It's federal budget day!

Hamilton Today with Scott Thompson

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson:

Are the Tesla layoffs a sign of rough times for the EV industry – or is it something else? We look at the federal dental care plan, and the Ontario Dental Association's thoughts about it, in light of the hesitancy some Alberta dentists are expressing toward signing up. NASA confirmed Monday that a mystery object that crashed through the roof of a Florida home last month was a chunk of space junk from equipment discarded at the International Space Station. StatsCan released its March Inflation report today. Rising gas prices played a part in what we have seen. Tim Hortons has now made the jump to... pizza. It's part of a move to "stretch the brand" into the afternoon and nighttime. How will the budget play out, politically? Highway 413 is moving forward, with a memorandum of understanding being signed by the federal and provincial governments. What changed? We get The Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s reaction to today’s unveiling of the federal budget. Checking in with Scott on the latest stories from today and what’s coming up on The Scott Radley Show 6-8pm!
