Speaking with Jagmeet Singh about what brings him to town today

Hamilton Today with Scott Thompson

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson:

Today, Canada’s NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is in town to speak to media about the party’s push to make big grocer CEOs “pay their fair share,” as the press release puts it. As the federal inquiry on foreign interference by China and other nations resumed last week, hearing from activists who claim persecution by those countries, a much different sort of approach to the People’s Republic unfolded overseas: A delegation of five MPs and senators, most of them on friendly terms with Beijing, visited China, meeting officials of the unelected National People’s Congress and other state institutions. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is highlighting a fundamental unfairness about the federal carbon tax: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is requiring taxpayers in other provinces to pay a higher carbon tax than in Quebec. Was CSIS too secretive about Foreign Interference in the 2021 election? What needs to happen next for Canada to have a successful school food program? The Ontario Government’s messaging about the eclipse, particularly the highway safety signs that have had their advice to “telecommute” pulled. The federal Conservative lead over Trudeau’s Liberals is narrowing, according to new polling from Ipsos. The Hamilton Spectator has a new piece covering how the Medusa cybercrime gang has recently targeted Hamilton businesses with ransomware attacks. Who are they?
