Halton Region Paramedic Day is coming up on Saturday, May 25, and that means the public has the opportunity to meet Halton’s paramedics and learn more about what they do. Can the lyrics in a song, directed at an identifiable person, land you in legal trouble? Petro Canada is offering a limited-time “fuel savings” opportunity today, at select locations across major markets in Ontario: prices drop to 10 cents a litre! This morning saw the official groundbreaking ceremony for Hamilton’s FirstOntario Centre. Some out in B.C. are floating the idea of their provincial Liberals and Conservatives parties teaming up to defeat the NDP. The City of Hamilton is looking at offering to pay for trash cleanup on private properties that are located near where encampments have been set up. Political commentator Rahim Mohamed, joins us to share his thoughts on news of the provincial Liberals and the Conservatives potentially merging in British Columbia, to take on the NDP, and what that signifies.
