Nunavut MP Lori Idlout has crossed the floor from the NDP to join the Liberals, becoming the fourth opposition MP to do so since October. We speak with Tolpuddle Housing Co-op president Jo-Dee Phoenix about her call for financial help from city hall as the building deals with violence, vandalism and drug activity, and discuss how residents convinced London’s planning committee to reject a proposed six-storey apartment building on Cheapside Street. Tech analyst Carmi Levy joins the show to break down the cybersecurity incident at the Middlesex-London Health Unit and whether governments should play a bigger role protecting municipal infrastructure. Economist Jim Stanford explains why the tariff dispute with the U.S. may be hurting the American economy more than Canada’s and what can be done to manage volatile gas prices. We also look at a new report showing nearly two-thirds of discarded electronics in Canada still work and wrap up with the viral McDonald’s CEO burger video that’s turning into a marketing win for the company.
