The Morning Show Podcast - Feb 17th - brought to you by 980 CFPL

Today’s Morning Show Podcast begins with a conversation with Jack Scott, a professor at Western University, about the growing number of older adults experiencing homelessness and why seniors are becoming one of the fastest-growing homeless populations. The show then turns to comments from Conservative MP Jamil Jivani, who argues Canada is hurting itself by escalating anti-American rhetoric. Next, we break down the Ford government’s message that it plans to use the LCBO’s market power in future disputes after reaching a deal with Diageo to keep Crown Royal on store shelves. The weekly panel with Roger Caranci and Carol Dyck debates whether municipalities should have more autonomy over police budgets under strong mayor powers and whether London should return to one-for-one parking requirements for higher-density developments. The episode wraps up with a look at the curling controversy at the Olympic Games, examining what happened and whether Canada crossed the line.
