Scott Thompson Show

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson: Canada's special rapporteur on foreign interference David Johnston calls the allegations swirling around his objectivity "quite simply false," and says he plans to push ahead with his work, launching public hearings next month. Do you remember the time in June of 1975 when 52,000 people communed in Hamilton to catch Pink Floyd play at Ivor Wynn Stadium? Tom Blackwell was a reporter for the Canadian Press when he covered the trial of Paul Bernardo. It was an unsettling experience. He joins us to discuss the emotional resonance of the case, as well as to share his perspective on the news of Bernardo’s transfer from Maximum Security – and how that may affect those who remember the case. The Ford government is offering Ontario’s public elementary teachers a five-per cent pay increase over the next four years, Global News has learned, as contract talks between educators and the government continue. It is all coming up on the Hamilton Today Podcast! Guests: David Akin
