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

End Credits #374 - January 15, 2025 (A Complete Unknown)

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

End Credits #373 - January 8, 2025 (Nosferatu)

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

This week on Open Sources Guelph there's cause for celebration! 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! It's a good thing we have all that to look forward to because this revisiting of 2024 had us bummed in a major way. Enjoy the fun gang, because it might be the last we'll have for a while! This Thursday, January 2, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Worst Politician

End Credits #372 - January 1, 2025 (Top 5 of 2024)

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/01/03

This week on End Credits, it's the first day of a new year! Let us celebrate in the time honoured tradition (of the last seven years) of marking the best movies of previous year! 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! This Wednesday, January 1, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson, Tim Phillips, Peter Salmon, and Candice Lepage will discuss: The Best of 2024! It

GUELPH POLITICAST #449 – 2024: Year in Review (feat....

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

Open Sources Guelph #499 - December 26, 2024

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/12/30

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we box! It is Boxing Day, isn't it? So we're going to be boxing up all kinds of things, but the one thing we will be unboxing is our annual political movies show! For the tenth annual edition, we will look at four important films that cover a lot of political ground, from a documentary about a famous writer to the nightlife of Berlin just as things started getting Nazi, and from the end of the world in 2027 to a David Vs. Goliath courtroom fight! This Thursday,

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/12/27

This week on End Credits, we wish you a Merry Christmas! To celebrate this annual occasion, we will do things Jigsaw-style by playing a little game. No one's going to die - hopefully - but there will be lots of bragging rights up for grabs as your four favourite cinephiles, and a special guest, hang their holiday favourites with care as we undertake another movie draft. This Wednesday, December 25, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson, Tim Phillips, Peter Salmon, Candice Lepage, and special guest Jen Barson

GUELPH POLITICAST #448 – Christmas With Kevin (feat....

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/12/25

It makes sense spending Christmas with a Kevin. The Kevin we're talking to this Christmas though sits at the intersection of fighting poverty practically and fighting a growing spiritual malaise. In fact, he was the first and most obvious choice for this year’s holiday chat by the fireside, and he joins us this week to not only talk about the crisis around homelessness, but also the accompanying crisis of compassion.Yes, the special Christmas guest this year is executive director and pastor of

Open Sources Guelph #498 - December 19, 2024

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/12/23

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we were all but ready to take off for the holidays but they had to squeeze just a little bit more breaking new out of us. From Ottawa, there may be a change in government, or a change in prime minister, or a change in something, we don't know! We also don't know what happened with the Canada Post strike that was suddenly over this week, but we're going to find out about that too!! This Thursday, December 19, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will

End Credits #370 - December 18, 2024 (Kraven The Hunter)

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/12/20

This week on End Credits, we're hunting for content. In this last regular edition of the show for 2024, we're going to put on our favourite animal skins and run wild on what might be the biggest bomb of the year, and that's really saying something. We're reviewing Kraven The Hunter, and we're also going to look ahead to greener cinematic pastures in 2025! This Wednesday, December 18, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: The Best of 2025? So 2024 isn't even over yet, and we're

GUELPH POLITICAST #447 – The Strong Mayor Year (feat....

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/12/18

What do you think this year will be remembered for in the annals of Guelph history? Will it be the debate over the Public Space Use Bylaw? Was it the announced closure of the consumption and treatment site downtown? Was it when the mayor re-opened the 2025 budget to try and shave off two-thirds of the proposed levy increase? In any event, all roads lead back to one place, or rather, one person.In a sense, the first day of the political year was February 8. That was the date of the State of the City

Open Sources Guelph #497 - December 12, 2024

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/12/16

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're not done with 2024 yet, and it seems like the year is not done with us! Out of the Middle East this week some good news for a change, or at least some less bad news depending on what's next. We will also talk about the reaction to a very specific crime on the streets of Manhattan, and closer to home, we'll have a city councillor do a little year-end recap with us! This Thursday, December 12, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Bashir
