The Morning Show with Devon Peacock

This episode covers a marathon city hall meeting that advanced the mayor’s home ownership incentive, approved a student bus pass pilot, and confirmed move-ins at the micro-modular shelter site, followed by builder support for the housing plan, an update on the RCMP’s involvement in a national security investigation, a new CBRE outlook on commercial real estate, and a deep dive into the Artemis II mission and Canada’s role in space exploration.

Today’s Morning Show begins with a look at Canadian unity following a rare public conversation between former prime ministers Jean Chrétien and Stephen Harper. Attention then shifts to London city hall, where councillors are grappling with the cost of relocating a north-end oil pipeline, a proposed free bus pass pilot for select high school students, and the mayor’s new home ownership incentive program. Ward 6 Councillor Sam Trosow joins the show to discuss why he supports the housing plan but believes it should include existing homes. The weekly panel debates whether free transit will actually get young people riding buses and whether London missed an opportunity to mark its bicentennial. The show wraps up with a look ahead to the Winter Olympics and whether Canadians are truly excited as the Games approach.
