Guelph Politicast ·

2025/03/28

This week on End Credits, we get bad. Cue the Inner Circle music because we're heading back to the Halcyon days of the mid-90s to revisit a couple of bad boys. And then, in the here and now, we're going to talk about people behaving badly in the name of patriotic service with the new spy thriller Black Bag. God save the King and the movie-going audience!

2025/03/26

In six days, the doors of Guelph’s Consumption and Treatment site will close for the last time. Unless a Charter challenge in an Ontario court succeeds, the Ontario government’s mandate to close a dozen different CTSes and replacement them with new Homelessness and Addiction Recovery Treatment, or HART, Hubs. Or at least that was the plan. Either way, what happens on April 1?It was kind of a surprise last summer when the Ontario government announced that they were closing several consumption and

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we've got Canadian Tire money to burn. Like Justin Trudeau! Who spent the first day of the first week of the rest of his life pretending he's a normal guy. As for his successor, he was going stuff this week, while south of the border there's this guy that keeps talking smack about Canada, and now he's rounding up people who are using their voices to be critical of foreign powers. This Thursday, March 20, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will

This week on End Credits, we're going out to the farm. Everyone yearns at some point for a more simple life on the land, and it looks like one of them is Tom Green... so he made a film about it. On this episode we're reviewing This is The Tom Green Documentary, and we will also take the unusual step of critiquing the critics and the rare times they've got it wrong. This Wednesday, March 19, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Wrong Turns. The subject of this week's film is Tom

2025/03/19

Maybe you don’t remember, or want to remember, but it was this time five years ago that the world closed down as COVID-19 became so virulent that it required us to be sequestered for months or else keep six feet apart while wearing a mask or other PPE. Many of us have memory-holed those events, some have re-written it as an overreaction or, even worse than that, a conspiracy, but perhaps the time has come to face our trauma about the pandemic. Here are some of the headlines from the March 20, 2020

Open Sources Guelph #509 - March 13, 2025

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/03/17

This week on Open Sources Guelph we order a side-helping of change and economic concern. The new prime minister and the new-old premier met this week to talk about their common enemy: the crazy person currently occupying the White House. For the other half of the show, we will look to more local concerns with one of the members of city council from the first (in numerical order) ward! This Thursday, March 13, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Carney in Charge. It wasn't

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/03/14

This week on End Credits, we're still having February thoughts. Although it's March now, we're going to revisit Valentine's Day with the rom-com/horror mash-up Heart Eyes, and because we can't escape the ramifications of what's going on everyday in the White House, we will talk about how Canadian cinephiles can do their part in the trade wars. This Wednesday, March 12, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Trade War Movies. You may have heard that there's a trade war

2025/03/12

When we talk about the affordability crisis, you sometimes hear the term “legislated poverty”, meaning the state of social assistance rates like Ontario Works and ODSP that assure people can never get ahead because the amounts paid never cover all the real costs of daily life. That’s why Mike Morrice decided to act when he was elected to the House of Commons in 2021, but like all great quests, it hasn’t ended up the way he envisioned. Can one person make a difference? This is the question when you

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/03/10

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're coming down from election fever, and maybe get ready to catch it once again...(?) Yes, the time has come for a new Liberal leader to be selected, which is its own drama, but nothing compared to the drama in the White House, which is exactly how its main occupant likes it (and the rest of us hate). For the interview this week, we've got a two-for-one special! This Thursday, March 6, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Garbage Disp-Oval

End Credits #381 - March 5, 2025 (The Monkey)

2025/03/07

This week on End Credits, we can't stop doing the monkey! Not the dance, but the movie of the same name that has been winning fans at cinemas all around the country these last couple of weeks. So yes, we're talking about The Monkey, and we're also going to be talking about the life and movies of another Hollywood icon! This Wednesday, March 5, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: For Gene. While the circumstances of his passing still has many unanswered questions, there's no

2025/03/05

Although housing and homelessness has been THE issue for the last few years, it feels like they didn’t make a dent in the recently completed provincial election. As the news obsessively tracks the tariff war and Doug Ford’s response to Donald Trump’s latest drama, the struggles of growing unaffordability and homelessness seems to have taken a back seat., So now that the election is over, does anyone in authority still care about these issues? Back in December, Premier Ford held a media event at

It's four weeks of snow, promises, confusion, and apathy and after the longest shortest month of the calendar, we have finally come to this: Election Day! Now typically on Thursday there's a new episode of Open Sources Guelph, but because Election Day falls on Thursday, we're going to do it later, and we're going to do it live!

2025/02/28

This week on End Credits, we're heading back into the wild! Things always get pretty wild when it comes to Oscar-season as one team of PR flacks tries to 86 the other, but things also get wild on an uninhabited island where even robots can enjoy a world without rules! On this show, we're reviewing The Wild Robot and we will talk about the Oscars!This Wednesday, February 26, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Not An Oscars Ballot. The 97th annual Academy Awards will be given

2025/02/26

It’s been four weeks since Doug Ford asked the Lieutenant-Governor to dissolve the legislature and it really hasn’t felt like anything has changed. Now, we will go to the polls on Thursday to decide who will form the provincial government for the next four years and despite all the issues, it feels like it’s still going to be the people who’ve run it for the last seven years. So what have we missed this election?Early voting last weekend registered a six per cent voter turnout across Ontario. Not

2025/02/24

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we go mega! On this super-sized edition of the show, the last one before Election Day and the episode that opens three days of advanced polling, we will profile the three candidates we haven't covered yet. From the long-time campaigner running for the governing party, to an upstart trying to rebuild a Liberal stronghold, and a new face for a new party! This Thursday, February 20, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Be Coole. You may not know

2025/02/22

According to the latest polls, the governing PCs might be in minority government territory, and the spoiler might be a revitalized Liberal Party. In Wellington-Halton Hills it will be a big climb because while this seat is open, the Liberals finished fourth in a close race for second in 2022. Is there the possibility that without Ted Arnott on the ballot that voters might be willing to take a closer look at the man from Acton? When he was last elected in 2022, Arnott won more votes than the NDP,

This week on End Credits, we find an America we're glad to call "Captain". Hey, we know that the United States is having its issues right now (and if you don't there's a show for that), but one them isn't finding a new Captain America! This week, we will enter a Brave New World, and we also talk about the fine art of starting over. This Wednesday, February 19, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Mike Ashkewe will discuss: Remake, Reboot and Requel. Although it's not technically a reboot, it's pretty

2025/02/19

In 2022, the three major Ontario opposition parties finished very closely together in Wellington-Halton Hills with the Liberals finishing 804 votes short of the second place NDP, and 82 votes short of the third place Greens. It shouldn’t be much of a surprise then that the Green Party of Ontario sees Wellington-Halton Hills as prime target for an upset this election, but can the party be that upsetting with so much on the line? If you follow Mike Schreiner’s campaign schedule, you will note that

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're not feeling the love. One day before Valentine's Day, we will dive into some of the biggest news of the day including a crazy person's plans for one of the most volatile regions on the planet. Back here at home, there's some concern about post-secondary spending, which is a provincial jurisdiction and that reminds us: We have an other election candidate to talk to! This Thursday, February 13, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: "We'll

2025/02/15

There are seven people running in Wellington-Halton Hills, but only one of them is a party leader. If you’re looking at this election and are thinking to yourself that it’s pretty messed up that the premier can just call an election 16 months early and in the midst of several intermingling crisis, and that there should be a better way, then you might be the type of voter that Ron Patava and Consensus Party is looking for. Patava has previously been a guest on this podcast. He ran in
