Open Sources Guelph #343 - September 16, 2021
September 16, 2021 21:56 - 1 hour - 107 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we reach the epic conclusion of this brief, but fascinating Federal Election campaign. In this last show before Election Day, we are hosting the two candidates from the two parties that will likely form the next government. In the top half, from the red team, we will have Lloyd Longfield, and getting the last word, from the blue team, is Dr. Ashish Sachan. This Thursday, September 16, at 1 pm*, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Enter the Ll...
GUELPH POLITICAST #289 - Guelph Business and the Pandemic: The Movie
September 15, 2021 10:03 - 33 minutes - 54 MBAt an event hosted by the Guelph Chamber of Commerce next week, a new documentary film project will be screened called Celebrating Guelph. It's a love letter to the Royal City, it’s homegrown businesses, and their perseverance in the wake of the greatest financial and societal test since the Great Depression. This week, we go behind the scenes with the director. Hard and fast numbers about the effects of the pandemic on the local economy are still being developed, but we can see with our e...
Open Sources Guelph #342 - September 9, 2021
September 13, 2021 09:43 - 1 hour - 100 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we've got a great election interview double-header. In this corner, we have a returning champion, the NDP candidate Aisha Jahangir, who wants to be Guelph's first NDP Member of Parliament. And in this corner, we have the new kid, Green Party candidate Michelle Bowman, who will try and make this riding fully Green and not just half-Green. Election Day is almost here! This Thursday, September 9, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Nur...
End Credits #213 - September 8, 2021 (Candyman 2021)
September 10, 2021 10:09 - 56 minutes - 90.4 MBThis week on End Credits, we're trying to get some buzz going. Yes, that's a bee pun, which is fitting because bees are all over the movie we're reviewing this week, and while we hesitate to join a hive mind, we're pretty excited about it. This week, we're reviewing the new horror movie called Candyman, and we're getting into the second part of our fall movie preview. This Wednesday, September 8, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Fall Preview Part 2. Since we've ...
GUELPH POLITICAST #288 - Human Trafficking: The Real Story
September 08, 2021 10:03 - 56 minutes - 91.2 MBIt was just a few weeks ago that the Joint Waterloo-Guelph Human Trafficking team, which is staffed by members of both police services, arrested a Guelph man for both both trafficking the victim, and assaulting them himself. It’s a good reminder that human trafficking happens in our backyard, and it's not what pop culture and conspiracy theories make you think it is. According to Statistics Canada there was a 44 per cent increase in human trafficking incidents over one-year from 2018 to 20...
Open Sources Guelph #341 - September 2, 2021
September 06, 2021 10:09 - 59 minutes - 95 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we go election crazy by dedicating three-quarters of the show to the Federal Election, which you may or may not know is going on right now. In fact, the 2021 Federal Election is officially half-over now, so let's talk about the events to far, the latest news about Ontario's vaccine passport program, and then we'll welcome our special guest from the newly re-named Animal Protection Party! This Thursday, September 2, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donalds...
WELLINGTON-HALTON HILLS POLITICAST 2021 – Melanie Lang, Liberal Candidate
September 04, 2021 09:43 - 39 minutes - 63.9 MBWellington-Halton Hills, as a riding, was created in 2004 out of parts from four different ridings. In that first election, Conservative Michael Chong beat Liberal candidate Bruce Hood by a little over four points, but since then Chong has enjoyed double-digit victories including his 2011 general election victory with 63.7 per cent of the vote. So he’s invulnerable, right? Not so fast. The demographics in Wellington-Halton Hills have been changing in recent years. Exurban areas like George...
End Credits #212 - September 1, 2021 (Annette)
September 03, 2021 09:54 - 57 minutes - 91.4 MB...And we're back! This week on End Credits, we're rested and refreshed from our summer vacation, and ready to get back to talking about the latest in pop culture and reviewing the newest movies (see what we did there), which this week will be the new Amazon Prime offering Annette. Before that, we're going to talk about some of the other movies coming soon. This Wednesday, September 1, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Fall Preview Part 1. Fall is here! Sort of. Th...
