Hamilton Today with Scott Thompson

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson:

It is “dangerously hot and humid” in parts of Ontario, right now. Recently writing in the National Post, Randall Denley says that Ontario’s just-replaced education minister, Stephen Lecce “is one of those relatively rare politicians who wants to accomplish something in the job and has the skills to do it.” Canada will continue to have “tough conversations” and pursue diplomacy with foreign states accused of interfering in democratic institutions, including China and India, Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly says. A smartphone made for kids has launched in Canada. Brian Lilley joins us to discuss what some call the “last stand” for Yonge-Dundas Square. There is so much strife in the world, we turn to entertainment for a break… and find word of even Wheel of Fortune having trouble. Reportedly, Vanna White 'doesn't jibe' with Ryan Seacrest and could quit 'Wheel of Fortune' early. Hamilton should offer compensation or tax breaks to businesses forced to suffer through months of construction on big projects like LRT, says the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. We are seeing a timeline emerge for the potential LCBO workers strike.
