The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Radley:
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation has released a statement drawing attention to what they cite as a fundamental unfairness in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s carbon tax policy: Quebec is paying a lower carbon tax than the rest of Canada. California startup Alef Aeronautics has been granted testing certification for its vehicle/aircraft, dubbed the “Model A,” making it the first fully electric vehicle that can both drive and fly to receive U.S. government approval. Ancaster Coun. Craig Cassar says finding solutions to the community’s road safety problems will “take time” and asked residents to be patient with the results. Writing in the Hamilton Spectator, Steve Milton says that “the math is already stacking up against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.” The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant may once again become a battleground: both Russian forces and Ukrainian forces are accusing each other of preparing to attack. Canadians eligible for the GST credit are expected to receive a special payment today to help with the rising cost of groceries. Here’s one idea for handling some aspects of climate change: let’s block out the Sun’s rays! For real. Maybe don’t cover the sky altogether but different approaches have been theorized about for some time.
