The Morning Show with Devon Peacock

On today's edition of The Morning Show Podcast, we begin with Ontario's newly released data centre framework, which would require operators to cover the full cost of their electricity use while paying higher rates than other industrial customers, and hear why Premier Doug Ford says incentives are off the table. We then speak with OPSEU Local 166 president Lisa Fewster about the ongoing strike at Community Living London as it approaches the three-month mark. Next, lawyer Jeff Schlemmer joins us to discuss concerns that proposed changes at Pinery Provincial Park could result in the closure of additional campsites after dozens were already removed from Burley Campground. We also take a closer look at growing concerns that many Gen Z adults are choosing sports betting over long-term investing. Finally, Wendy Lau, CEO of LEADS Employment Services, previews the return of Pawlooza as the popular dog-focused event celebrates its 15th year in London.

On today's edition of The Morning Show Podcast, Devon Peacock speaks with Neighbourhood Legal Services executive director Kristie Pagniello about growing concerns over whether municipalities have enough tools when developers fail to follow through on commitments made during the planning process, with the discussion centred on a redevelopment project at 145 Base Line Road West. We then look at London's first major review of its school crossing guard program in 13 years as parents, principals and councillors push for improvements to student safety around schools. The show also examines newly released documents that suggest the Tumbler Ridge school shooter had an extensive fascination with firearms before the attack. London Police Acting Inspector Dave Payette joins the program to discuss new data showing auto thefts continue to decline both locally and across Canada. We also hear from Bonnie Smith of Saving Animals' Lives Together about the rescue's concerns after receiving a bill of nearly $200,000 from Ontario's animal welfare service. Finally, we look at new national data highlighting the dangers e-scooters and e-bikes can pose for children after 10 young people died in related incidents across Canada in 2025, including six in Ontario.
