The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson:
Today’s top story is the speech from the throne of Doug Ford, Scott has questions about the budget and promises from Queen’s Park. Colin D’Mello, reporting from Queen’s Park, joins Scott for discussion on that. The Federal Conservative party leadership race has hit a bump; former PM Stephen Harper endorsed Pierre Poilievre and his polling has suffered as a result. Nik Nanos of Nanos research joins Scott to talk about the data they have collected. Shock waves spread across America in response to the news that the FBI had searched the private Florida residence of Donald Trump in an “unprecedented” move that prompted threats of retaliation from the former U.S. president and his allies. How does this guy remain popular with his supporters? Scott speaks with Reggie Cecchini, Global News Washington about that. Carmi Levy hops on to chat about how the RCMP has deployed spyware to access the encrypted communications of targets as far back as 2002, a senior Mountie said Monday afternoon. It is all coming up on the Hamilton Today Podcast.
