Hamilton Today with Scott Thompson

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Radley:

Are you a fan of wine? It is the preferred drink of many a Canadian, and wine connoisseurs may have to cut back on their favourite Niagara-grown-grape-drink; Niagara region vineyards are seeing some of the worst winter damage in 17 years: early estimates say around 50 per cent of grape vines are damaged. Despite warmer weather bringing benefits to vineyards, the unpredictability of winter has become problematic. Debbie Inglis, Brock University’s director of Cool Climate Oenology joins Scott for more on that. The City of Hamilton hit a new milestone for 2022: surpassing $1 billion worth of construction costs by June. 2022 now marks the earliest the City has reached the billion-dollar mark in construction value. This milestone represents 3761 building projects in the residential, institutional, commercial, and industrial sectors. Hamilton’s director of Economic Development, Norm Schleehan, speaks to this development. Is Canada in a recession? Polling says that many Canadians think the economy is already there, but Marvin Ryder of the Degroote School of Business has some words to the contrary for Scott. It is all coming up on the Hamilton Today Podcast.
