We start with a look at new research ranking London as one of the worst cities in Canada for pollen allergies, with expert insight into why the region continues to struggle. From there, we cover a new Ontario requirement that will see high school students pass a financial literacy test to graduate. We then turn to national politics, where Prime Minister Mark Carney is pushing back against U.S. trade complaints, arguing Canada is not at fault. Locally, we hear about a new Humane Society program aimed at reducing pet surrenders, as hundreds of animals have already been given up this year. We also check in on the impact of this year’s Radiothon, which raised more than $275,000 for children’s health care, and wrap up with a look at why experts say using emojis at work may not always be the best idea.
