The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson: The Ontario NDP's handling of Hamilton City Centre MPP Sarah Jama and the situation that arose from her statements. Canada faces an uphill battle to recoup the roughly C$35 billion ($25.74 billion) in taxpayers' money it has sunk into the Trans Mountain oil pipeline, as uncertainty over shipping tolls and a limited pool of buyers cloud the asset's unique strategic value. In a new piece for the National Post, Tasha Kheiriddin argues that “Lumping Israelis and Palestinians into the false dichotomy of colonizer and colonized, as Ontario NDP MPP Sarah Jama did, only serves to perpetuate division and violence.” We also tackle the international response to the conflict between Israel and Hamas.

And it's becoming increasingly clear the Ford government is suffering on both fronts. We're joined in this episode by CTV's Queen's Park Bureau Chief, Colin D'Mello.
