We got more rats!

Lots of talk about the rat situation in the east end of London at city hall this week, which makes sense. It's a pretty gross problem.

So how did we get here? And what should we do about it? Dr. Brendon Samuels, a member of the environmental stewardship and action committee at the City of London, joined Craig on the podcast to discuss, and even provide some tips.

Would quicker emptying of garbage containers in parks help?

Then, Craig and Dr. Samuels talk about trees and London being named the 2026 Forest Capital of Canada. Does the city need to do a better job explaining how tree removal works?
