Will Homelessness In Ontario Double?
January 16, 2026 2:39 pmOn this week’s Friday Round Table, Craig is joined in the studio by former Thames Centre Deputy Mayor Kelly Elliott, London Cares Executive Director Chris Moss, and organizational consultant Mojdeh Azad.
They breakdown new numbers that show homelessness is on the rise – 85,000 Ontarians were homeless last year, up 8% from 2024. Craig and the panel talk about potential solutions, how bad this can get and whether governments are actually serious about the issue.
Then, a look at the construction delay with the micro modular shelters in south London, and why the build started as late as it did.
They wrap up with Mark Carney’s trip to China – did he, as Doug Ford says damage Ontario’s auto sector with this new deal?
