The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Radley:

Canadian carrier WestJet’s Basic fare is being replaced by “UltraBasic” fare across domestic and trans-border routes. Online streaming services will have to contribute 5% of revenue to Canada’s broadcasting system, including 2% to the Canada Media Fund and 1.5% to the Independent Local News Fund. Some Hamilton city councillors were set aback at a committee meeting when told the million-dollar reconstruction of the torched Woodlands Park public washroom will take more than a year. Tomorrow is the 80th anniversary of D-Day, and the storming of Juno beach by Canadian forces in 1944. The Bank of Canada lowered its benchmark interest rate by a quarter-percentage point on Wednesday, marking a significant turning point in the central bank’s efforts to tame inflation. It is all coming up on the Hamilton Today Podcast!
