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

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!

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.

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

WELLINGTON-HALTON HILLS POLITICAST #458 – Runnin' Up...

Guelph Politicast ·

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,

2025/02/21

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

This week on End Credits, we celebrate this holiday of love with a movie about fights!

Our topic will accompany the star of that film who once appeared in another more famous movie! This Wednesday, February 12, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Goonies Never Stay 'Unemployed'! The movie we're reviewing this

2025/02/12

In some respects, Wellington-Halton Hills is the riding to watch this year because, for the first time in three decades. it’s competitive. Ted Arnott announced that he would not be seeking re-election at the end of the last term, and while the PC Party would like to hold on to this one, opportunity is knocking for the other major parties. Today, Ontario's official opposition will make their case for the riding next door! Of the four major party candidates in Wellington-Halton Hills, only one of them

Open Sources Guelph #505 - February 5, 2025

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/02/10

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're trying to project calm. It was a long weekend as we waited for a certain Florida Man who was inexplicably re-elected as President of the United States to blow up our economy, and we can't even avail ourselves of healthcare because that's in a terrible position in Ontario. So, what can we do to fix this? Our guest this week has some ideas and he wants you to elect him again to put them in action! This Thursday, February 6, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A

This week on End Credits, we head east, young man. As we continue our cinematic trip through this year's Oscar nominees, we stop in Poland for A Real Pain, which is now easy to stream on Disney+. Before that though, we will stop and consider the calendar. What month is this? Why it's Black History Month, and we will look at some examples of great Black film talent! This Wednesday, February 5, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Black History Month Movies. This is our first

GUELPH POLITICAST #454 - On Overthrowing "The King"...

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/02/05

ACORN is on the frontline of fighting the housing and affordability crises for low and moderate income people and in Ontario they’ve invested a lot of attention lately on one bad guy, Michael Klein. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because he's the so-called "King of Renovictions". Last week the two sides came face-to-face, sort of, at the Landlord Tenant Board, but don't think this is the end of the fight! On January 21st, Hamilton tenants living at 221 Melvin Avenue went to the LTB for the first

Open Sources Guelph #504 - January 30, 2025

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/02/03

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we have to shake off the winter blahs and get into election mode! Doug Ford has called a snap election in Ontario for incredibly specious reasons, and we will get into that, and we will also get into an election issue that we should be talking about with a special guest expert on the subject. In other news, the federal Liberals are still trying to find a new leader. This Thursday, January 30, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: The Winter

2025/01/31

This week on End Credits, we get wild! We will shine a light on a movie that seems to have missed most people's radar and it's all about embracing your inner animal, and other stuff. We're going to talk about Nightbitch, which you can stream now on Disney+ of all places, and we're also going to hit the metaphorical slopes out west and chat about a famous film festival.This Wednesday, January 22, at 3 pm, Adam A.

2025/01/29

It’s hard to think of any aid agency busier these days than the Guelph Food Bank these days, and to prove it, they went to city council last November during budget delegation night to ask for help. It might come as a surprise to learn that the Food Bank has never received any government funding, but it's proof that food insecurity is now outside their control, and it’s the reason for changes that they’ve started to undertake. According to Feed Ontario, over one million people accessed a food bank in
