    The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson: The C-47 Dakota on display at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum is part of D-Day history. Why was it easier to clear out the York University protest encampment than it has proven to be at other universities? Liberals will not release names of parliamentarians accused of collaborating with hostile foreign states. After a rough start, the Boeing Starliner has finally docked with the International Space Station. Starliner has encountered numerous technical issues that have delayed its planned crewed debut by almost a decade. The interest rate has finally been cut. Hamilton will declare itself a "no paid plasma zone" to send the message it doesn't want Canadian Blood Services to move forward with an east-end clinic. However, not everyone supports this decision. Has Canada’s military fallen behind since D-Day? Ontario government hopeful interest rate cut will spur struggling home construction. Guests: Al Mickeloff, Marketing Manager for the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum Hank Idsinga, 640 Toronto Law Enforcement Analyst, Retired Inspector with the Toronto Police Service, former homicide investigator, 34 years with the force Phil Gurski, President of Borealis Threat and Risk Consulting, former CSIS analyst Keith Mackey, of Mackey International Colin Mang, Assistant Professor of Economics, at McMaster University Christine Duncan Wilson, Chair of ImmUnity Canada Richard Shimooka, Senior Fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute Mike Collins-Williams, CEO, West End Home Builders Association Scott Radley, Host of The Scott Radley Show and Columnist with The Hamilton Spectator Host – Scott Thompson Content Producer – William Erskine Technical/Podcast Producer – Tom McKay Podcast Co-Producer – Ben Straughan News Anchor – Dave Woodard & Jen McQueen Want to keep up with what happened in Hamilton Today?

    How should we interpret Hamilton's rising gun violence?
    2024/06/03
    The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson: Changing a tire? First aid? Ontario is getting ready to update its home ec courses — and wants your input on what needs to change. In the National Post, Randall Denley writes that running against Justin Trudeau is Doug Ford's best reason for an early-ish election. We take a look at the Canadian Open and how it played out. We look at the benefits that can come from the focus on financial literacy in Ontario high schools. The world’s first Masters program in psychedelics and their therapeutic uses is coming to University of Ottawa. Justice Minister Arif Virani says he wants to ensure principles meant to guide bail decisions are being upheld as police anecdotally report high rates of people on bail re-offending. What do we make of the proliferation of gun violence reports in Hamilton? The federal Liberal government learned Friday it might have to retreat on a proposal within its electoral reform legislation to delay the next vote by one week, after all opposition parties came out to say they can't support it.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford suggested Thursday that immigrants were responsible for shooting at a Jewish girls' elementary school in North York, despite police saying they have little information on the suspects.

Coming to the Westdale Theatre on June 9, "an Indigenous collaboration that is not to be missed!" Featuring Sultans of String, Alyssa Delbaere-Sawchuk, Marc Meriläinen (Nadjiwan), and Shannon Thunderbird, and a multimedia extravaganza featuring Northern Cree, Duke Redbird, Inuit singers and more in a one-of-a-kind show! Signs of slowing economic growth could set up “fireworks” at the Bank of Canada’s interest rate decision next week, one economist says, as odds rise for the first rate cut of the cycle. The Trump hush-money verdict is in, and Donald Trump is lashing out. Some special events will be taking place in the night sky over the next few days!

    2024/05/29
    The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson: Writing in the National Post, Tasha Kheiriddin says that it may be time to rethink how military service in Canada is handled and consider taking a cue from U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. How will the $5.1 Million donation from the Juravinski Foundation be put to use? Arts graduate education in Canada should be redesigned around students’ and society’s needs, according to a new piece in The Conversation. The Speaker of the House, Greg Fergus, has kept his post for another day. With the turnover of speakers in recent memory, and the previous trouble around Speaker Fergus, we look at the fallout of this latest vote and the waning support from MPs. The federal Conservatives are offering to team up with the federal Liberals in order to address foreign interference. A new Leger poll shows that 47% of Canadians think Justin Trudeau is hanging on to his office for selfish reasons. It is all coming up on the Hamilton Today Podcast!
