Manchester arrests, Karim Baratov, rain and free trade.

Seven people have now been arrested in connection with the attack in Manchester, in both the UK and Libya, including the father and brother of the bomber. Police in Manchester also have decided that they will no longer be sharing intelligence with the US, saying their leaks to the media undermines the ongoing investigation.

Damage caused by excessive rain throughout the spring has now cost the City of Hamilton nearly $2.5 million. So far, more than 170 mm of rain has dropped in May and April. The damage caused includes flooding, washed out roads and a destroyed public viewing platform at Fifty Point Parkette.

Guest: Chad Collins. City Councillor, Ward 5, City of Hamilton.

A recent article by William Watson in the Financial Post argues that Canada should be pushing for even freer trade. The article discusses how roughly a quarter of productivity growth between 1995 and 2000 came from foreign countries, predominantly the US via cheaper and better imported inputs. The article also emphasized a need for the Canadian government to let industry that can’t compete in a more open market, die.
