The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson:

Depending on the vehicles you drive, you may pay 37% more than average insurance costs due to thefts. Ontario Premier Doug Ford suggested Thursday that immigrants were responsible for shooting at a Jewish girls' elementary school in North York, despite police saying they have little information on the suspects. Niagara police say they’ve solved a 25-year-old murder using DNA and genetic genealogy connecting the death of a Toronto woman to a suspect from Northern Ontario. Coming to the Westdale Theatre on June 9, "an Indigenous collaboration that is not to be missed!" Featuring Sultans of String, Alyssa Delbaere-Sawchuk, Marc Meriläinen (Nadjiwan), and Shannon Thunderbird, and a multimedia extravaganza featuring Northern Cree, Duke Redbird, Inuit singers and more in a one-of-a-kind show! Signs of slowing economic growth could set up “fireworks” at the Bank of Canada’s interest rate decision next week, one economist says, as odds rise for the first rate cut of the cycle. The Trump hush-money verdict is in, and Donald Trump is lashing out. Some special events will be taking place in the night sky over the next few days! It is all coming up on the Hamilton Today Podcast!
