The Morning Show Podcast - Jan 21st - brought to you by 980 CFPL

Today on The Morning Show Podcast, we begin with Mark Carney’s speech in Davos, where the prime minister received a standing ovation after declaring the long-standing rules-based international order is over — a moment some analysts say could define Canada’s foreign policy direction. We then turn to Canada–U.S. relations with Don Abelson from McMaster University, breaking down Donald Trump’s first year back in office and what Canadians should expect in 2026. Closer to home, we hear from Ben Johnson of ACTION as London city hall moves ahead with a traffic study in Old North following resident concerns. Retail analyst Bruce Winder joins us to discuss Walmart opening another Supercentre in London and why in-person shopping remains strong. We wrap up with a look at St. Thomas native Rachel McAdams receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and whether London should do more to recognize people who’ve made lasting contributions to arts, sports, politics, and community life.
