Open Sources Guelph - July 11, 2019
July 15, 2019 10:46 - 55 minutes - 76.2 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're getting into the weeds. It's summer, after all, and our politicians aren't making a lot of news like they should, so let's get into the issues. For instance, since when did protesting pipelines make you a target for our own spies? Why is everyone so angry about a movie? Why isn't everyone more angry about the treatment of children in U.S. government custody? And what if most of us are wrong about our own thoughts on immigration here in Canada? This T...
End Credits - July 10, 2019 (Spider-Man: Far From Home)
July 12, 2019 10:56 - 55 minutes - 76.1 MBAnother week on End Credits means another superhero movie. At least that's the way it seems sometimes, but this week it happens to be true with a review of Spider-Man: Far From Home. In other unsurprising developments, there's casting controversy for a Disney remake, and Tarantino's talking about retirement again. We've got some new trailers too, and we're going to celebrate two-and-a-half decades of Gump! This Wednesday, July 10, at 2 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: ...
GUELPH POLITICAST #176 - Aid for Legal Aid
July 10, 2019 10:12 - 1 hour - 87.4 MBThere are a million stories in the Doug Ford era of provincial governance, and covering them all isn't easy. One of the stories that has perhaps fallen through the cracks is the cuts to Legal Aid Ontario. In April's provincial budget, funding to legal aid was cut by 30 per cent, and all $133 million of that took effect immediately. So now what? Thousands of people who count as Ontario's most vulnerable - including drug addicts, people with mental health issues, victims of domestic abuse, a...
Open Sources Guelph - July 4, 2019
July 08, 2019 10:29 - 51 minutes - 70.4 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, everyone loves a parade. This could be a reference to the Fourth of July sideshow that Trump is putting on today, but it could just as easily be a reference to his parade of embarrassments and scandals in the last week alone. Along with that, we'll talk about the protests in Hong Kong, the politics of cartooning, and a Supreme Court case that should have a positive effect on victims of rape seeking justice in Canada. This Thursday, July 4, at 5 pm, Scotty ...
End Credits - July 3, 2019 (Toy Story 4)
July 05, 2019 10:48 - 55 minutes - 76.7 MBThis week on End Credits, you've got a friend in us, and since we're such good friends, you can trust our opinions on this week's review, which is the new Pixar movie, Toy Story 4. We'll also talk about the never-ending quest for the so-called "Snyder Cut," the end of the quest to make a Mouse Guard movie, the future of fakes, and some cool (or not) new trailers. This Wednesday, July 3, at 2 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Vince Masson will discuss: Snyder Web. For nearly two years, Zack Snyder...
GUELPH POLITICAST #175 - In Conversation at Guelph Civic Museum
July 03, 2019 10:17 - 1 hour - 134 MBIt's been three-and-a-half years since the Guelph Mercury last published, but for many people in our community, the loss feels as fresh today as it did on January 30, 2016. What a community looks like without a daily paper, and how it gets its news without that baseline has been a frequent topic of discussion, and it was again last week at the Guelph Civic Museum. The Museum has two exhibits on now called “B&W and Read All Over" and “The Dailies: Front Pages & Frontispieces.” The former is ...
Open Sources Guelph - June 27, 2019
July 01, 2019 14:01 - 56 minutes - 77.5 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph is no jaunty burger flipping affair. Of course, we weren't the ones demoted from being finance minister after just one budget, but it's hard to believe that's a cause for celebration. We're going to cover the upheaval at Queen's Park last week, and speaking of disasters, we'll revisit the Trump White House again. In the back half of the show, we'll look at the ongoing concerns of election security, and the potentially greater threat of nuclear power (or is it...
End Credits - June 26, 2019 (Child's Play)
June 28, 2019 15:57 - 55 minutes - 76.3 MBThis week on End Credits, we enter the terrifying realm of the killer dolls. It's been kind of a theme this summer with two killer doll movies coming out within a week of each other, but this week, it's all about Child's Play. Also, we're going to talk about the latest MeToo casualty, sequel ennui, the future of movies, and the Napoleon Bonaparte bio-pic we've never got (but might?). This Wednesday, June 12, at 2 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: #MeToo the Max. Max La...
Open Sources Guelph - June 20, 2019
June 24, 2019 14:18 - 53 minutes - 61.5 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we revisit a couple of our favourite people, one is a youthful, active, left-leaning Canadian politician in his late-40s, and the other is an inactive, inattentive, and far-right leaning American businessman turned politician in his mid-70s. Who are they? Well, they're not one of the councillors from Guelph's fourth ward, who will be our special guest in studio this week. This Thursday, June 20, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Lo...
End Credits - June 19, 2019 (Dark Phoenix/Batman's 30th)
June 21, 2019 10:18 - 55 minutes - 63.8 MBHope you like superheroes, because this week's End Credits is all about them (so you know for sure that Vince isn't taking part in this one). We're going to talk about the latest superhero movie released in theatres, Dark Phoenix, and we're also going to talk about the legacy of the 11 X-Men films prior to it. And in a special anniversary Re-View, we're going to return to the Gotham City of Tim Burton and remember a man called "Bat." This Wednesday, June 12, at 2 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and ...
