Synopsis

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson... Ontario has announced its fall economic statement and there are some interesting ideas that the government is trying to put into place but do they make much sense? Scott found out more about Hamilton's housing price problems as well as how the volunteer-run Afghan Association of Hamilton has been relying on Hamiltonian's donations of food and essential items to help refugees. We often hear about how people would like to see billionaires spend their money and some are doing just that but is the money being donated being used to its maximum potential? What has made COVID-19 the most disruptive event for Canadian intelligence since 9/11 according to CSIS' Deputy Director? And we remember the legacy left behind by former Ontario Premier, Bill Davis. All this, plus the usual gang of reporters, anchors, producers and hosts join in to wish Ted Michaels a Happy Birthday (and some even attempt to sing)! Guests: Dr. Ahmad Firas Khalid, Health Policy expert Donna Bac
