Council asks for help managing drug issues

London City Council has asked the province for help - after downtown councillor David Ferreria noted problems popping up due to safe supply pharmacies in the core.

Craig is joined in the studio by a panel of London Abused Women's Centre Executive Director Jennifer Dunn, political insider Ryan Gauss and lawyer Matthew Newton-Reid to break down that story and more.

They also tackle the Doug Ford 'gravy plane' controversy, the provincial government's aggressive changes to freedom of information rules and the supervision at the Thames Valley District School Board.

They wrap up by looking at a conversation in Ottawa about changing laws surrounding intimate partner violence.
