Nick Bontis from the DeGroote School of Business joins us to look at the business world and the economy.
How damaging is a snow storm like the one in Buffalo to the economy? On one hand you have truck traffic slowed for days, delaying deliveries. On the other hand, the storm is putting more people to work, helping to remove the snow. Do the economic benefits balance any negative effects?
Let’s talk about road salt. Last year, there was a shortage. Have supplies recovered or will we see another shortage if this early winter weather continues?
How much does road salt cost? Have prices increased at all?
Finally, there’s two big football games in Hamilton this weekend. McMaster Marauders Saturday and the Tiger-Cats on Sunday. Both teams having very successful seasons the past two years. How does Hamilton’s football reputation impact the city’s business reputation?
