The Hamilton Today Podcast with guest host Scott Radley:
This Olympics has garnered controversy in multiple events, including the opening ceremony. Does it really stand out from other years, in this regard, and are these controversies something raise concern? Hamas has named Yahya Sinwar, as its new leader. Yahya is the group’s top official in Gaza, and the mastermind behind the October 7 attacks in Israel. Christopher Dummit has written a new piece for the National Post on language around social issues – like homelessness – is changing, literally, and what the implications may be. What happens if there is a rail strike, and how will our ports be impacted? Federal Conservative leader and Prime Ministerial hopeful Pierre Poilievre is in Hamilton and around today, sharing his plans for taxes and the cost of living in Canada. He joins us now. Is the Harris-Walz Democratic Presidential ticket really “Canada’s Team”? The former U.S. ambassador to Canada seems to think so. Yesterday, Mayor Andrea Horwath used her Strong Mayor Powers to call on city staff to come up with a plan for temporary shelters at serviced “sanctioned” sites, in response to Hamilton’s homelessness crisis. More Strong Mayors across Ontario are getting comfortable with their powers, and finding uses for them. Is this a good thing, or are the powers detrimental to municipal democracy? Conservatives call for a probe into how someone with ties to ISIS even made it into Canada originally. It is all coming up on Hamilton Today!
