The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson:
After a few delays, NASA's new rocket, Artemis 1, is scheduled to launch tomorrow. Where'd the Americans go? There have been fewer tourists from the U.S. than some would expect – or hope for – over this year. What is the cause? Arcade Fire was already facing a disruption, with singer Win Butler set to leave and pursue more solo work after this tour... now multiple allegations of sexual misconduct have been raised against him. These are the last days of 2022 for the tours of Dundurn's historic Kitchen Garden. After learning that the federal government's plans for addressing the housing crisis involve supports for rent-to-own models, many Canadians have asked... "how does rent-to-own work for housing?" Bell Media, the owners of CTV, may have more trouble for their reputation following the dropping of Lisa LaFlamme: now we are hearing more from Jamil Jivani, who is suing Bell, alleging that he was wrongfully let go because he did NOT fit a certain stereotype for a black man. Why is Prime Minister Trudeau focusing so much attention on the GTA right now? In a new piece that ran in the National Post, Randal Denley says that the political opposition needs to focus on the big picture when it comes to the healthcare troubles in Canada. G7 Finance ministers have agreed to a price cap on Russian oil.
Guests:
Dr. Elaina Hyde, Director Allan I Carswell Observatory, Department of Physics & Astronomy, York University.
