On today’s edition of The Morning Show Podcast, we look at London’s plan to use most of its renewed federal homelessness funding for the winter response and the city’s decision to review how it handles extreme heat and dangerous air quality from wildfire smoke. Ark Aid Street Mission executive director Sarah Campbell joins us to discuss the need for stable funding to continue daytime homelessness services, and London Police Chief Thai Truong weighs in on the region’s falling homicide rate and the increase in the Crime Severity Index. We also look at France’s new ban on unsolicited telemarketing calls and whether it will be more successful than Canada’s approach, along with why a passenger says the child at the centre of a Porter Airlines flight cancellation should not be blamed. Finally, Murray Faulkner and Matt Newton-Reid join our weekly panel to debate whether Canada should make concessions in trade talks with the United States and whether Ontario needs a policy governing the construction of new AI data centres.

On today's edition of The Morning Show Podcast, Ward 6 Councillor Sam Trosow discusses his call for a review of London's response to extreme heat and poor air quality from wildfire smoke, along with his push to extend bridge funding for Ark Aid Street Mission and 519 Pursuit's daytime supports and encampment outreach. Mayor Josh Morgan looks at the impact U.S. tariffs are having on London's unemployment rate, uncertainty surrounding federal funding for homelessness outreach services and the city's upcoming winter homelessness response. We also look at the federal government's discussions with the United States over possible trade concessions in exchange for tariff relief, the death of an 80-year-old woman in a British Columbia wildfire, Ontario Green Party leader Mike Schreiner's call for the Ford government to pause approvals for new AI data centres until provincial guidelines are established, and the cancellation of a Porter flight after a child refused to wear a seatbelt for takeoff.
