The Morning Show with Devon Peacock

Today’s Morning Show begins with breaking news out of British Columbia, where a deadly school shooting in Tumbler Ridge left 10 people dead and dozens injured. The focus then shifts to London city hall, where councillors wrapped up a marathon meeting debating homelessness policy, the mayor’s home ownership incentive plan, and a pilot project for free high school bus passes. We hear from Ark Aid Street Mission executive director Sarah Campbell on London’s warming centre thresholds and new partnerships with churches to expand emergency beds. West Region OPP media relations coordinator Derek Rogers joins the show to discuss Snowmobile Safety Week following four fatalities this year, including the death of a 19-year-old rider. The program also features a conversation with CMHA Thames Valley CEO Pam Tobin about a new mental health partnership with the London Knights, before wrapping up with a look at Day 5 of the Winter Olympics and Canada’s chances to add more medals.

On today’s edition of The Morning Show Podcast, we start with a Day 4 update from the Winter Olympics as Canada earns its first silver medal in short-track speedskating. We then speak with London Police deputy chief Paul Bastien about the ongoing explosives investigation and a provincial review into police accountability. Next, Chuck Lazenby from the Unity Project joins us to explain why homelessness agencies are pushing back against proposed Good Neighbour clauses. We look at U.S. President Donald Trump’s comments threatening to block the Gordie Howe International Bridge, and examine why renewed attention on the Epstein files could turn the story into a global issue. We wrap up with the weekly panel, breaking down safety concerns in Old East Village, the city’s long-running Good Neighbour debate, and growing speculation about a possible spring federal election.