GUELPH POLITICAST #287 - Why Not 50 More?
September 01, 2021 09:43 - 38 minutes - 61.6 MBJim Estill has been a successful entrepreneur, innovator and investor building a number of successful businesses around Guelph, but the thing that made Estill a national figure had nothing to do with business. Through Estill’s generosity, hundreds of Syrian refugees have made a new home in Canada, and now he wants to do it again for 50 families fleeing the resurgent Tabliban in Afghanistan. Flashback to 2015 for a moment. It was also the time of a Federal election, and Liberal leader Justin...
Open Sources Guelph #340 - August 26, 2021
August 30, 2021 09:50 - 59 minutes - 94.6 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're back! Did anything happen last week while we were gone? JK. We will play catch-up this week by talking about the fall of Afghanistan and what comes next, plus the current state of COVID in Ontario and what comes next there. As for that election, we will begin our regular series of candidate interviews this week with a familiar face for both the show, and for local activism. This Thursday, August 26, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will di...
WELLINGTON-HALTON HILLS POLITICAST 2021 - Ran Zhu, Green Party Candidate
August 28, 2021 09:53 - 36 minutes - 58 MBMichael Chong won Wellington Halton-Hills in the 2019 election with 47.4 per cent of the vote. The only way he could have been defeated was if the combined Liberal, NDP, and Green Party vote had gotten behind one candidate. The word "untouchable" would not be an overstatement, but there's a new kid in town that hopes to catch everyone, and Chong, by surprise. We kick-off this new (election season) of the Wellington Halton-Hills Politicast with Ran Zhu. If you’ve interacted with provincial ...
End Credits Repeat - August 25, 2021 (200th Episode)
August 27, 2021 09:23 - 57 minutes - 91.8 MBFor the next few weeks on End Credits, we're on a break. While we get the most out of the last few weeks of summer, we're going to dig some stuff out of the archive to keep you occupied. In ye olden days, these were called reruns, a way for people in the time before streaming to catch up on episodes they may have missed, or episodes they previously enjoyed. Here's hoping that you enjoy hearing again these old episodes of your favourite local movie show! This Wednesday, August 18 and 25, at ...
GUELPH POLITICAST #286 - The Year at Council So Far...
August 25, 2021 09:25 - 43 minutes - 70.4 MBBefore we unlock the future we must first find the keys to the past. As we await the return of city council in their first meeting of the fall after Labour Day, we're going to take a few moments to remember all the work that council did in the first seven months this year. There were some laughs, some friction, and more than a couple of marathon meetings. In this new edition of the podcast we go back in time! If you're a regular reader of Guelph Politico, then you are probably in the loop a...
Open Sources #REPEAT - August 19, 2021
August 23, 2021 09:45 - 55 minutes - 89.2 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we were so overcome by the vapors, and this past Sunday’s election, that we needed to take a week off and regroup. Well, actually, we had planned to take this week off, and we decided to anyway despite the last minute interference from Justin and his majority dreams. This week, it’s a re-run! Two news topics, and an interview with Guelph’s mayor, which we’re replaying from last month. This Thursday, August 19, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson wil...
End Credits Repeat - August 18, 2021 (Steven Spielberg)
August 20, 2021 09:22 - 58 minutes - 80.9 MBFor the next few weeks on End Credits, we're on a break. While we get the most out of the last few weeks of summer, we're going to dig some stuff out of the archive to keep you occupied. In ye olden days, these were called reruns, a way for people in the time before streaming to catch up on episodes they may have missed, or episodes they previously enjoyed. Here's hoping that you enjoy hearing again these old episodes of your favourite local movie show! This Wednesday, August 18, at 3 pm, A...
