Fast Music? Slow Music? Not in Chechnya.

Hamilton Today with Scott Thompson

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson:

Authorities in the Russian Republic of Chechnya have announced a ban on music that they consider too fast or slow. The ban will mean that many songs in musical styles such as pop and techno will be banned. How might experiencing the eclipse affect people? What does Canada’s defence policy update mean for us, and what does it mean for our NATO allies? Pierre Poilievre is gaining ground with the youth vote. How, and what does that indicate? We look at controversy around Iroquois Ridge High School in Oakville, and the debate around changing its name. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau received briefings about foreign interference allegations related to former Liberal MP Han Dong’s riding before the 2019 election, a new document shows. McMaster University pediatric allergy expert Douglas Mack says new guidelines for oral immunotherapy will help make building up tolerance to allergens like peanuts “safer and more sustainable” for families. It is all coming up on the Hamilton Today Podcast!
