Summer Vacation Abroad… But Not TOO Abroad?

Hamilton Today with Scott Thompson

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson:

The 2024 Summer Travel Outlook by Deloitte Canada found that 74% of Canadian respondents plan to stay within the country on their next trip amidst high costs of living. Barbie dolls will honour Canadian soccer star Christine Sinclair and tennis champion Venus Williams, plus seven other athletes as part of a project announced by Mattel on Wednesday. The new Donald Trump biopic screening at Cannes is causing a stir, and predictably, the Trump re-election campaign is one of the parties stirred up about it. It has been officially announced that Toronto will be home to Canada’s first Women’s National Basketball Association team. The Liberal government is facing pushback from Justice Marie-Josée Hogue for citing cabinet confidentiality in redacting records provided to the public inquiry investigating meddling by China and other hostile states in Canadian democracy. New polling from Abacus looks at whether Canadians think that capital gains tax changes will impact their access to physicians. It is all coming up on the Hamilton Today Podcast!
