The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Radley:
A new report from Global News looks at how momentum behind housing starts in Ontario has decreased significantly. What is happening in Venezuela? An argument between Air Canada staff and a passenger, allegedly over a blanket, led to a flight being cancelled and apparently other passengers walking off in solidarity. How are the Paris Olympics fairing in the ratings, and what does their ratings performance mean for our national broadcaster? Big Tech, algorithms and artificial intelligence are not objective. So, what does this mean when politics and an election year enter the mix? An update from the Montreal Alouettes gives our Ticats something to be anxious about. Let’s talk about Chrystia Freeland, and if she has anything to worry about. A piece in the Toronto Star highlights the failures of the Trudeau government’s attempt to save journalism in Canada.
