The Morning Show with Devon Peacock

London city hall is stepping in with a potential solution after hundreds of businesses lost access to recycling, proposing expanded green bin use and free depot drop-offs. Premier Doug Ford is now planning to sell the province’s $28.9 million private jet, defending himself amid ongoing criticism and calling himself the most scrutinized politician in the country. Meanwhile, London-Middlesex Crime Stoppers is warning it may not be able to continue operating without new funding, with President Lloyd Stacey outlining growing financial challenges. In the weekly panel, Murray Faulkner and Roger Caranci discuss what the city should do with its $24.5 million surplus and weigh in on the controversy surrounding Ford’s so-called “gravy plane.”

We start with Mayor Josh Morgan breaking down London’s $24.5 million surplus, a proposed recycling pilot to help small businesses and what’s next for the LTC review. Then, Mark Carney outlines why Canada must adapt as the world becomes more dangerous and divided. We also cover Premier Doug Ford’s decision to reverse course and sell the province’s $28.9 million private jet. After that, Brock University professor Michael Armstrong joins us to discuss how cannabis is viewed in Canada more than seven years after legalization. We wrap up with Kathy McGuire, a former cancer patient now volunteering at the Verspeeten Family Cancer Centre, sharing her story during National Volunteer Week.
