The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson:
The Tuesday after Labour Day and the kids are back in school! With that comes renewed concerns from parents regarding COVID-19 safety. Scott speaks with Ontario’s education minister Stephen Lecce about what the government is doing, and respond to common worries. Scott also speaks with IPSOS VP Sean Simpson about a new poll conducted for Global News: More than half of Conservative voters in Canada want Pierre Poilievre to lead the CPC party, the polling suggests. Hamilton is looking to implement a bylaw prohibiting so called “nuisance parties” like last year’s fake homecoming party held in the Westdale neighbourhood. Also on the docket: Trump succeeds in getting his special master on the DOJ case against him, more talk on privatization of healthcare in Ontario, Trudeau’s Liberals are facing a popularity problem, and Radley recaps the Labour Day Classic with us. It is all coming up on the Hamilton Today Podcast.
