Guelph Politicast ·

2025/02/14

This week on End Credits, we celebrate this holiday of love with a movie about fights! If you're looking for something to watch with a sweetheart, and you don't want some soapy rom-com, you can always check out Love Hurts, and we'll talk about why (not?). 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

WELLINGTON-HALTON HILLS POLITICAST #455 - Yes She...

Guelph Politicast ·

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

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/02/07

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

Guelph Politicast ·

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. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Sundance Hall of Fame. It's the biggest

GUELPH POLITICAST #453 – The Changing Food Bank...

Guelph Politicast ·

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

Open Sources Guelph #503 - January 23, 2025

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/01/27

This week on Open Sources Guelph we're trying to avoid talking about You-Know-Who, but it's so very hard! Instead, we will talk around him by looking at at the Liberals who want to match wits with the new regime in Washington and their first major geopolitical challenge in the Middle East. In the interview, we're going to talk to one of the people that wants to be a part of the next government no matter who leads it! This Thursday, January 23, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will

End Credits #375 - January 22, 2025 (The Last Showgirl)

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/01/24

This week on End Credits there's a blast from the past and a sign of the times. Our movie today is a timeless story about someone who feels like the world has passed them by, and it features someone you might have forgotten. We will be checking out Pamela Anderson's return in The Last Showgirl and we will be saying goodbye to a real cinematic original! This Wednesday, January 22, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: David Lynch. Last week came the bad news that David Lynch

GUELPH POLITICAST #452 – New Year, New CAO (feat....

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/01/22

The CAO position is the highest ranking official in local government that doesn’t have the job title of either mayor or city councillor, and it’s the only staff position at city hall that’s hired by a committee made up of the mayor and councillors. So yes, it’s a pretty important job, and it’s not like there’s any shortage of issues or needs for the new woman in charge as she enters her first full year in charge. It was about this time last year that Scott Stewart announced that he would be

Open Sources Guelph #502 - January 16, 2025

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/01/20

This week on Open Sources Guelph we're going to party with our friends. While the party doesn't stop at Mar-a-Lago, it's a very different story here in Canada and everywhere else as people await the return of You-Know-Who with something resembling dread, and all while online folks are feigning surprise again that tech billionaires are putting themselves first. Back here at home, we've got south end business to discuss with a city councillor! This Thursday, January 16, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/01/17

This week on End Credits, we're getting excited about awards season! For the movie this week we've got a sure to be Oscar contender in the form of a musical bio-pic about one of the titans of popular music. Will it win? We don't know, obviously, but we're going to talk about the odds as the movie industry gets ready for its fanciest night of the year! This Wednesday, January 15, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: On Golden Idols. This weekend, the nominations for the 97th

GUELPH POLITICAST #451 – The State of the City 2024

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/01/15

The 2025 State of the City is coming up soon - Thursday February 6 to be precise - and as we always do at this time of year, we’re going to roll the audio from the previous year’s State of the City as a refresher course. The goal is to remember where we were at the time, where the mayor wanted to take us, and where we ended up now before Mayor Cam Guthrie starts looking to the future again!Do you really need to listen to this to be reminded of the most salient point of last year’s State of the City

Open Sources Guelph #501 - January 9, 2025

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/01/13

This week on Open Sources Guelph we violate our New Year's Resolution to have less drama! Canada's prime minister apparently had other ideas though by kicking off the week, and the year, with a big announcement that we have to cover. In other news, Pickering city council is making news in all the ways you never do, and for our interview this week, we'll return focus to Ottawa by talking to someone who works there. This Thursday, January 9, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/01/10

This week on End Credits, we're back! Technically, we didn't go anywhere because we kept cranking out new episodes over the Christmas break, but now we're really back, and we're ready to tackle the latest movies of 2025... with one of the leftovers from last year. Get ready to be afraid of the dark with Nosferatu, and we will also tackle other films with bite! This Wednesday, January 8, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Films that Suck! Vampires: you know them, you love

GUELPH POLITICAST #450 - The Year at Council...

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/01/08

Last year was very busy for Guelph City Council, and the last four months of the year were perhaps the busiest. In fact, the business of council has gotten so busy to properly cover it all this "Year in Review" podcast now has to be done in three parts, splitting the year into three near equal sections for over two hours of combined content. So now, at the end, the final part of this trilogy.The big thing from the back third of 2024 was the confirmation vote for the 2025 budget. Earlier in the

Open Sources Guelph #500 - January 2, 2024

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/01/06

Not only is this our annual year-end (or year-beginning in this case) awards show, but it's also our 500th episode and the start of year 11 for OSG!

Yes, it is time again to take a year-full of cinema and whittle it down to the five best films from the last 12 month. You know it, you love it, and now we talk about the Best of 2024!

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/01/01

If you’re listening to this on New Year’s Day then you might be welcoming 2025 with relief, or maybe even trepidation. If you thought last year was a rough ride it may be an hors d'oeuvres compared to what comes next, but before we get into all that, we’re going to formally say goodbye to 2024 by talking about the year that was, and the year we wanted it to be! There was a lot going on in Guelph in 2024, did you hear that we’re having a housing crisis? There was the use of Strong Mayor Powers, the
