The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson:

Foreign interference did not change the outcome of Canada’s 2019 and 2021 federal elections but did “succeed in part” because it eroded public trust. The theme of this weekend’s Doors Open Hamilton event is music and there is lots to see and hear. The Trans Mountain Expansion pipeline “victory” and the future of pipelines in Canada. A new poll suggests a majority of Canadians feel their right to freedom of speech is in danger. We are joined by Pierre Poilievre to discuss drug decriminalization and other top stories from this week. It is all coming up on the Hamilton Today Podcast!
