The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson: How will cottagers be hit by the capital gains tax, and how can they prepare for the impact? The U.S. Surgeon General wants to put warning labels on social media, like on cigarettes. Announced this afternoon, the public inquiry into foreign interference will probe the explosive allegations that parliamentarians “wittingly” helped foreign governments and demonstrated behaviour that one federal leader said could be described as “dumb, unethical” or “foolish.” Convenience stores can now apply for alcohol licenses in Ontario. Liberal vote share drops to lowest level since 2015. General Wayne Eyre says he’s “cautiously optimistic” that the Canadian Armed Forces is on the “upswing,” with new commitments to defence spending, slow improvements to recruitment, and a recognition of security as a top priority for both the government and Canadians. The LCBO workers have voted to go on strike. Is that a good move for them, as the Ford government creates more opportunities for acquiring alcohol? By hiking capital gains, is Canada taking away another incentive for doctors to stay?
