The Scott Thompson Show Podcast The Tokyo Olympics are underway. Will they take our collective minds off of the pandemic with a celebration of human determination and unity, or will the figurative cloud of COVID-19 loom over the entirety of the games? Guest: Steve Milton, Journalist for The Hamilton Spectator - Prominent members of the Republican Party are urging Americans to get their COVID-19 vaccinations. That is a change of pace, and it might be a little too late in the game. Guest: Jennifer Johnson, Washington correspondent with Global News - Is the messaging coming from the Republican party too little too late after the politicization of vaccination that has already swept the U.S. nation? Guest: Dr. Ahmad Firas Khalid, Health Policy expert - Professor Christian Leuprecht returns to the show to address Canada's treatment of Afghan interpreters, as well as Major-General Dany Fortin's future. Guest: Christian Leuprecht, Professor at both the Royal Military College of Canada and Queen's University, and a Fellow at the Macdonald Laurier Institute   Subscribe to the Scott Thompson Show wherever you find your favourite podcasts, keep up with the big stories developing in Hamilton, Ontario and across Canada: https://curiouscast.ca/podcast/189/the-scott-thompson-show/ Host - Scott Thompson Content/Technical/Podcast Producer - William P.
