Time To Rethink How Canadian Military Service Is Handled?

Hamilton Today with Scott Thompson

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson:

Writing in the National Post, Tasha Kheiriddin says that it may be time to rethink how military service in Canada is handled and consider taking a cue from U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. How will the $5.1 Million donation from the Juravinski Foundation be put to use? Arts graduate education in Canada should be redesigned around students’ and society’s needs, according to a new piece in The Conversation. The Speaker of the House, Greg Fergus, has kept his post for another day. With the turnover of speakers in recent memory, and the previous trouble around Speaker Fergus, we look at the fallout of this latest vote and the waning support from MPs. The federal Conservatives are offering to team up with the federal Liberals in order to address foreign interference. A new Leger poll shows that 47% of Canadians think Justin Trudeau is hanging on to his office for selfish reasons. It is all coming up on the Hamilton Today Podcast!
