The Morning Show with Devon Peacock

London city hall leads the show as politicians reject a plan that could have added up to $10,000 to the cost of buying an older home while taxpayers face a higher-than-expected $11.5 million bill to upgrade heating systems in major municipal buildings. We then hear from London Chamber of Commerce CEO Graham Henderson on a new report mapping out the city’s economic future, followed by a discussion on whether London needs more neighbourhood pubs to strengthen community life. The show also dives into a strange but very real political debate in Brantford over pigeon droppings, before wrapping with the weekly panel as Murray Faulkner and Roger Caranci weigh in on early success at the micro-modular shelter, concerns about attracting more homelessness, and whether the mayor’s evolving homeownership incentive plan is still worth pursuing.

A deadly runway collision at New York’s LaGuardia Airport leads the show, after two Canadian-based pilots were killed when an Air Canada jet struck a fire truck during landing. Closer to home, concerns are growing that buying an older home in London could soon come with added costs tied to infrastructure requirements. Mayor Josh Morgan joins the show to discuss the early results from the city’s micro-modular shelter site and why he believes proposed changes to his homeownership plan fall short. At Queen’s Park, MPPs return for the first time in 2026 with a busy spring session ahead, while a new report raises serious concerns about police violating Charter rights and the impact on hundreds of court cases across Ontario. We wrap with sports, as the London Knights gear up for the OHL playoffs with home ice advantage, beginning Friday.
