The Morning Show with Devon Peacock

On today’s edition of The Morning Show Podcast, we began with the escalating tension in Ingersoll, where workers at the Cami Assembly plant say they will seize the facility if GM tries to remove machinery tied to its future. We then spoke with Ward 8 Councillor Steve Lehman about London surpassing $2.2 billion in building permits for the second consecutive year and the green light for two high-rises on the Crossings Pub site. After that, we looked at council’s decision to reject low-risk home food production, despite provincial rules that allow it. Our weekly panel with John Fyfe-Millar and Ryan Gauss tackled the season’s first snowfall, London’s plowing strategy, and the idea of 24/7 construction. We wrapped with a lighter segment on unusual Christmas gifts, from Apple’s pricey “iPhone Pocket” to Oprah’s high-end holiday picks.

London city hall considers extending its e-scooter pilot program while warning parents not to buy scooters for kids under 16. Councillor Sam Trosow discusses how small businesses will lose blue box service in 2026 due to new provincial rules and what the city might do in response. Craig Pickthorne from the Ontario Living Wage Network breaks down London’s new living wage of $21.05. Public health expert Dr. Timothy Sly explains why Canada has lost its measles elimination status after 25 years. And finally, we remember former NBA star and London Lightning coach Micheal Ray Richardson, who has died at the age of 70.
