Synopsis

Comments by a local MPP suggest that the province is open to discussing the Eastgate extension for LRT. Will this appease the anti LRT councilors? Guest: Larry DiIanni. Former Mayor, Lobbyist, City of Hamilton. Residents by Spencer Gorge, Webster’s and Tews Falls are tired of people abusing the area surrounding their homes (defecating on lawns and using their patio furniture without permission). Now they’re saying a shuttle to the falls is the last thing they want or need. Guest: Mark Osborne, Preserve and Protect Webster's and Tew's Falls Greensville. Guest: Lisa Burnside, Chief Administrative Officer, Hamilton Conservation Authority.  The US government has imposed a duty on softwood lumber. These preliminary duties can range from 3% to 24% and are affective as of next week. Guest: Michael Veall, Professor with the Department of Economics at McMaster University. Guest: Harry Nelson, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Forestry at the University of British Columbia.
