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.
