The Morning Show with Devon Peacock

The Blue Jays’ playoff run is capturing the nation’s attention as a new poll shows baseball interest booming across Canada. We also speak with United Way Elgin Middlesex CEO Kelly Ziegner about rising financial anxiety and how local families are feeling the pressure. Thames Valley trustee Sherri Moore discusses why school boards are fighting to remain elected as the province considers sweeping changes. Mike Stubbs breaks down the London Knights’ winning streak ahead of a big rivalry weekend against Kitchener, and we wrap up with a look at Halloween for grown-ups — and the candies everyone’s talking about.

On today’s edition of The Morning Show Podcast, we take a closer look at London’s ongoing effort to tackle public drug use, with police reporting hundreds of interactions and signs of progress under their open-air substance use strategy. Councillor Anna Hopkins joins us to talk about city council’s pushback against the province’s plan to ban speed cameras. We also sit down with Dennis Garnhum, the director of The Play That Goes Wrong, opening this weekend at The Grand Theatre. And our weekly panel with Steve Cordes and Bob Smith covers two hot topics: London’s garbage collection debate and Premier Doug Ford’s unusual story about threatening a shoplifter.
