The Morning Show with Devon Peacock

On today’s edition of The Morning Show Podcast, we opened with London’s growing gun violence crisis after six shootings in 72 hours pushed the city to a record 29 incidents this year, fueled in part by crime guns from the United States. We then looked at a proposal at city hall that could require new homebuyers to spend up to $10,000 disconnecting weeping tiles to reduce stormwater entering the Thames River, raising questions about affordability. Our weekly panel discussed the call from Ontario’s largest mayors for the province to declare a homelessness state of emergency and whether enough has been done to address ongoing family doctor shortages. We closed with a conversation about a $27,000 donation made in memory of Catherine Brown to support transplant patients at London Health Sciences Centre.

Today’s edition of The Morning Show Podcast begins with the growing uncertainty for holiday travellers as Air Transat pilots prepare for a potential strike that could begin Wednesday. We then turn to the looming loss of blue-bin collection for hundreds of small businesses and non-profits in London, before Mayor Josh Morgan joins us to discuss micro modular shelter sites and whether the city can preserve recycling services. The show also looks at President Donald Trump’s cautious comments about restarting stalled Canada-U.S. trade talks, followed by Global News’ Colin D’Mello breaking down the final week of the fall session at Queen’s Park and what to expect in 2026. We wrap with a look at Mississauga’s proposed fines for homeowners and contractors whose construction dust drifts onto neighbouring properties.