GUELPH POLITICAST REPEAT - The Family Health Team Story
August 18, 2021 09:37 - 44 minutes - 70.6 MBFor the second part of our two-week break here on the Guelph Politicast, we're going to reach back to this past spring. Since the start of the pandemic, the local medical officer of health has been regular guest on the podcast with six different appearances, but there has been someone else whose contributions to the local COVID fight needs to be acknowledged, and he appeared on the podcast in March. On the one-year anniversary for the start of the pandemic locally, it seemed right to mark t...
Open Sources Guelph #339 - August 12, 2021
August 16, 2021 09:29 - 56 minutes - 89.8 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're still waiting for the writs, but that doesn't mean there isn't any news. It's another four-topic week as we mark the passing of an Ontario political giant and more dire warnings about climate change in the first half, and then, in the second half, we're going to look internationally with the new authoritarian superstar, and more Olympic politics as we switch from summer to winter. This Thursday, August 12, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson ...
End Credits - August 11, 2021 (The Suicide Squad)
August 13, 2021 09:26 - 56 minutes - 89.8 MBThis week on End Credits, we're getting ready to go on vacation. Before leaving though, we've got one more movie to review, and in order to do it, we have to go back to the movie theatre for the first time in a year. This week, we're reviewing the new superhero flick The Suicide Squad, and we will wrap up our summer movie season revival by going back to 1995. This Wednesday, August 11, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Summer Lovin’ Part 12: 1995. In the last part ...
GUELPH POLITICAST REPEAT - Give (More) Blood.
August 11, 2021 10:05 - 32 minutes - 51.4 MBYour regularly scheduled Guelph Politicast is taking a few weeks off, so in lieu of two weeks of dead air, we'll be playing some Politicast repeats. You see kids, a repeat is when an episode that's previously aired is re-played, or re-run, instead of airing an entirely new episode. For this first week, we're going to back in time to the end of last year for an issue that matters to all us: blood. This episode originally aired during the holiday season, a time period where a lot of people h...
Open Sources Guelph #33 - August 5, 2021
August 09, 2021 09:01 - 56 minutes - 90.7 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, it's a Canadian affair. We're digging into matters of provincial interest with the a new plan for a favourite old school tourist attraction, and the potential courting of COVID disaster in the Wildrose province. In national matters, we'll consider the latest rumours around the possibility of a fall election, and that cold chill you're feeling might be connected to Trudeau's immediate predecessor. This Thursday, August 5, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. D...
End Credits #210 - July 28, 2021 (The Fear Street Trilogy)
August 06, 2021 09:56 - 58 minutes - 93.5 MBThis week on End Credits we feel the chills. This August day, we will shut ourselves indoors, turn off the lights, and binge an entire new horror trilogy on Netflix. This week, we are tackling each and every entry of the Fear Street trilogy! Will Fear Street offer the spine-tingling delights we want? Let's hope so, we're throwing a whole episode at it. This Wednesday, August 4, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: REVIEW: The Fear Street Trilogy (2021). Summer is a ...
GUELPH POLITICAST #285 - Take a Hike!
August 04, 2021 10:08 - 42 minutes - 68.6 MBThere's still a lot of summer left, so what are we supposed to do with some of our extra down time? How about enjoying some local paths and trails for a nice hike? It’s never not a good time to take a walk and enjoy the natural splendor of the Guelph area, but a warm day, a cool breeze, a clear trail, and a sensible pair of shoes is not a bad way to pass some time, and no one knows that better than the current head of the local hiking club. The trails of Guelph have been the subject of a lo...
Open Sources Guelph #337 - July 29, 2021
August 02, 2021 09:46 - 55 minutes - 89.2 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we wonder about going too far. In Toronto, if could be argued that they definitely went too far "helping" homeless people get out of the park, and some people will say that it could be going too far to demand vaccine mandates. Some people are also saying that our city's mayor has gone too far, and we'll ask him about that and other stuff as we joins us for this week's show. This Thursday, July 29, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: ...
