The Hamilton Today Podcast...
What can we expect to see this weekend at the Daytona 500? Some good news in the world of battling COVID-19, Novavax has been authorized for use in adults in Canada! What is happening in Ottawa today, as police take further action to restrict and control the protesters? Elon Musk shared a meme comparing Hitler to Justin Trudeau, once again tying his personal brand to the occupation in Ottawa, after voicing tacit support for the convoy a few weeks ago. What kind of lasting impact could this have? Law enforcement actions in Ottawa are underway, leaders of the protest have been arrested, and things have been going relatively smoothly. Even more good news from the COVID front as we hear that around 73% of US citizens are now immune to the Omicron variant but what does that mean for the US and its fight against COVID-19? Scott welcomes back to the show, John Ivison who has been out in the streets of Ottawa as well as writing about how things got to this point. Parliament postponed its continued debate of the Emergencies Act today but is that getting to be a moot point? What's the American perspective on the Ottawa occupation and has it coloured people's opinion of Canada? And travel restrictions have changed, PCR tests have dropped, and people are flooding travel agencies with bookings!
