The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson:
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is calling for an end to corporate welfare following today’s Parliamentary Budget Officer report showing government subsidies are 14 per cent more than the capital investments corporations are making in the electric-vehicle supply chain. Video of Trudeau shouting “slava Ukraini” at a photo-op with other world leaders might be more popular than he actually is in our polls right now. Burlington Downtown Business Association will once again present Movies by the Lake in Spencer Smith Park, this summer. Cinema lovers can enjoy a free, outdoor films on Tuesday nights running from July 9th through August 20th. Ipsos polling shows support for Trudeau nearing “rock bottom” as 68% want him to step down. What will come of the new partnership deal between North Korea and Russia? What should happen to federal the committees over the summer? We look at the delay in the capital gains tax. Why has Canada listed Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization, today?
