The Hamilton Today Podcast with Ted Michaels:
A woman proclaiming herself the “Queen of Canada,” under the broader QAnon conspiracy theory, attempted last weekend to get her acolytes to perform citizen’s arrests on the Peterborough Police Service… it did not go well. Are these people a threat? Former CSIS analyst Phil Gurski speaks with Ted about that. On a lighter note, opening the show, Squid-ink Korean corndogs, 60-centimetre long tacos, and ketchup and mustard ice cream – just some of the… delicacies… that you can find at the CNE this year! You can bet Ted has strong opinions on some of those, and he asks Matt Carty, who ate it first-hand. The FBI affidavit leading to the raid on Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago may be unsealed after some redaction; Reggie Cecchini Global News Washington joins Ted for that. Mikey’s Cream Pies in Hamilton looked like it was going to close, but after some social media outpouring it looks like they will make it! Matty joins Ted. We also take a look at the darker side of social media, where anyone can be a journalist with little oversight and review. Jeffrey Dvorkin, former director of Journalism at the University of Toronto-Scarborough joins Ted for that. Ted It is all coming up on the Hamilton Today Podcast.

Guests:
Matt Carty, Reporter, Global News.
Reggie Cecchini, Washington Correspondent for Global News.
Mike Jensen, Owner of Mikey’s Cream Pies.
Melissa Kelly Caswell, Organizer of Keep Women Safe Walk.
Jeffrey Dvorkin, Senior Fellow at Massey College, Former Director of Journalism at the University of Toronto-Scarborough and author of Trusting the News in a Digital Age.
