LRT referendum, anti-endorsement and scalper bots.

Is a referendum plausible for the Hamilton LRT debate?

Guest: Nelson Wiseman. Professor of Political Science, University of Toronto.

USA Today has issued its first endorsement in their history….rather anti-endorsement. The newspaper has a strict no endorsement policy but broke the decision. They critiqued nominee Donald Trump, saying he’s unfit. Do endorsements mean anything in the long run?

Guest: Barry Kay, Political Science Professor at Wilfrid Laurier University.

An Ontario MPP wants to wants to outlaw “scalper bots”, computer software which snatches tickets away from fans and concert goers before they even get the chance to purchase tickets. A recent example of these scalper bots getting tickets before anyone else was when the Tragically Hip tickets went on sale. Is there any tech already available that can beat these bots?

Guest: Syd Bolton. Curator, Personal Computer Museum.

Guest: Sophie Kiwala, MPP for Kingston and the Islands.
