Did Bob Bratina push politics during Yousef Al-Hasnawi's memorial? How should we prevent hospital staff from being assaulted? Is Ward 14 being split a good thing? Is there another approach to bullying?

b"During a memorial for Yousef Al-Hasnawi, the good samaritan that was shot and killed, MP Bob Bratina said something that upset many people. It's being said that he used this event as a way to promote his political ideals. Was this an appropriate place to say what he did?\\n\\nGuest: Bob Bratina, Member of Parliament for Hamilton East-Stoney Creek-A study has shown that over two thirds of front-line hospital workers (nurses, personal support workers, cleaners, etc) have been assaulted, harassed and worse while on the job. How is it that we can be letting this happen to those that literally take care of our population? What should we do to diminish this problem?\\n\\nGuest: Michael Hurley, President of Ontario Council of Hospital Unions-Ward 14 is going to be split into two wards to better reflect the population. Currently, Ward 14 covers rural Flamborough but will be split up into the Dundas and Ancaster wards which will make the size of the wards across Hamilton a lot more consistent. This change will also be coming with some minor adjustments to some of the surrounding wards too. Is this a good decision?\\n\\nGuest: Donna Skelly, Ward 7 Councillor-A video has gone viral showing a boy crying in a car as a result of being bullied by other students at school. It has been recently discovered that his mother may have allegedly held some racist views and opinions that he may have picked up and brought to the classroom. Would bullying a boy with an allegedly racist mother help him?\\n\\nGuest: Kathleen Wright, Bullying Expert"
