The Ford government's highly controversial Bill 5 was the big Ontario political story this week, so Craig is joined by advocate Frances Moore, former Green Party candidate Carol Dyck and first time round tabler Sara Mai Chitty to break it all down.

Why is the bill so controversial? Why are Indigenous communities, especially, so concerned by it? And what could the political impacts be?

Then, Craig and the panel look at the potential budget cuts at London City Hall. Council wants to save money, can they do that without major service impacts? What should council be focused on to bring down the tax rate.

Then, they wrap up by quickly discussing the city and Farhi Holdings working together to convert office space into housing.
