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

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 ·

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

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,

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

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

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

End Credits #369 - December 11, 2024 (The Substance)

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/12/13

This week on End Credits, we're getting in shape! As we approach the end of the year, and the usual discussion about what movies are best, we're going to take a deep dive on one of the films that may end up making the cut! We're going to inject ourselves with The Substance, and we're going to look at lessons learned by the movie business itself this year. This Wednesday, December 11, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: The Trends of 2024! It's been another interesting year in

2024/12/11

There has been a lot of heritage news this year, and especially in the last couple of weeks. This should not be surprising because heritage staff in all municipalities have been in a mad scramble these last few years to designate as much heritage as possible before the end of this year due to Bill 23. That changed back in the spring, so it's probably a good time now to catch our breathe and look at the work done so far, and all the work that is to come. You may recall that November’s planning

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/12/09

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're reminded that the history of this show is haunted by an orange-coloured goon in a Florida beach club. Yes, we're heading back to Mar-a-Lago this week, and we're also heading back to Queen's Park to talk about accountability, our favourite topic! For the interview, we're talking to a friend of the show about how we can help people not go hungry this Christmas and beyond. This Thursday, December 5, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will

End Credits #368 - December 4, 2024 (Wicked)

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/12/06

This week on End Credits, we're not defying gravity, we're leaning into it! It's one of the biggest movies of the year, based on a stage musical and secretly the first of two parts. Oh yes, we're getting to Wicked, and speaking of things that people are looking forward to, we're going to each count off three of our most anticipated movies for the last four weeks of the year.This Wednesday, December 4, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Great Expectations (2024 Edition). Now

2024/12/04

As you may have heard, there are changes coming to your blue bin starting in January, and if you’re confused about what that means when you put the bin out on the curb in 2025, you’re not alone. You probably want to know what's going on, and how you should react, so due to popular demand, this podcast will ask all the questions about blue box changes you wanted to know, and some of the ones you didn’t. Guelph has a history of making history when it comes to the blue box: We were one of the first

2024/12/02

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we wish we could shake it off. It would be our wildest dream to come on the radio one week and have something normal to talk about, but we knew this was trouble when we saw it cross our newsfeeds this week. We're going to discuss what happened in Montreal last weekend, an arrest warrant for a controversial world leader, and final thoughts about the 2025 Guelph budget with one of our councillors. Hopefully, no bad blood there. This Thursday, November 28, at 5 pm,

End Credits #367 - November 27, 2024 (Gladiator II)

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/11/29

This week on End Credits, we go on a Roman Holiday! Not the movie, but a trip backwards in time to the original Rome, the imperial one with insane emperors doing dirt and the only honour you can find is killing for sport. It's time for Gladiator II, and to bring this episode full circle, we're going to talk about the movie that inspired the other big release this week.This Wednesday, November 27, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: The Wizard of Oz at 85! Last weekend's

Community Living Guelph Wellington has been around since 1955 providing support and services to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and their families in the communities in which they live, and for the last few years they’ve faced some serious financial issues. 2024 is no exception, but might the important services of Community Living get lost in the shuffle of all the crushing need out there. This is from an article in the Wellington Advertiser last week: “Community Living

2024/11/25

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're stuck in the middle with you. If you're feeling stuck, you're not alone and it's safe to say that the entire government apparatus at all levels seem stuck these days. This edition of a show will be a recital of being stuck, from gridlock in Ottawa to impasses at the annual international climate change summit. Our provincial government seems stuck on bail reform, while our greatest Christmas parade is just strapped... for cash. This Thursday, November 21, at 5

End Credits #366 - November 20, 2024 (Anora)

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/11/22

This week on End Credits, we learn to love. No, we're not reviewing Netflix's Hot Frosty, though that might be a hoot-and-a-half, we're doing something much more down to Earth by focusing on a candidate for "Best Film of the Year." Yes, we're reviewing Anora, and in that spirit, we're going to talk about movies featuring couples of the less-than-fairy tale variety. This Wednesday, November 20, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Bad Romance. There are a lot of Hollywood movies