End Credits #209 - July 28, 2021 (A Quiet Place Part II)
July 30, 2021 10:09 - 56 minutes - 90.6 MBThis week on End Credits, we're going to try and keep the noise down. Summer is here, COVID cases are down, and people are feeling like celebrating, but those pesky aliens with super-sensitive hearing are back in A Quiet Place Part II, and we're going to review on this episode. Before that, it's another trip to a summer of the past, this time around the mid-90s! This Wednesday, July 28, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Summer Lovin’ Part 11: 1994. As we enter the ...
GUELPH POLITICAST #284 - Expanding the Mental Health Landscape
July 28, 2021 09:46 - 53 minutes - 85.5 MBLast week, ground was broken for the future Centre for Children’s Mental Health and Developmental Services Building, which will come to be known as the Grove. When it opens in 2023, the Grove will offer 30 service providers across three floors helping 9,000 local children, youth and their families needing mental health and developmental services, support and treatment each year, and all courtesy of a unique and generous partnership. The idea of Integrated Youth Services Network has been cov...
Open Sources Guelph #336 - July 22, 2021
July 26, 2021 10:03 - 56 minutes - 91.3 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we've got leadership issues. We'll head to Manitoba where the effort to right the ship on Indigenous affairs blew up spectacularly on live TV (see above), and then we'll go to the Federal level where there's actually some good news for one beleaguered national leader. In the back half, we welcome, perhaps, our most prestigious guest yet, Ontario's Official Opposition leader! This Thursday, July 22, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: ...
End Credits #208 - July 21, 2021 (Gunpowder Milkshake)
July 23, 2021 14:25 - 56 minutes - 91.3 MBThis week on End Credits, we're going to get some more action. After checking out all the ladies kicking butt last week in Black Widow, we found some more women that know how to kick butt, and know how to do it well. This week, we're reviewing Gunpowder Milkshake, and we're going back to the summer movie well by revisiting the flicks from 1993! This Wednesday, July 21, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Summer Lovin’ Part 10: 1993. Climbing back onboard the wayback m...
GUELPH POLITICAST #283 - Still COVID [Summer Edition] with Dr. Mercer
July 21, 2021 09:40 - 46 minutes - 74.4 MBIt is time again for another in-depth look at the local pandemic picture: how are we doing, where are we going, and what can we expect next? We’re now almost 18 months into the pandemic, and while normal still sometimes seems far away, there is a perceptible feeling that the worst is over, and there are better days ahead. But are there really better days ahead? Back in May when we had the last "Still COVID" podcast, those brighter days still seemed so far away. We had yet to even enter pha...
Open Sources Guelph #335 - July 15, 2021
July 19, 2021 09:49 - 56 minutes - 90.8 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're going to science the sh!t out of this episode, at least in the first half of the show. We're going to discuss balancing space exploration with paying ones taxes, and we're going to talk about the latest issues around the vaccine rollout here and around the world. In the back half, we've got a visitor from city council to talk about what's going on locally at city hall. This Thursday, July 15, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: ...
End Credits #207 - July 14, 2021 (Black Widow)
July 16, 2021 16:06 - 56 minutes - 90.1 MBThis week on End Credits, we're not back in the movie theatre yet, but we're getting so very close, and we're going to talk a little about that. There's a lot of ground to cover in our first news segment in a while, and we're going to tackle one of the biggest movies released so far in this pre-post-pandemic era, the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe entry, Black Widow. This Wednesday, July 14, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: A Donner Party. When the man who mad...
GUELPH POLITICAST #282 – The Future with Guelph's Exec Team
July 14, 2021 09:44 - 1 hour - 109 MBAs we start reaching the potential end of the pandemic, it seems prudent to pause and ask the question, what does the future for Guelph look like? In a few months when almost everyone is vaccinated, do we go back to the way things were, or do we embrace a new normal? The logical place to start answering those questions is to ask the three people who manage City of Guelph services, and their boss. This coming Friday, Ontario begins stage three of the economic re-opening, and although it’s a ...
