Global Affairs Canada cyber attack, political history of COVID, the Freedom Convoy and more

Hamilton Today with Scott Thompson

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson

The world is watching! With increasing instances of cyber-attacks including on Global Affairs Canada, what is the state of national and international security cyber or otherwise? Similarly, should our Canadian athletes take steps to protect their smart devices in China with their abysmal privacy track record? Although COVID is still wreaking havoc on Canada’s healthcare and education systems, with high absentee rates in schools, the US seems to be heading back to normal. How is Florida in particular managing? Scott’s friend in the Sunshine State gives us a look at what it is like on the ground. Scott also digs into the political history of COVID as we approach the two year anniversary of this pandemic.
