The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson:
Need a cry? Or some inspiration? Try Dial-a-Poet, the newest venture from Hamilton arts collective, Monday Press. What are the economic forces and the political forces at play in The Freeland Situation? The Hamilton Food Truck Festival is returning to Gage Park this weekend! Brian Lilley says, in a new piece for the Toronto Sun, that the Science Centre’s decline has made it beyond repair. Biden had no small amount of difficulty at his recent NATO speaking engagement. Calling Ukrainian President Zelenskyy “President Putin” and his own Vice President Kamala Harris “Vice-President Trump” might be a bit more than old fashioned Biden gaffes. Whether it is warranted or not, people have begun panic-buying alcohol in Ontario. Canada’s NATO commitments announcement was a dramatic change in course. Are we seeing a pattern repeat in what is taking place with Chrystia Freeland and Trudeau’s cabinet? The Because Beer Festival begins tonight!
