The Morning Show with Devon Peacock

On today’s edition of The Morning Show Podcast, we started with Premier Doug Ford’s hopes that Prime Minister Mark Carney will label his 401 tunnel plan a nation-building project, along with the growing concern over Beer Store closures and the province’s container return system. We then spoke with Sebastián Vallejo Vera from Western University about Carney’s upcoming trade talks in Mexico. From there, we looked at how to attract more people into the trades with Jeremy Marks from Literacy Link South Central. Kris Ronan from Ginger Goat joined us to preview Goat Fest in Kitchener-Waterloo, and we wrapped up with a strange story of a Russian woman who sold her soul for about $1,600 Canadian to fund her doll collection and a concert ticket.

On today’s edition of The Morning Show Podcast, we spoke with Councillor Steve Lehman about the stalled plans for a new city hall after developers showed little interest in partnering with the city. We looked at frustration from local union leaders as GM delays production at the CAMI plant in Ingersoll while shifting battery work to the U.S. Our weekly panel with Murray Faulkner and Roger Caranci dug into whether London risks being left out of future high-speed rail plans and if mandatory national service would be a good idea for young Canadians. And finally, we wrapped up with a look at a new wedding trend where couples ask guests to swipe credit cards at the bar to help pay for honeymoons.
