How should we interpret Hamilton's rising gun violence?

Hamilton Today with Scott Thompson

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson:

Changing a tire? First aid? Ontario is getting ready to update its home ec courses — and wants your input on what needs to change. In the National Post, Randall Denley writes that running against Justin Trudeau is Doug Ford's best reason for an early-ish election. We take a look at the Canadian Open and how it played out. We look at the benefits that can come from the focus on financial literacy in Ontario high schools. The world’s first Masters program in psychedelics and their therapeutic uses is coming to University of Ottawa. Justice Minister Arif Virani says he wants to ensure principles meant to guide bail decisions are being upheld as police anecdotally report high rates of people on bail re-offending. What do we make of the proliferation of gun violence reports in Hamilton? The federal Liberal government learned Friday it might have to retreat on a proposal within its electoral reform legislation to delay the next vote by one week, after all opposition parties came out to say they can't support it.
