The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson:
Over the weekend, we learned of the death of Jimmy Buffett. According to Naomi Buck’s op-ed in the Globe and Mail, Cellphones have taken over our classrooms, and it’s been a disaster. According to the Canadian Taxpayer’s Federation, those who believe Canada’s official residences are crumbling due to a lack of funding may have missed something: the numbers. You may remember talk of Canada’s Indo-Pacific Strategy. It is one of the steps away from entanglement and reliance on Xi Jinping’s Government of China, for our country. This morning, Ontario Premier Doug Ford spoke with the media following a tumultuous long weekend that saw his housing minister step down and his cabinet shuffled. Where does Steve Clark’s resignation leave the Ford government, and the concerns around interference in government? What of Premier Ford’s reassessed plans for the Greenbelt that he announced this morning? Money laundering is a ‘significant problem’ in Ontario real estate transactions and the B.C.-based company Iluminai wants to change that. Annnnnd… Radley’s back! It is all coming up on the Hamilton Today Podcast!
