The Morning Show with Devon Peacock

Today on The Morning Show Podcast, we begin with a discussion about Ontario’s decision to cut funding for House of Hope and why many believe the province needs to do more to address homelessness and supportive housing across Ontario. We then speak with Ward 1 candidate Roger Caranci about supportive housing and the debate surrounding plans to convert the former Bob Hayward YMCA into supportive housing units. Later, Murray Faulkner and John Fyfe-Millar join us for the weekly panel where we discuss the future of the London Transit Commission and the potential impact Alberta’s referendum debate could have on national unity in Canada. We wrap up the show with a look at the growing danger of AI voice scams following a frightening incident out of San Francisco.

On today’s edition of The Morning Show Podcast, Mayor Josh Morgan joins us to discuss the rising cost of replacing steam heating systems at city-owned buildings and concerns raised in a new report examining the relationship between city hall and the London Transit Commission. Ward 1 Councillor Hadleigh McAlister talks about London’s growing supportive housing needs and the future of the old Bob Hayward YMCA redevelopment project. Western University associate professor Carrie Anne Marshall explains what could happen as the deadline for provincial funding of supervised drug consumption sites, including Carepoint in London, approaches. We also look at a new poll suggesting more Canadians believe the country is heading in the right direction, the confirmation of a second tornado following last week’s major storm in the London region, and 980 CFPL’s bicentennial celebrations including the launch of a contest to determine London’s most outstanding person.
