating the Labour Day weekend at the 179th annual Perth Fair. CTV's Kimberley Johnson speaks with Perth Fair director Jeannie Seguin, who says the event helps young people understand where their food comes from.
