Don't Panic! The Stock Market Will Be Fine!

Hamilton Today with Scott Thompson

The Hamilton Today Podcast with guest host Scott Radley:

A U.S. judge on Monday ruled that Google’s ubiquitous search engine has been illegally exploiting its dominance to squash competition and stifle innovation in a seismic decision that could shake up the internet and hobble one of the world’s best-known companies. Leger conducted polling how Canadians feel about the number of Government employees. A rail strike is looming, and it has Canadian shippers bracing for worst. What could be the consequences for the supply chain? This year's Festival of Friends was apparently the “best year so far” in its 48-year history. What made it so special? We look at this weekend’s stock market trouble and what it means for employers and businesses. Mayor Andrea Horwath issued a directive to have staff conduct thorough research and provide recommendations for establishing sanctioned, temporary outdoor shelter sites in the City of Hamilton. We talk Ticats… maybe with less enthusiasm than usual? What is happening with the world stock market, and should we worry? It is all coming up on the Hamilton Today Podcast!
