Scott Thompson Show

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson Scott started today off talking about Russian vodka being pulled from LCBO shelves and swiftly the Prime Minister gave an announcement of Canada’s contributions to Ukraine’s war effort both militarily for Ukraine and economically against Russia. Among the mentioned sanctions was Canada no longer importing crude oil from Russia. Scott wonders why we are importing crude oil from Russia in the first place!? Christian Leuprecht also wonders this as he and Scott speak about Russia’s strategy now. Elliot Tepper also gave us insight on if Vladimir Putin knows things are not going the way he wanted them to, and what the global outcry may – or may not – mean to him. Also covered was the possible plight Ukrainian refugees may encounter coming into Canada, Canada’s travel restrictions that have eased, and the Chinese-Canadian oligarch who has $154 million in real estate across the Greater Toronto Area going back to 2015.
