The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson:
The Importance of radio news has been highlighted by the wildfires during the Meta news block. It’s the time of year for the Burlington Ribfest!! That is to say, Canada’s Largest Ribfest begins today! Canadian Conservative Member of Parliament Michael Chong, who was earlier in the year a subject of China’s pressure campaigns, will speak to the United States’ Congressional-Executive Commission on China. The New StatCan report say that Canada’s economy stalled in this year’s second quarter. Michael Chong is set to talk with the U.S. Congressional-Executive Commission on China. The fact that the U.S. is taking these steps is likely to irk Xi Jinping’s government, and to see Canada combined is certainly eyebrow-raising: what sort of reaction can we expect to come out of this? As the conversation around the Greenbelt continues, and rightfully raises eyebrows in some cases, we can’t lose sight of the fact that we still are in a housing crisis and need to be able to build our way out of it. With some rough poll numbers in the news, multiple crises and unresolved issues, as well as the associated grumblings from (anonymous) Liberal MP’s all in mind… we ask, could the Liberal party soon send someone to try to convince Justin Trudeau to step aside? It is all coming up on the Hamilton Today Podcast!
