The Morning Show Podcast - Mar 16th - brought to you by 980 CFPL

Ontario’s surprise decision to end funding for supervised consumption sites — including London’s Carepoint facility — kicks off today’s show. London Mayor Josh Morgan joins us to talk about that decision and the local economic impact of the tariff war after the city’s unemployment rate climbed to 8.8 percent. We also debate whether a city-run grocery store could help tackle rising food prices, hear from Fanshawe College senior vice-president Susan Cluett about another round of program suspensions tied to the school’s growing deficit, and discuss the controversy after Waterloo’s mayor said she was shocked a sniper was part of the police response to a St. Patrick’s Day party. Aviation expert John Gradek explains how surging oil prices could push airline ticket costs higher, and we wrap up with a look at the 98th Oscars and new survey results suggesting fewer people are heading to the movie theatre.
