Three levels of government failure on homelessness
from The Craig Needles Podcast · host Blackburn Media
In the wake of the announced House of Hope closure, fingers are being pointed. Should we blame the provincial government? London city council? Everyone? Craig was joined at the Covent Garden Market studio by former city councillor Cheryl Miller and advocate Dr. Jeff Preston to look at those questions. Then, a conversation about Canadian downtowns - including London's. Big City Mayors are asking for big investments from the federal government, aimed at improving cores all over the country. Will Mark Carny actually cut the cheque? What should the money be spent on? Plus - a new report blames London's rat problem on... Londoners. Is a $400 fine for not having a clean property enough to solve the rat issue? The Craig Needles Podcast is powered by London Hydro – with support from Downtown London and the Covent Garden Market.
