“We Need Real Life Plans, We Don’t Need Paper Weights.”

February 13, 2026 2:50 pm Published by

A brand new Friday Round Table, as Craig is joined at the Covent Garden Market studio by Ward 13 city councillor David Ferreria, political insider Scott Collyer and consultant Mojdeh Azad.

They look at job losses in the London region and the potential challenges for those looking or work on the horizon. Also, how can we create jobs in the downtown core?

Then, a conversation about winter shelter challenges the city has and whether it’s time to not only increase the amount of time when warming centres are open, but how many warming centres there actually are.

Also, the cost of tuition at postsecondary institution is on the rise – after seven years of being frozen. What will that mean for students at Western and Fanshawe?

The Craig Needles Podcast is powered by Downtown London and the Covent Garden Market.
