Political speechwriters have an important role to play in any election campaign. And of course, there's an art to their craft. So, what ingredients go into effective speechwriting? What makes some speeches memorable, and others miss the mark entirely? Host Steve Paikin asks: Jeni Armstrong, former lead speechwriter for Justin Trudeau, and Assistant Professor of Political Management at Carleton University; Michael Taube, former speech writer for Stephen Harper, and a columnist for the National Post, Troy Media, and Loonie Politics; and Jared A. Walker, former speechwriter for Jagmeet Singh, and Vice-Chair of the Board of Directors at Broadbent Institute. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hamilton Mayor Fred Eisenberger shares the details with Scott off the top. Despite years of Tory orthodoxy that they could only win government with a centrist, polls show a Canada that seems to be warming to a Conservative Party led by hardliner Pierre Poilievre. To dive into this burgeoning conservatism in Canada, Scott speaks with Michael Taube, former speechwriter for Stephen Harper.

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to cut gas taxes following President Joe Biden's push to lower gas taxes in the United States. The vast majority of Canadian households, especially those with kids, are worried about feeding their families amid decades-high inflation, according to a new survey. When it comes to launching satellites into orbit, about a dozen countries have their own homegrown launch vehicles that can get them into space. Canada is not among them. U.S. Senate bargainers reached agreement Tuesday on a bipartisan gun violence bill, potentially teeing up final passage by week's end on an incremental but landmark package that would stand as Congress' response to mass shootings in Texas and New York that shook the nation. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during his NIPD speech yesterday, said something to the effect that Canada's settler population was being taught in the public school system to hate Indigenous people and their cultures (in a similar vein to how the residential school system taught Indigenous children to hate themselves and their cultures.) Are the Jan 6 prime time hearings finally the thing that will give Republican moderates a chance to steer the party away from the extremes it has engaged with for years? The annual inflation rate skyrocketed to its highest level in nearly 40 years in May, fueled by soaring gas prices, Statistics Canada said Wednesday. A majority of Canadians are not pleased with how their provincial governments are handling health care, according to a new survey from the Angus Reid Institute. RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki and the former public safety minister are pushing back on suggestions they interfered in the investigation into the mass shooting in Nova Scotia in order to push gun control measures...

Tomorrow the Barton Street Festival returns and Scott asks Julie Freeman, Barton Village Festival Organizer, what to expect.

The Hamilton Today Podcast... The Bulldogs' winning streak continued last night when they took on the Missisauga Steelheads and they're looking to keep it rolling. The U.S. says it shared intelligence with Ukraine about the location of the Russian missile cruiser, Moskva, prior to the strike that sank the warship, an incident that was a high-profile failure for Russia's military but an American official said that the strike was Ukraine's decision alone. This Sunday May 8, Ukrainian virtuoso musician Vasyl Popadiuk will perform at The Zoetic Performing Arts Theatre as part of an event to help support Ukrainian families. Last night the Westdale Theatre held a special event, Hamilton Helps Ukraine.

Last night, the Conservative leadership debate was held with a lot of focus put on the sparring match between Jean Charest & Pierre Poilievre while Patrick Brown was absent altogether. Changing the way we talk about mental illness – not just that we talk about it more openly but the language that we use.
