The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson:

Stephen Lecce, Ontario’s new energy minister, says the province can’t afford an “ideological” push to wean its electricity system off fossil fuels even amidst growing concerns about climate change. Elizabeth May says every federal leader should view the documents on Canadian politicians who allegedly wittingly and unwittingly participated in foreign interference. We look to the U.S. and their upcoming election, because they have their own concerns about foreign interference. U.S. President Joe Biden will reportedly urge fellow leaders of Group of Seven nations to support ceasefire negotiations and encourage Hamas to accept a proposal backed by Israel. It is all coming up on the Hamilton Today Podcast!
