Open Sources Digest - August 15, 2024

2024/08/19

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re taking a break, and it’s the same for next week (or last week depending on when you’re reading this). Yes, the time has come for our usual summer vacation, but we’re not leaving you hanging! As we recharge our senses and collect your thoughts, you will be treated to a long-running tradition in the production of rich media: The rerun. As we cash-in some of our vacation days, you will be entertained by the ghosts of Open Sources’ past. Taking a Break from Some

2024/08/16

This week on End Credits, we’re gone. Gone fishin’? Maybe, we don’t watch the co-hosts every minute, especially when they’re not on the air. Yes, it’s that time again, time for the mid-August break. So while we’re breaking, we’ve got some cool – what the kids used to call – “repeats” for you. Get your road maps and your road snacks, because this week we’re vacationing! Let’s Get Goofy! Summer is a time for watching movies, no doubt, but it’s also a time for hopping in the car with the family and

GUELPH POLITICAST #Repeat – How the Greenbelt Was Won...

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/08/14

It was about this time last year that the so-called Greenbelt scandal blew-up. Although the issue had been simmering since fall 2022, the persistent efforts of journalists and activists to get to the bottom of the decision to separate and sell-off portions of protected land resulted in the land being restored, the minister responsible replaced, and the RCMP looking into whether or not anything criminal happened.It started with the Ontario government’s plan to remove parcels of the Greenbelt and

End Credits #353 - August 7, 2024 (The Beast/La Bête)

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/08/09

This week on End Credits we're getting weird. Now obviously, this show is always a little weird, but this week we're making it official by talking about movies that stray away from the normal path, and that includes the movie we're reviewing this week. First, we will look at "What the funk?!" movies, and then we will say "WTF?" about a French movie that's a Beast. This Wednesday, August 7, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: What the Funk Movies. The best part of watching a

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/08/07

It took a while to get here, but the Grand River Conservation Authority membership last month approved a management plan for the Niska lands, aka: the old Kortright Waterfowl Park, but this is not the end of the journey. For nearly 20 years there’s been a fierce back and forth about what comes next for the property and who’s responsible for its protection, but even with a plan in place now it doesn't mean that the controversy is over.When we last tackled this topic on the podcast it was October

Open Sources Guelph #480 - August 1, 2024

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/08/05

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're doubling the cast. As a summer treat, we have not just one, but two different guests including a federal cabinet minister, and she will be followed by a member of our local city council who will talk to us about the year at city hall so far. And yes, we will also have news, which this week will centre around what is perhaps the most hated corporation in all of Canada!This Thursday, August 1, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Judge

End Credits #352 - July 31, 2024 (Deadpool & Wolverine)

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/08/02

This week on End Credits, we're appreciating that all it takes to make $200 million in one weekend is a foul mouth and lots of gore. Or maybe it's gratuitous cameos from comic book movies you've all but forgot about. If you haven't guessed already, we're reviewing Deadpool & Wolverine, and sticking with the X-Men, we're ranking that whole series.This Wednesday, July 31, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepagee will discuss: Lists of Future Past. The X-Men movie franchise played a big role

GUELPH POLITICAST #429 – The Secrets of Stonehenge......

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/07/31

A couple of weeks ago at city council, a group of leaders representing four frontline agencies appeared to support the idea of a tiny home project in Guelph. The head of the Guelph Community Health Centre appeared on this podcast a few months ago, and so did the head of the Canadian Mental Health Association, plus the CEO of Guelph General Hospital was our special Christmas guest this past December. So if you've been counting, that leaves one more...The Stonehenge Therapeutic Community has been

Open Sources Guelph #479 - July 25, 2024

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/07/29

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we need a drink. Good thing the liquor stores are open again, and to talk about why that is and what the workers in those stores are thinking, we're joined by one of their union leaders on this episode. Why are we drinking? Drama! So much drama in the U.S. Presidential election this week as the odds changed again, and meanwhile, closer to home, we've got some big decisions to make in terms of our own defence. This Thursday, July 25, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam

End Credits #351 - July 24, 2024 (Twisters)

