The Morning Show with Devon Peacock

It was a busy day at London city hall, where councillors tackled garbage collection, green bin rules, and approved 60 micro modular shelters for the homeless. Premier Doug Ford’s story about confronting a Home Depot shoplifter made headlines as he used it to call for tougher bail laws. We also heard from Dr. Glenn Bauman at London Health Sciences Centre about a new imaging tool that could help save the lives of men with recurring prostate cancer. And tech analyst Carmi Levy weighed in on Meta’s plan to restrict Instagram for teens to PG-13-level content — and whether the company can really deliver.

On today’s edition of The Morning Show Podcast, London Police Chief Thai Truong says the city’s open-air drug use strategy is working and outlines plans for a new community resource centre at Masonville Place. Murray Faulkner and Roger Caranci debate whether Canada should take China’s trade deal swapping canola for electric vehicles — and whether Canada Post’s rotating strikes are a sign the door-to-door era is ending. We also hear from Big Bike Giveaway co-founder Monica Hodgson about their search for new storage space after 12 years of helping Londoners get rolling. Plus, a look at whether we’ve finally reached “peak social media” as people around the world — especially young ones — spend less time online.
