The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson: The Ontario government has revealed a plan for fast-tracking teens who want careers in the trades. The law enforcement practice of high-speed pursuit is facing increased scrutiny, following the deadly Whitby 401 crash. Freeland has left out the capital gains tax from the upcoming budget implementation bill. Ontario Premier Doug Ford is facing dissent over a decision to create an Ottawa office led by Sean Webster, the Progressive Conservative Party’s candidate who lost the 2023 by-election in Kanata-Carleton. Poilievre got ejected from The House for calling Prime Minister Justin Trudeau a “wacko”. Was this a shrewd political manoeuvre? The Meta News Ban leaves Canadians in danger, according to a new piece in The Conversation, co-authored by Professor Archie McLean. Where is this situation going? We heard what Ontario Education Minister Stephen Lecce had to say about the cellphone ban, when he joined the show on Monday. Now, we look at the distraction factor posed by cellphones in classrooms, as well as the overall situation created by the ban, and what sort of impact it may actually have. The Canadian Dental Association has released a statement responding the federal dental care plan.