Open Sources Guelph #334 - July 8, 2021
July 12, 2021 09:37 - 56 minutes - 91.3 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we bring you some good news and some bad news. We start with bad news and more signs of the growing climate catastrophe, but there is some good news on the Indigenous file after weeks of basically terrible news. However, to end the show, we go back to the bad in U.S. politics where alternate realities continue to collide half-a-year after everything should have changed. This Thursday, July 8, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: It's ...
End Credits #206 - July 07, 2021 (The White Tiger)
July 09, 2021 09:51 - 55 minutes - 89.7 MBThis week on End Credits, we're going to do crimes. Well, *we* aren't the ones who are going to be doing those crimes, but we will be enjoying them in a voyeuristic sense with this week's review, which is the Netflix crime drama The White Tiger. Crime is a regular staple of summer movies, and speaking of which, we will once again hop in the wayback machine to a summer from the past. This Wednesday, July 7, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and will discuss: Summer Lovin’ Part 9: 1992. It was ne...
GUELPH POLITICAST #281 – #CancelCanadaDay
July 07, 2021 09:52 - 58 minutes - 93.2 MBIt was a very unusual Canada Day, wasn't it? In some ways, it was even more unusual than last year's Canada Day in the immediate aftermath of the pandemic's first wave, but there was a lot of room for some kind of outdoor festivities, but there wasn't much in terms of will. In the aftermath of our frightening new understanding of our own history, is there a better way to mark Canada Day in 2021 than protest? In May, it began with the discovery of 215 unmarked graves at the Kamloops Indian ...
Open Sources Guelph #333 - July 1, 2021
July 05, 2021 09:49 - 56 minutes - 90.7 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, the holiday is a work day. By a matter of cosmic coincidence, and some slight mathematical adjustments authorized by Pope Gregory XIII in the 16th century, this week's show is on Canada Day, and our focus is on the original Canadians. We're discussing residential schools, Canada Day, and we'll have an interview with three local Indigenous people about challenging all that. This Thursday, July 1, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Ma...
End Credits #205 - June 30, 2021 (Luca)
July 02, 2021 09:35 - 56 minutes - 90.3 MBThis week on End Credits, it might be time for a swim. It's been pretty hot lately, so who isn't thinking about a relaxing dip, perhaps along the romantic and picturesque Italian seaside? In lieu of travel through, we will just have to enjoy all that in animated form on your favourite streaming site. We're reviewing Luca, and we're going to keep the summer movie journey going. This Wednesday, June 30, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Summer Lovin’ Part 8: 1991. Bef...
GUELPH POLITICAST #280 - Deconstructing That Big School Board Decision
June 30, 2021 09:33 - 44 minutes - 71.6 MBFor much of the last year, the Upper Grand District School Board began an investigation into the effect of having police officers in school, especially the School Resource Officer program, after the Black Lives Matter march last June in Downtown Guelph. The task force recommended, among other things, that the SRO come to end, but that was not the easy decision you might have thought it was. Back in April, the Upper Grand District School Board unanimously adopted the eight recommendations fr...
Open Sources Guelph #332 - June 24, 2021
June 28, 2021 09:34 - 56 minutes - 90.3 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph it feels like summer. Yes, the House of Commons has wrapped up for the year, but have they wrapped up forever? (Yes, that was an Alice Cooper reference.) Speaking of being out forever, we will talk about the full withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, while closer to home, we will hear from some members of our Muslim community about their everyday concerns in Canada. This Thursday, June 23, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: The...
End Credits #204 - June 23, 2021 (In the Heights)
June 25, 2021 09:40 - 57 minutes - 92 MBThis week on End Credits, we will try and lift spirits. How? Through the transformative power of song and dance, of course! We're going to review the [theoretically] big screen adaptation of the Broadway musical In the Heights, and we will also talk about the movies from the summer of 1990, where there were hardly any musical numbers at all (save for a horrid Leonard Cohen cover.) This Wednesday, June 23, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Summer Lovin’ Part 7: 199...
