Would It Be The Olympics Without Controversy & Scandal?

Hamilton Today with Scott Thompson

The Hamilton Today Podcast with guest host Scott Radley:

The Hamilton-Burlington area is seeing its real estate sales drop while inventory is growing, why? The Olympic boxing gender scandal can be confusing to some while clear-cut to others but what's happened and in what state does it leave things for men's & women's sports? Cuba's strength in the sporting department has been undeniable for many years but this year's Olympic delegation is the smallest in decades which might be a sign of the crisis the country faces. Is Hamilton City Council handcuffing its police department? Canada's drone-spying scandal isn't as unusual as it may seem and it isn't as harmful of a cheating situation as what many, too many, athletes face. Where should we turn our attention to instead of spying with drones? Have the Blue Jays made appropriate trades to turn things around? Climate change, taxes and interest rates are no longer the top concern for Ontario's voters as immigration takes the top spot. Back-to-back wins are always a good sign but will it be enough for the Ticats as they get set to take on the Montreal Alouettes? It is all coming up on the Hamilton Today Podcast!
