Hamilton Today with Scott Thompson

British Columbia’s attorney general is threatening to sue if a new law introduced in Alberta causes gasoline prices in B.C. to skyrocket. The legislation would give Alberta the ability to cut off oil, gasoline and natural gas leaving the province, which would cause fuel prices in B.C. to jump. Any interruption to the fuel supply could send gas prices in B.C. above $2 per litre.

Is this a wise move from either party?

With the June election approaching, party leaders are revealing their party platforms. Yesterday, Doug Ford announced tax credits for minimum wage workers in lieu of raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour. Meanwhile, the NDP announced a whole laundry list of platform promises from dental coverage, healthcare spending, cutting hydro bills and relieving student debt.

Are these promises actually going to change votes?
