It's almost impossible to watch any sporting event without being bombarded by ads for online gambling sites. This can be a dangerous thing, especially for kids who can't escape the ads and who are increasingly thinking of gambling as an integral part of being a sports fan.

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson: The Spirit of Edmonton Party has come to town along with all the other Grey Cup fun. Small and independent businesses have concerns about stacking up against Amazon's “power imbalance.” A jury in Windsor, Ont., has reached a decision in the landmark trial of Nathaniel Veltman, accused of deliberately running over a Muslim family in London, in what the Crown had argued was an act of terrorism. Next week, you should talk to a stranger. In fact, you should make a habit of it, despite what your parents might have taught you. Canadian foreign policy and how our government is handling its response to the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza. If history is any indication, the Federal Liberals likely won't bounce back from the depths they've reached. That's what Lawrence Martin argues in his newest piece for the Globe and Mail.

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. Psychology of talking so much about hate: does it breed suspicion and more hate and divisiveness? Where in the world is Prime Minister Trudeau? And shouldn't the answer be Ottawa?!

Dr. Steve Joordens returns to the show with Lilaani Thangavadivelu to join host Mike Palmer in a conversation about their recent research into collaborative project-based learning approaches that enable transformative learning experiences at scale.

What lessons can we learn about the importance of relevance, the skills that lead to a growth mindset, and how this all connects to building a portfolio that's well-suited to the rapidly-changing future of work? And how are humility and failure part of the secrets of Steve's success? Listen in to find out. Don't miss this deep dive into how scalable experiential learning can happen everywhere.

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson: As the Government continues to respond to foreign interference concerns and information coming out of CSIS, some are seeing the situation become increasingly drastic… including the suggestion that this may be cause for Prime Minister Trudeau to step aside.

Leafs play again tonight: what do they need to do to stay in the right head space? Steve Joordens takes us through techniques athletes can use under pressure, which might even be of use to those of us not on the ice. Ed Sheeran has won the ‘Thinking Out Loud' copyright case, defending accusations of plagiarizing ‘Let's Get it On.' The Ontario NDP is distancing itself from a newly elected MPP's reposted social-media message that mourned the death of a Palestinian hunger striker associated with a terrorist group, saying that neither the party nor the member of the provincial Parliament share those views. Testifying before a House committee Wednesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's brother Alexandre 'Sacha' Trudeau insisted there has been "no foreign interference, no possibility of interference, no intention or means of interference at or through the Trudeau Foundation."

Host Mike Palmer is joined by Dr. Steve Joordens, Dr. Irameet Kaur, and Dr. Atef Abuhmaid for a panel conversation about their recent paper titled The Convertible Learning System: A Certainty for Our Uncertain Times. We learn how the group first came together around Steve's online courses and peerScholar, a learning product that Steve developed that Atef discovered while teaching educational technology at Hashemite University in Jordan, From there, things rapidly shifted with the onset of the pandemic in 2020, leading the group to partner on the paper describing how to design learning experiences that leverage asynchronous instruction, synchronous collaboration, and peer-to-peer assessment to enable the resilience, flexibility, and social emotional skill development students need in these challenging times. We get insight from a broad cross-section of the global learning landscape with Atef and Irameet providing their perspectives from Jordan and India respectively to round out the work Steve and Irameet have doing at the University of Toronto in Canada.
