The Morning Show with Devon Peacock

On today’s show, we began with Canada’s medal outlook on Day 13 of the Winter Olympics and reaction to a dramatic men’s hockey win over Czechia. We then turned to a heated planning committee meeting at London city hall that saw the public gallery cleared and councillors exchange accusations over a proposed 30-storey tower at Ridout and Kent. Our weekly panel with John Fyfe-Millar and Jeremy McCall examined Alberta MP Matt Jeneroux’s decision to join the Liberals and what it means for the political landscape, along with Fanshawe College’s 160 job cuts and looming OSAP changes. We wrapped up with Brad Field from Homes For Heroes Foundation discussing a $4 million donation that will speed up construction of the London Veteran Village at Parkwood Institute.

On today’s Morning Show Podcast, Ontario Community Support Association CEO Lori Holloway warns Budget 2026 must include new funding to prevent cuts to home care and community services. Premier Doug Ford defends his government’s reduction in post-secondary student aid while also floating the idea of keeping shopping centres open on Family Day. Ward 7 Councillor Corrine Rahman explains a proposal calling for stricter parking requirements and driveway flexibility in new residential developments. Canadian Curling Hall of Famer Peter Inch weighs in on the Olympic double touch controversy, arguing the rule doesn’t provide an advantage and isn’t likely to change. The show wraps with a lighter segment on a former U.S. president clarifying comments about aliens and the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe.
