Sara Austin from Children First Canada discusses why online harms have become the country's biggest threat facing children, followed by a look at how Donald Trump's proposed alcohol and dairy restrictions could impact Canadian industries. We also preview the 149th Western Fair with Angela Hawkins and wrap up with Sportsnet's decision to charge an extra fee for Monday night NHL games.

London city hall is considering tougher rules for problem vacant buildings and dangerous dogs, and Ward 11 Councillor Skylar Franke joins us to explain why she wants a stronger response to vacant properties that repeatedly create safety concerns. We look at what drivers and transit riders need to know now that London's first centre-running bus lanes are open, and psychiatrist Dr. Marcia Sirota discusses the mental toll Ontario's school cellphone restrictions can have on teachers responsible for enforcing them.
