🚨 THE FULL MONTY: OPP E‑BIKE LAWS UPDATE 🚨
This one has been a LONG time coming.

I had Provincial Constable Jeff Beaumaster from the Elgin County OPP in the studio to update a video I first filmed back in 2014 with then‑Media Relations Officer Troy Carlson.
Twelve years later… the world of electric transportation has completely changed.

E‑bikes, e‑scooters, electric skateboards, mobility devices — they’re everywhere now, and the laws haven’t kept pace. This update was overdue, badly needed, and honestly… eye‑opening.

Const. Beaumaster breaks down:
• What’s legal to ride today
• What’s NOT legal
• Where you can and can’t operate these devices
• Helmet and passenger rules
• How municipalities are rolling out new bylaws
• And why a major enforcement push is coming

If you ride an e‑bike, scooter, board, wheelchair, mobility scooter — or you share the road with people who do — this episode is a must‑watch. Things are changing fast, and as the officer said, clearer rules and tighter regulations are on the way.

Watch the episode, stay informed, and keep your eyes open… because the next few years will decide what’s legal to ride in Ontario.

📣 The Full Monty – Andrew Lawton Returns!
Today I had the pleasure of welcoming back Andrew Lawton, Federal MP for Elgin–St. Thomas–London South, as my guest on The Full Monty. It was great seeing Andrew again, and I want to give a big thank‑you to his team — especially Tara — for helping coordinate this visit.

We covered a lot of ground in this conversation, including updates since his last appearance and several major pieces of legislation currently moving through Parliament:

Bill C‑225 – Domestic Violence Reform

Bill C‑9 – Hate Propaganda & Hate Crime Reform

Bill C‑14 – Bail & Sentencing Reform

Bill C‑12 – Immigration & Border Safety

We also discussed the very sensitive and important topic of MAiD legislation, focusing on mental health and medical assistance in dying — a conversation that truly matters to Canadians.

To wrap things up, we ended with a fun and enjoyable rapid‑fire segment that brought a great energy to the close of the show.

This was a thoughtful, informative, and genuinely engaging conversation. Time flew by.

Thanks for tuning in — and enjoy the episode!

Alright folks… back to the fun stuff.

Next Tuesday is going to be an absolute banger of a show. I’ve got a very special guest coming into the studio — Const. Jeffery Beaumaster from the Elgin County OPP. We’re finally doing the long‑requested update to a video I filmed over 12 years ago with Const. Troy Carlson about the E‑Bike Laws of Ontario.

That old video has now hit over 203,000 views, and I’ve had hundreds of messages asking for a modern update. So we’re doing it.

This new episode will cover everything people have been asking about:

The new e‑bikes

Scooters

Electric skateboards

Wheelchairs & mobility scooters

Where you can ride

Where you cannot

Helmet laws

Age restrictions

Passenger rules

Municipal bylaws

And yes… why police don’t seem to enforce these rules as much as people think

It’s going to be a massive episode — informative, fun, and long overdue.

And right after that one is taped… I’ve got another guest I’m genuinely excited to have back in the studio: MP Andrew Lawton. We’re going to talk about everything happening in Parliament since his last visit — what he’s been working on, what committees he’s involved with, breaking down some bills in plain English, and of course… a few fun questions at the end to see if we can get our MP to spill the beans.

Two huge episodes.
Back‑to‑back.
Coming very soon.

I want to clear something up about The Full Monty: Election Episodes.

I’ve received a few messages suggesting that I’m only having “friends” on the show or that I’m picking and choosing who gets to appear. That is not true.

The invitation to be on the show is open to every single candidate running in St. Thomas, Aylmer, and Central Elgin.
No one has been denied. No one has been blocked. No one has been excluded.

Yes, some of the people who have already appeared happen to be friends — but the conversations themselves are kept neutral, fair, and focused on the election, not personal relationships.

For some candidates, we simply haven’t been able to line up a time that works for both sides. That’s normal. It happens. It’s not favoritism — it’s scheduling.

So please stop saying I’m picking and choosing who comes on. If you truly believe that, feel free to watch other content. I can’t believe I even have to say this, but here we are.

The door is open to everyone running.
Always has been.
Always will be.

Thanks to everyone who actually understands what I’m trying to do with this series — giving voters a chance to hear directly from the people putting their names forward.

On today’s episode of The Full Monty: The Election Episodes, we wrap up a busy Sunday of three back‑to‑back interviews with our third guest, long‑time St. Thomas resident Steve Ogden.

Steve has officially entered the race for a seat on City Council, and he joined me to talk about why he decided to run, what he believes he can bring to the table, and the vision he has for the future of St. Thomas. We also spent time learning about his past and the experiences that shaped him along the way.

If you’re following the municipal election or want to hear directly from the people stepping up to serve our community, this conversation is definitely worth a watch.

Today’s second taping brought mayoral candidate Aidan Frederick into the studio for a great conversation about the future of St. Thomas. We talked about his vision for housing, transportation, downtown growth, and how the city can navigate the major changes ahead. We appreciate Aidan taking the time to sit down with us and share his thoughts on where St. Thomas is headed.

Busy day on The Full Monty — three tapings back‑to‑back!
We kicked it off with Councillor James Herbert, who’s running for re‑election in the upcoming municipal vote. Jim’s already served two terms and is aiming for a third, so we talked about his time on council and why he wants to continue serving St. Thomas.

Quick, honest conversation. Worth a watch.
