The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson...

Scott gets an inside look at what it's like for pharmacists leading up to this weekend when booster vaccination eligibility will open up. Canada's new Defence Minister, Anita Anand, says she'll be transferring cases of sexual misconduct to the civilian justice system. How did Newfoundland and Labrador's healthcare system get hacked and could something similar happen here? As we approach Remembrance Day, questions surrounding what to do with the Canadian flag are getting asked as they're still at half mast since unmarked children's graves were found at a BC residential school. Is this really what we should be focusing on when talking about reconciliation? Ottawa is drawing up a new Indo-Pacific strategy which could be signalling a change to Canada's approach to international relations, particularly China. And NASA plans on intentionally crashing into an asteroid in the name of planetary defense!

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson...

Ontario has announced its fall economic statement and there are some interesting ideas that the government is trying to put into place but do they make much sense? Scott found out more about Hamilton's housing price problems as well as how the volunteer-run Afghan Association of Hamilton has been relying on Hamiltonian's donations of food and essential items to help refugees. We often hear about how people would like to see billionaires spend their money and some are doing just that but is the money being donated being used to its maximum potential? What has made COVID-19 the most disruptive event for Canadian intelligence since 9/11 according to CSIS' Deputy Director? And we remember the legacy left behind by former Ontario Premier, Bill Davis. All this, plus the usual gang of reporters, anchors, producers and hosts join in to wish Ted Michaels a Happy Birthday (and some even attempt to sing)!
