The Morning Show Podcast - Aug 11th - brought to you by 980 CFPL

On today’s edition of The Morning Show Podcast, we look at London’s plan to use most of its renewed federal homelessness funding for the winter response and the city’s decision to review how it handles extreme heat and dangerous air quality from wildfire smoke. Ark Aid Street Mission executive director Sarah Campbell joins us to discuss the need for stable funding to continue daytime homelessness services, and London Police Chief Thai Truong weighs in on the region’s falling homicide rate and the increase in the Crime Severity Index. We also look at France’s new ban on unsolicited telemarketing calls and whether it will be more successful than Canada’s approach, along with why a passenger says the child at the centre of a Porter Airlines flight cancellation should not be blamed. Finally, Murray Faulkner and Matt Newton-Reid join our weekly panel to debate whether Canada should make concessions in trade talks with the United States and whether Ontario needs a policy governing the construction of new AI data centres.
