On today’s edition of The Morning Show Podcast, London’s acting deputy police chief Chris Churney joins us to talk about back-to-school safety, Project LEARN, and the recent charges against a local teacher. Then our Tuesday panel with Murray Faulkner and Roger Caranci looks at the independent audit of London’s homeless hubs, Premier Ford’s Crown Royal boycott, and the viral “Phillies Karen” moment. We also dive into whether London should adopt a pedestrian scramble, hear from public health expert Timothy Sly about Florida becoming the first U.S. state to drop vaccine mandates, and end with a Hamilton story where a man has been ordered to take down 10 outdoor security cameras under a city by-law.

On today’s edition of The Morning Show Podcast, London Mayor Josh Morgan discusses the success and strain on city programs, including over-capacity homeless hubs and new housing incentives attracting strong developer interest. Carolyn Stewart from Feed Ontario joins us to mark Hunger Action Month, with food insecurity still affecting more than a million Ontarians. We hear from Fanshawe’s Adam Rayfield on the looming college strike deadline, with job security and wages dividing the union and employers. Then, we debate the rise of sports betting ads and whether they should be treated like tobacco promotions. We also talk about Mark Carney’s surprising participation in a 26-kilometre trail race, and how unusual it would be to see a U.S. president do the same. And finally, we wrap up with the Walk of Champions, which raised $146,000 this weekend, bringing its long-term support for multiple myeloma research to more than $1.3 million.
