The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson:

Legendary comedian Bob Newhart has died. We are looking for more insight on how other municipalities address the housing and homelessness crisis, as Hamilton Council is considering altering the current tent encampment protocols. Canada’s Chief of Defence Staff says that our nation as well as the U.S. have five years to prepare for new threats from Russia and China. In The National Post, Rahim Mohamed has been covering the Palestinians who are working to oust Hamas, and have been looking for international help – including from Canadian MPs. What do we know about the global Microsoft outage? We look at Donald Trump’s RNC appearance, and look ahead to what will happen with Joe Biden. The flash floods this week have done damage across our region, and Coote’s Paradise is no exception. What has happened, and what needs to be done? LCBO have a tentative deal, but is the damage already done from the strike or will they win back the public?
