The Morning Show Podcast - Aug 13th - brought to you by 980 CFPL

On today's edition of The Morning Show Podcast, Devon Peacock speaks with Neighbourhood Legal Services executive director Kristie Pagniello about growing concerns over whether municipalities have enough tools when developers fail to follow through on commitments made during the planning process, with the discussion centred on a redevelopment project at 145 Base Line Road West. We then look at London's first major review of its school crossing guard program in 13 years as parents, principals and councillors push for improvements to student safety around schools. The show also examines newly released documents that suggest the Tumbler Ridge school shooter had an extensive fascination with firearms before the attack. London Police Acting Inspector Dave Payette joins the program to discuss new data showing auto thefts continue to decline both locally and across Canada. We also hear from Bonnie Smith of Saving Animals' Lives Together about the rescue's concerns after receiving a bill of nearly $200,000 from Ontario's animal welfare service. Finally, we look at new national data highlighting the dangers e-scooters and e-bikes can pose for children after 10 young people died in related incidents across Canada in 2025, including six in Ontario.
