We also look at London's plans to take a tougher approach to invasive species and rat infestations as both issues continue to concern neighbourhoods across the city. Our weekly panel weighs in on a proposed pilot project to provide overnight cleaning in the downtown core and whether new provincial powers to remove councillors from office set the bar too high for accountability.
