Scott Thompson Show

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson: The annual pace of inflation rose in April for the first time since it peaked in June last year, a move some economists say will test the Bank of Canada's decision to pause hiking interest rates if the economy does not cool as expected later this year.

It is all coming up on the Hamilton Today Podcast! Guests: Michael Veall, Professor Econo
