Friday Round Table!

Craig was joined in the studio by organizational consultant Mojdeh Azad, community advocate Jeremy McCall and former Green Party candidate Dr. Carol Dyck to break down the week’s top stories.

First, they tackle council’s controversial vote in favour of getting staff to look at the possibility of hiring special constables to fill enforcement gaps for London Police.

What do we expect out of the staff report? Will this become an election issue?

Also, the Ford government is playing defense on a few issues including hotel expenses and forest fire problems.  Emergency Preparedness Minister Jill Dunlop had a… rough interview with CBC… and the government is taking criticism for cutting budgets. 

Those conversations and more on this week’s Friday Round Table!
