The Morning Show with Devon Peacock

Today on The Morning Show Podcast: Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada’s ports could be the first big test of his nation-building agenda, with the Port of Montreal’s Contrecoeur expansion among the projects in line. London city council continues to wrestle with its code of conduct as Ward 4 Councillor Susan Stevenson questions whether social media should be included and whether the city needs its own code when the province is working on one as well. London Transit is considering new routes for several fast-growing neighbourhoods, including Innovation Park and west Byron. We also hear from organizers of the Walk of Champions in Dorchester, back for its 17th year in support of multiple myeloma research. Plus, new national guidelines say vaping should only be a last resort for those trying to quit smoking.

On today’s edition of The Morning Show, Premier Doug Ford was in London promising a ban on animal testing for dogs and cats, while also delivering $12 million through the Building Faster Fund and hinting at possible program changes, with London’s first office-to-residential conversion nearly complete. The Tuesday Panel with Murray Faulkner and Roger Caranci looked at whether Canadians are still “elbows up,” the impact of retaliatory tariffs, and London’s overnight parking rules. We also spoke with Molly McCracken from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives about a report showing London among the worst cities in Canada for child care access. Plus, we dug into “maple washing” and how consumers can be misled about Canadian-made products, and wrapped up with a look at the Toronto Blue Jays’ playoff chances, which sit near 100 percent.