GUELPH POLITICAST #279 - Now We're All Working for 2050
June 23, 2021 09:36 - 36 minutes - 57.8 MBWe’ve heard a lot about the City of Guelph’s intention to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. That is the corporate goal of the City of Guelph, and while it's a laudible, City Hall doesn't generate power. So isn’t there a key partner they need to bring on board to reach net zero by 2050? Like the company that provides all our electricity? Well, there was recently some good news on that account. Last month, the largest municipally-owned energy company in Canada, who just...
Open Sources Guelph #331 - June 17, 2021
June 21, 2021 09:32 - 56 minutes - 91.1 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, there's friction. In this province, the friction is around the use of constitutional tools for legislation ruled unconstitutional, but on Parliament Hill, the friction is between members, and former members, of the Green Party. Local friction? Got that too! We will talk to a member of city council about the latest business around the horseshoe involving two controversial topics. This Thursday, June 17, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discu...
End Credits #203 - June 16, 2021 (My Octopus Teacher)
June 18, 2021 09:38 - 56 minutes - 91.2 MBThis week on End Credits, it's summer, and that means we're off to the deep end, but the movie this week is no afternoon at the neighbourhood pool. We're going on a ocean dive in this episode with the award-winning doc My Octopus Teacher, and before that, it's another look back at the days when we could whittle away the summer in an air-conditioned movie theatre. This Wednesday, June 10, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Summer Lovin’ Part 6: 1989. By the time we g...
GUELPH POLITICAST #278 – A History of Violence
June 16, 2021 10:09 - 51 minutes - 82.4 MBThe discovery of 215 young Indigenous people buried on the property of the old Kamloops Indian Residential School re-opened a great many old wounds in this country, and just in time for National Indigenous History Month. Nation-wide, there may be between 11,000 and 15,000 missing children unaccounted for, which means this story is only going to get worse before it gets better. It's safe to say that no John A. Macdonald statue or effigy in the country will be safe, but the destruction and be...
Open Sources Guelph #330 - June 10, 2021
June 14, 2021 09:19 - 55 minutes - 89.2 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we tackle complexity. Even though everybody apparently agrees that we need more action on Indigenous issues, there hasn't been much, and then we will have a personal health moment to talk about all our vaccine options. Then, we fill focus on simpler things, like the friction between the government and teachers, with the head of one of the province's four teachers' unions. This Thursday, June 10, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Eg...
End Credits #202 - June 9, 2021 (Monster)
June 11, 2021 09:31 - 56 minutes - 90.5 MBThis week on End Credits, we come back to reality. The movie this week will feel very familiar to everyone paying attention to the news, or just familiar with long term issues of systemic racism in the criminal justice system. We will get into all the messaging with this week's review, Monster, and we will also talk about the hits and (many) misses in the Summer of 1987. This Wednesday, June 9, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Summer Lovin’ Part 5: 1987. The movie...
GUELPH POLITICAST #277 – The Transit Pass with TAAG
June 09, 2021 10:12 - 40 minutes - 65.2 MBWe used to have these quarterly check ups about transit issues, but the pandemic hit last March, and suddenly transit service was limited. Buses are still running on a reduced schedule, but now the City of Guelph is looking to the future, first with the Transportation Master Plan, and now with the review of a new 10-year plan for transit expansion. But how is all this sitting with transit fans? Last time we had a Transit Pass, it was about this time last year and buses were still operating ...
Open Sources Guelph #329 - June 3, 2021
June 07, 2021 10:02 - 56 minutes - 91 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're at the anger stage of grief. The anger is directed at our bloody, complex past and the discovery of more crimes against Canada's Indigenous peoples, but it's also directed at some politicians in the United States who want to forget the recent past. After working through our grief, we will talk to Ontario's Liberal leader, and the fight he's getting ready for one year from today! This Thursday, June 3, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will ...
End Credits #201 - June 2, 2021 (Army of the Dead)
