2026/01/21

It's been quite a year so far, and it's only been about three weeks long. Unfortunately, there's no guest on this week's show, nobody seems to want to talk about the biggest issue in town, but that doesn't mean we can't chat about it on our own. For this peculiar episode of the podcast, we will talk about the questions left over from the daytime shelter story, how we've been trying to cover it, and what's going on at Politico HQ as we look to an even busier year ahead! So let's not beat around the

2026/01/19

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it's non-stop controversy only two weeks into the new year. From the United States, just when you thought there was nothing new to get angry about, more state-sponsored violence, and then the international situation is getting even more dicey with new drama in Iran. More locally, we've got drama right here in our own backyard concerning daytime shelter services that may or may not be coming. This Thursday, January 15, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson

This week on End Credits, we're heading back to space, where no one can hear you sigh. Yup, we're going back to Pandora and all it's imaginative creatures and landscapes in James Cameron's newest, Avatar: Fire and Ash, and while we're on the subject of Cameron, we will take time out to rank all 10 of the director's movies so far, up to, but not including, the latest one! This Wednesday, January 14, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Ranking James Cameron. Since emerging as a

GUELPH POLITICAST #505 – The State of the City 2025

Guelph Politicast ·

2026/01/14

The State of the City is a key event on the annual political calendar as it gives some insight into the mind of the mayor; what do they value, what do they consider accomplishments, and what do they see as the biggest challenges? It’s also a look inside the mind of the mayor and how they see the big picture outside the day-to-day issues and crises that come up. So let’s look inside the mayor’s head from one year ago.In his speech, Mayor Cam Guthrie called Guelph a “city of resilience”; our

2026/01/12

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we enter the new year like we left the old year: chaotically. For this first episode of the year, we will catch you up with all the news you might have missed either intentionally or on purpose during the holidays, and split into three distinct areas. We will tackle the latest drama south of the border, the travel plans of Canada's prime minister, and whatever the heck in going on with the leader of Ontario. This Thursday, January 8, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam

This week on End Credits, we're back with the first new episode of 2026 and what might be the best movie of 2025...? We will dig into Marty Supreme, which you can now see in a theatre near you, and we will let you know if it matches the hype, and we're also going to go into the vault and talk about another acclaimed film that has perhaps even gotten better with time. This Wednesday, January 7, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Heat at 30. Somewhere in Hollywood, Michael Mann

2026/01/07

Guelph City Council is taking an extended holiday (but not as extended at the Ontario government), so as we wait for their inevitable return, it seems fitting to pause here at the start of the year and to look back at all the action last fall in the council chambers. Before we unlock the future we must first find the keys to the past so join us in this search for the keys...It was a busy fall at city council on the planning side. There was a major proposal to redevelop a plaza at the corner of

2026/01/05

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we kick off 2026 by kicking out 2025. As usual on New Year's Week, we will hand out the annual awards in the four categories we mark at this time every year. We cover the good, the bad and ugly as we look at the people who made us hopeful, the people who made us weep, and the issues that keep us warm because the fire from the rage burns so bright! This Thursday, January 1, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Worst Politician of 2024. Always an

This week on End Credits it's the end... of the year! As usual when we get to the end of the year, we will talk about our favourites from the last 12 months, the movies that we will always remember when we think about the ones that mattered in 2025. The gang's all here for the only New Year's Eve party that matters, at least if you're a local movie fan! This Wednesday, December 31, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson, Tim Phillips, Peter Salmon, and Candice Lepage will discuss: The Top 5 of 2025. We

Thirty years. That’s how long it’s taken to get the new main library this far, and it still won’t open for several more months. The ambitions of multiple library boards, library CEOs, city councils, and patrons will finally be realized this year after three decades of debate, negotiation and preparation, but at the end of this long road, can the new main library deliver on the hype and will it be the good news story downtown Guelph needs exactly when it needs it the most?

It’s the start of a new year, but more than that it’s the start of a big year for Guelph, and not just because there’s a municipal election in October. To end 2025, and to start 2026, this podcast will be airing back-to-back episodes that will mark the pending completion of two major construction projects by this time next year: Today we’re talking all about the South End Community Centre!Drive down Clair Road West and you can see it peaking over the hills on the left hand side: The South End

This week on Open Sources Guelph we ask, "What day is this?" And we answer, "Why it's Christmas Day, sir." And since it's Christmas Day, or there abouts, the time has come for our annual entry the political movies special.

This week on End Credits, Christmas is almost here. To celebrate, and to take a holiday break, we depart from our usual format to come at Christmas movies from three different angles with the assistance of some special guests. We will cover all your holiday favourites from the classics, to the new classics, and the ones that are so bad they're good. This Wednesday, December 24, at 3 pm, Adam A.

2025/12/24

Christmas is a time to get together with old friends and for this podcast, there’s been no older friend in Guelph than the gang at Ed Video! Ed Video is one of the longest running arts centres in Canada, and has attracted a wide variety of artists over the years, but in the year 2025, we know that the arts are having trouble bouncing back from COVID. So why has this maybe been a good year for Ed Video despite it all?Now, the year started off pretty tough for Ed Video. They moved out of their old

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're getting our passports ready for a hour-long trip around the world. First, we will go to Australia where holiday celebrations turned to terror, while in this hemisphere it's looking more and more like a war is coming for one oil rich South American country and you-know-who's to blame. For the interview, we will talk to one of our federal representatives who definitely has some worldly thoughts of his own. This Thursday, December 18, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and

This week on End Credits, we get high. On Christmas. Kind of. We will have our full Christmas show as usual next week, but for this week we're going to put our focus on one new holiday-themed movie, which you can stream on Amazon Prime. We will review Oh. What.

It’s been over 10 years since Karen Farbridge left office, technically defeated in the 2014 election by then one-term City Councillor Cam Guthrie. It ended up being an end to her days in elected office, but Farbridge isn’t gone, and she certainly isn’t forgotten, and in the last few weeks she’s been the one doing the remembering with a new series of Substack newsletters about lessons she learned from her career in politics. But what more can she tell us?Karen Farbridge's tenure as Guelph's mayor

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're going to jail! "Finally," some would say. Well too bad because we're not actually going to jail, but we are going to talk about jail and who is going there in the first part of the show. Also, in this all news episode, we will look at the aftermath of lower international student enrollment and then head to a land down under and a great social (media) experiment underway there now.

2025/12/14

For years now, we’ve seen the pressures of housing and affordability explode into a crisis, and the answers to that crisis never seem to make themselves known. Maybe things are changing. In November, the City of Guelph and Wyndham House announced that by this time next year, they will have effectively ended youth homelessness in Guelph. What makes them so confident?The media release said, “Guelph is on track to become the first mid-sized city in Canada to end chronic youth homelessness.” The
