Hamilton Today with Scott Thompson

How is the Liberal party responding to concerns over these papers from the public? Are the claims in the document true? How do the Liberals intend to make up the money lost in the 25% cut?

Guest: Glen Thibeault, Minister of Energy, Ontario Liberal Party.

Ontario Liberal documents outlining how hydro prices will spike in four years became public yesterday. The Liberals had promised a 25% rate cut by June 1st, however these papers indicate that is not a long term plan.

Guest: Tom Adams. Independent Energy & Environmental Consultant.

Discussing the developments in the Trump-Comey saga. Trump broke from his previous claim that Comey was fired over the mishandling of Hilary Clinton’s emails, now saying it was because he’s a showboat and because of “the Russia thing”. Trump also tweeted this morning that Comey had better be careful there aren’t “tapes” of their previous conversations, before he starts talking to the press. Threat?

Is this a game-changer for the tobacco industry?

Guest: David Hammond, Associate professor at University of Waterloo in the School of Public Health and Health Systems.

Guest: Rob Cunningham, Senior Policy Analyst, Canadian Cancer Society.
