Canada’s Largest Ribfest returns! Moderna booster approved by Health Canada. Russian President Putin paid tribute to Gorbachev, but will not attend his funeral, and more on Hamilton Today!

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson:
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) says a 2020 collision between two cargo vessels in the Welland Canal was caused by “hydrodynamic forces” acting on one of the vessels in the waterway. Canada’s Largest Ribfest will return to Burlington’s Spencer Smith Park from Sept. 2 to 5. The event will feature 16 rib teams, a midway, marketplace and two stages of musical acts. Delaying the time when high schools start classes in the morning by as little as 10 minutes can have a positive impact on teens’ sleep, says a Brock University youth expert. With booster vaccines that are updated for Omicron now approved by Health Canada, and Ontario taking a different approach with its measures for managing the COVID-19 virus, as well as the flu, we look at what workspace safety will be like in the fall. The Canadian economy grew at an annual rate of 3.3 per cent in the second quarter, bringing the quarterly reading below estimates and an early look at July suggests a contraction. China has responded furiously to a United Nations report on alleged human rights abuses in its northwestern Xinjiang region targeting Uyghurs and other mainly Muslim ethnic minorities. Where do Rent-to-Own housing models sit in the current real estate environment, and what can they do for the housing crisis? Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday paid tribute to Mikhail Gorbachev but will not attend the late former Soviet leader's funeral, a decision reflecting the Kremlin's ambivalence about Gorbachev's legacy. There is a court hearing today in West Palm Beach, Florida, to decide if--as former President Donald Trump is requesting--a judge should appoint a special master to review documents seized by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago.
