Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first federal budget focuses on “building Canada strong,” with billions in infrastructure and productivity spending, but little relief for Canadians struggling with affordability. We speak with London Centre MP Peter Fragiskatos about the government’s priorities and fiscal discipline, and later with Councillor Peter Cuddy about London’s latest housing project and council’s decision to approve a 35% pay hike. Plus, the Blue Jays’ World Series run is inspiring a surge in youth baseball sign-ups in London, and we close with a closer look at city council’s controversial pay raise and what it means for the next term.
Today on The Morning Show Podcast, we break down what to expect from Mark Carney’s first federal budget and whether it could trigger a federal election if his minority government fails to win support. Then, St. Thomas Mayor Joe Preston joins the show to discuss a $2-billion investment from Norway’s Vianode, bringing 300 new jobs and another major boost to the city’s growing EV industry. On our weekly panel, Murray Faulkner and Roger Caranci debate whether Ottawa should raise the GST to manage its deficit and if Canada should finally scrap the twice-a-year time change. And finally, we ask whether London should follow Toronto’s lead with 24/7 road construction after the Gardiner Expressway finished 18 months ahead of schedule.
Today’s edition of The Morning Show Podcast covers everything from heartbreak to high-stakes economics. We start with the Blue Jays’ World Series loss and whether the team still deserves a parade. Mayor Josh Morgan joins us to discuss the fatal school-bus crash, Ontario’s speed-camera ban, and London’s economic outlook. Economist David Macdonald breaks down Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first federal budget and the CCPA’s “Alternative Federal Budget.” Western’s Shafquat Rana explains a breakthrough home-energy system that cuts both costs and carbon. And we close with a look at U.S.–Canada trade tensions as Washington hints at new tariffs — and what St. Thomas’s $2-billion Vianode investment means for Ontario’s manufacturing future.
