Happy Birthday Timmy's! You don't look a day over 60.

Hamilton Today with Scott Thompson

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson:

Get your firework safety tips right from Hamilton's Fire Chief ahead of the long weekend! The inquiry into foreign interference is highlighting the reality of the situation that diaspora communities have been dealing with for a while. Gage Park will play host to a poutine feast over the course of this long weekend! What will the future of Hamilton’s downtown core look like, as the city leans into the entertainment industry with the renovations to the FirstOntario Centre? The Hamilton Lawyer's Shows that run at Theatre Aquarius showcase the artistic talents of lawyers and judges and raising money for local charities, and this year marks their 40th anniversary. Loblaw has signed onto the grocery code of conduct. Will that appease people? Trudeau’s government has cut the budget of Canada’s information commissioner, which will impede Canadians’ ability to receive timely information – including journalists' Freedom-Of-Information request – and make it more difficult to hold the government to account. Tim Hortons is celebrating its 60th anniversary!
