Open Sources Guelph #535 - September 18, 2025

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/09/22

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we've got news overload. It was a tough call determining what to talk about on the show today, but first and foremost we have to separate the wheat from the chaff on the killing of an American pundit. After that, we're going to dig into more local drama by asking what the recent push against school boards is about and then we're going to talk to the MPP from a neighbouring riding. This Thursday, September 18, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will

End Credits #407 - September 17, 2025 (The Long Walk)

2025/09/19

This week on End Credits, things get creepy. Again. In the last four weeks, we've reviewed three horror movies and the latest is The Long Walk, the last adaptation from the *King* of horror. That's a dystopia, so we're going to talk about that, and as we're creeping up on October, and our latest Halloween movie draft, we will talk about other movie challenges! This Wednesday, September 17, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: The Halloween Challenge. Halloween Month is nearly

GUELPH POLITICAST #486 - The Year at Council So Far:...

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/09/17

School kids and teachers aren't the only ones that get a summer vacation. City council, and those that cover them, also get a summer break, at least when it comes to the monthly meeting schedule. We now have a couple of weeks of meetings under our belt since August ended, but for this week's podcast we're going back in time to business at council before summer vacation. We will start in May when council said goodbye to a colleague who got a new job, and then they got into the issue of placing a

Open Sources Guelph #534 - September 11, 2025

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/09/15

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we celebrate old times, and new times. From the past, there's someone we kind of forgot about but who wants to be remembered again, which could also apply to Parliament Hill where the leader of the opposition is back in the House and ready to deliver stinging rebukes to a PM under pressure. More locally, we will talk to one of Guelph city's councillors about some recent big decisions. This Thursday, September 11, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/09/12

This week on End Credits, we're here to make you think about death and stuff. We will perform last rights over the final chapter of a favourite horror franchise with The Conjuring: Last Rites, and we will leap off that ending to talk about some of our favourite final entries in long-running movie franchises, even if those movies were not the last word. This Wednesday, September 10, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: The End? The Conjuring is the second most successful film

GUELPH POLITICAST #485 – Hauser History (feat....

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/09/10

Out of 27 perspective candidates for Ward 6 city councillor it came down between Katherine Hauser and Rebecca Adam, and after a show of hands vote ended in a tie, Hauser got the gig in a literal luck of the draw. It was her name that came out of that big orange box, and it’s now up to Hauser to make as big an impact she can before council rises one year from now for the next municipal election. What does she do now?Now normally we interrogate city councillors on Open Sources Guelph, but we thought

2025/09/08

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we catch up on our reading. In this all-news edition of the show, we will learn about the current condo crisis in Canada, and while we're learning about alliteration, we will talk about literature. In Alberta, they're taking more lessons from the MAGA movement by making a list of books they hate and checking it twice, and speaking of MAGA, their figurehead may or may not be dead depending on the day. This Thursday, September 4, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A

End Credits #405 - September 3, 2025 (Caught Stealing)

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/09/05

This week on End Credits, it's crime time! We will get caught in the movie theatre to see Caught Stealing, but be assured that we have paid for our tickets. It's the last official summer movie we'll review this year though because the next thing on our to do list is to check out the fall movies and on this episode we will preview some of our top picks! This Wednesday, September 3, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillip will discuss: Fall Movie Preview. Although it's technically still summer, in

GUELPH POLITICAST #484 – The Devils Building a God...

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/09/03

We’ve been told that Artificial Intelligence is coming for all our jobs, that it will create fake news so real looking there will be no room for doubt, and in the worst case scenarios it will supplant human beings as the dominant lifeform on planet Earth. It’s scary stuff, and yet our fate depends on the same tech bros that have turned social media and the internet into a few concentrated monopolies. Is there still time to rein in A.I.?In the movies, artificial intelligence is almost always bad,

2025/09/01

This week on Open Sources Guelph, just in time for the last weekend of summer, we're taking a trip. We join our prime minister as he's taking the world by storm, or at least parts of Europe anyway, and then we're heading to Gaza again where nobody is taking a vacation because the war continues and its costing more lives. The stakes aren't as dire closer to home, but there's controversy up the road in Wasaga Beach that we need to discuss. This Thursday, August 28, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A

End Credits #404 - August 27, 2025 (Weapons)

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/08/29

This week on End Credits, we're back! Summer vacation is over for us, even though there's still technically one week left, so we will say goodbye to summer by talking about the last great movie from the Summer of 2025, the new horror mystery Weapons. Also on the topic of saying goodbye to summer, we will talk about our summer movie memories. This Wednesday, August 27, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: The Best Summer Movie Moments of 2025. It's been a long summer, at least

GUELPH POLITICAST #483 – The Labour Day Special...

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/08/27

We return to work at the Politicast just in time to mark Labour Day next Monday, the unofficial end of summer, and the official day to mark the sacrifices and accomplishments of workers and labour leaders. We talk a lot about how work is changing with the impact of technological change and the rising cost of living, but policy has to change too, and that’s where activism comes in.This year’s commemoration of Labour Day is especially well-timed just a few weeks after a major labour victory: Air

2025/08/25

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're back! After taking a midsummer break, we come back with some of your favourite characters from this past season including the buffoonish U.S. President, and our oafish Ontario Premier, and in the third topic, just in time for Labour Day, we'll have some genuine labour news to get excited about! We might have taken some time off for the last couple of weeks, but the new sure didn't!!This Thursday, August 21, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will

End Credits #REPEAT - August 20, 2025

2025/08/22

This week on End Credits, there is no End Credits. Well... there's going to be a show, but it's going to be an episode of End Credits that you've heard before, or probably heard before. Yes, if you've seen the calendar lately then you know it's time for our midsummer break. As usual, we're taking a couple of weeks off for August so that we can enjoy some summer sun! See You at the Beach! It's been a busy year at the movies; we sinned with Sinners, flew with Superman, and we caught up with at least

GUELPH POLITICAST #Repeat – New-ish Year, New-ish CAO...

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/08/20

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 nears the end of her first year in charge. In January, we got a chance to sit down with City of Guelph CAO Tara Baker. At

Open Sources Guelph #REPEAT - August 14, 2025

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/08/18

This week on Open Sources Guelph, you are here, but we are not. The time has come for our annual summer sabbatical. Unlike certain former prime ministers we still have work to do, so we can only afford to take a quick two-week break before coming back with what will surely be a drama-packed fall schedule of scandals, near-scandals and straight up crises. So let's take a break from the craziness before it catches up to us again. Be Normal. Welcome to summer vacation! We've made it through a lot in

GUELPH POLITICAST #Repeat – The Good Old Guelph...

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/08/13

Guelph loves its cultural heritage! As we count down to the 200th anniversary of the city in 2027, we're seeing more and more of a focus on our local history, but there's something else happening in 2027... the elimination of the heritage registry. Any property listed, but not designated, on January 1, 2027 will be deleted. The stakes, and the workload, have never been this high!That's the primary reason why it seemed fitting last fall to talk to members of heritage planning staff. Since the

Guelph Politicast ·

2025/08/08

This week on End Credits, we're hitting the links. Well, we're not hitting the links, at least not yet, but we will watch other people hit the links in the sporting sequel comedy Happy Gilmore 2, which you can now stream on Netflix. And since we're back in the realm of Adam "Sandman" Sandler, we will talk about the empire he built! This Wednesday, August 6, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: The Happy Madison Movie Draft. Adam Sandler is a movie-making machine. His production