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/07/26

This week on End Credits, we're thinking about stormy weather! About a week after a major storm washed out so many parts of Ontario, including the Pergola Galaxy Cinemas here in Guelph, we're going to take things up a notch with Twisters. And on the subject of weather and the movies, we will talk about some other movies about the weather. This Wednesday, July 24, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Weather Flap. The movie of the week leads to a rather obvious pre-review

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/07/24

What could have been a small one-day story about disagreements around the table at Stratford city council has become emblematic of a bigger issue. Aside from the fine line between criticism of our civic leaders and outright threatening behaviour, there’s also a question about whether their mayor and council are being as open and transparent as it should be, and one man - famously - has his doubts. Members from Get Concerned Stratford have appeared on this podcast before. The group itself was born

Open Sources Guelph #478 - July 18, 2024

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/07/22

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it was a rough one. Looking south of the border these days is a white knuckle ride through all your fears about the future, and it's so bad that we have to dedicate the whole first half of our show to talk about American politics. We will then look closer to home and talk to a member of our local city council about a concern that all of us have these days. You know what we're talking about.This Thursday, July 18, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will

End Credits #350 - July 17, 2024 (The 1999 Movie Draft)

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/07/19

This week on End Credits, we're going back to the turn of the millennium, or do we mean the Willennium? For those of you who remember the turn of the century have we got a treat for you! Remember 1999? A lot of great movies came out that year, and some people think that it might be the one of the best for the breadth and variety of projects, so this week. we'll draft them! This Wednesday, July 17, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson, Tim Phillips, Candice Lepage and Peter Salmon will discuss: The 1999 Movie

GUELPH POLITICAST #427 – The Squeeze

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/07/17

The housing and affordability issues are massive, and to think that one action at one level of government is going to have a measurable impact is not understand that. This week at city hall, Guelph council will talk about proceeding with a tiny homes encampment, but that's one finger in one hole of a dam that needs a lot of repairs. Reaching back into the files of Open Sources Guelph, we highlight three interviews that lay out the structural and systemic issues that led to the housing and

Open Sources Guelph #477 - July 11, 2024

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/07/15

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're right brained. An ideological shift? Hardly, but there's been a lot of action on the right side of the political spectrum in the last week, meaning that we're going to talk about election outcomes across the Pond, and a bizarre road show that's now rolling across Canada and rallying people to hate. For the interview this week, were going to talk about architecture with someone who knows. This Thursday, July 11, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will

End Credits #349 - July 10, 2024 (Fancy Dance)

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/07/12

This week on End Credits, we dance! Fancy Dance. You may not have heard of this movie, but it's there waiting for you on AppleTV+ and it might just be one of the best movies you will see this year. And, along similar topics, we will dedicate the first part of the show to some of the best movies that we've seen so far in this very fleeting year of 2024 now more than halfway over. This Wednesday, July 10, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: The Best of the Year (So Far...)

GUELPH POLITICAST #426 – The Year at Committees So...

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/07/10

There's a lot of work when it comes to the grind of municipal governance and policy development, but it doesn't always start with city council (though it does often end with them). So on this episode of the podcast we're going to try and cram six months of work by eight different committees into 30 minutes of audio, from the retirement of the library's head to the debate over a bus chime to the ongoing issues around housing.This week we will cover the highlights of the Accessibility Advisory

Open Sources (Ep. #476) Show Notes for July 4, 2024

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/07/08

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're dealing with disappointment. Was it wrong to hope that an 81-year-old man would find the energy at 9 pm on a weeknight to argue with a sociopath for two hours? Maybe, but then again it's hard for leaders half that age to avoid calls to leave out the side door, at least that is what's going on our own capital. In terms of good news, we're going to talk to a community group that is literally making it a cool summer for low income people in Hamilton. This

End Credits #348 - July 3, 2024 (The Greatest Hits)

Guelph Politicast ·

2024/07/05

This week on End Credits, we see the music! Let's be clear, this is not a music show, but we're still dedicating this episode to the very busy intersection between the movies and music. For the review, we've got a movie called The Greatest Hits, which is about time travel, and speaking of greatest hits were going to revisit an old-fashioned bit of cross promotion called "the soundtrack".This Wednesday, July 3, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Soundtrack and Vision. Since
