Time For Council To Take On The Feds?

August 7, 2026 2:09 pm Published by

Friday Round Table!

Craig is joined by a panel of London Home Builders Association Executive Director Jared Zaifman, former Thames Centre Deputy Mayor Kelly Elliott and London Property Management Association Executive Director Nathan Caranci to breakdown the week’s top stories.

First, council is being asked to cover for the federal government’s share of funding for some homelessness service providers in the city – again. Should city politicians go for this? Is this the time to take a stand against an upper level of government?

Also, the pushback on data centres has reached Strathroy – where a proposed site is not going ahead. Craig and the panel examine that issue and then discuss the latest MP defection from the Conservative Party of Canada.