Open Sources Guelph - June 13, 2019
June 17, 2019 10:58 - 53 minutes - 61.5 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph we will again tackle the pressing issues of the day, and maybe have a few laughs along the way. But probably not. We're drowning in plastic, and then there's the drastic changes made by the Ford government, which has decided to take the next five months off having been so productive. We'll also have a visitor in the form of one of Guelph's 12 city councillors. Hint? She'll be doing the interview in her home ward. This Thursday, June 13, at 5 pm, Scotty Hert...
End Credits - June 12, 2019 (Booksmart)
June 14, 2019 10:45 - 55 minutes - 63 MBThis week on End Credits, we're finally going to get book smart, or rather Booksmart. We'll review this new, and seemingly underrated, comedy, and we'll talk about some other things too. The quality of bio-pics, the significance of Comic Con, when good movies go bad, and the 35th birthday of a pair of classics are all up for discussion. This Wednesday, June 12, at 2 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Vince Masson will discuss: Myopic About Bio-Pics? Rocketman, the new film about the life of Elton J...
GUELPH POLITICAST #174 - Bill 108
June 12, 2019 15:49 - 1 hour - 75.6 MBThe Government of Ontario has recessed for the summer, but not before they passed the More Homes, More Choices Act, or Bill 108. You've probably heard a lot about Bill 108, or at least enough to know that it's not as benign as the name of it implies. Yes, there will be some serious consequences from its passage, so let's take a moment to figure out what they are. Bill 108 is an omnibus bill that alters 13 different pieces of legislation, and they are all named at the beginning of this week'...
Open Sources Guelph - June 6, 2019
June 10, 2019 10:52 - 55 minutes - 63.5 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're going to tackle head on a national tragedy. Even though it's Indigenous History Month in June, a time for celebration, we're going to do a deep dive into the end of the Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, and the other issues our First Nations people are facing. Then, a humour break, as Donald Trump once again storms the diplomatic world. And finally, we'll talk about how the world seems to be turning on alternative medicine. ...
End Credits - June 5, 2019 (Brightburn)
June 07, 2019 16:14 - 57 minutes - 66 MBThis week on End Credits things are going to get meta. What happens when you take the story of the world's greatest superhero and make him a bad guy? We'll find out when we watch Brightburn. Speaking of bad guys, we'll talk about Hollywood's battle against new abortion laws, and the lost meaning of Godzilla. Also, we'll also discuss being Booksmart and what Harrison Ford is mad about now. This Wednesday, June 5, at 2 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Georgia on Our M...
Open Sources Guelph - May 30, 2019
June 03, 2019 10:29 - 54 minutes - 62.9 MBSummer is here, so tune into Open Sources Guelph this week while sitting out on the patio drinking a beer. That's the vision that the Ontario government wants you to follow up on, or perhaps the only response to this week's news is a good stiff drink. Anyway, we'll be talking about the latest from the Ontario government, election moves from a pair of former Liberals, and then news from Europe on the future of Brexit, and the new parliament that the continent just elected. This Thursday, Ma...
End Credits - May 29, 2019 (Aladdin)
May 31, 2019 10:17 - 56 minutes - 64.5 MBThis week on End Credits, we will make all your wishes come true. Hopefully, your wish is to hear us review the live-action remake of Aladdin, and also talk about some interesting movie news items from the last week. We've got new trailers, new Star Wars pics, a new Batman, and the last Game of Thrones discussion you'll ever need. This Wednesday, May 29, at 2 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Rey of Light. Vanity Fair has done its usual in-depth cover story and photo sp...
GUELPH POLITICAST #173 – Robert Swayze, Integrity Commissioner
May 29, 2019 10:20 - 38 minutes - 44.1 MBIf you’re lucky, then you will only ever hear from the integrity commissioner once a year when he or she delivers their annual report. But if your city council is dysfunctional, and unable to work together cordially or in good faith, then the integrity commissioner is your best friend. This week on the podcast, we talk to the City of Guelph's Integrity Commissioner, Robert Swayze. He's acted in that capacity for the last relatively boring 11 years. In fact, this year’s report had only three...
Open Sources Guelph - May 23, 2019
May 26, 2019 10:20 - 54 minutes - 62.4 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're going to try and look past the usual suspects to get at some of the under reported stories in the news this week. Among them, we'll look at an official investigation into money laundering, and a key turn of phrase that's a giant step forward in dealing with out racist past. Speaking of racism, that's still a thing, and a couple of people in Canada are doing their best to bring it back, while some American states are trying to bring back their own dark ...
End Credits - May 22, 2019 (John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum)
May 24, 2019 10:20 - 55 minutes - 63.9 MBThis week on End Credits if you want peace, prepare for war. The war, of course, is not ours, but rather it's the latest entry in the John Wick franchise. We'll review Parabellum, and we'll talk about the wonderfully eclectic career of its star Keanu Reeves. We'll also talk about the return of James Gunn, the business dangers facing Netflix, and Game of Thrones anger. This Wednesday, May 22, at 2 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Vince Masson will discuss: Son of a Gunn. Nearly a year after he wa...
Open Sources Guelph - May 16, 2019
May 19, 2019 10:54 - 58 minutes - 66.6 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, it's about all the unanswered questions. Will another scandal permanently sink the Liberals chances for re-election? Which political party will disappointed progressives find more appealing in the election? Will Doug Ford ever run out of scandals? And is there an election somewhere that might be bigger and stranger than anything going on in Canada? This Thursday, May 16, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Norman Leering. The prosecu...
End Credits - May 15, 2019 (Pokemon Detective Pikachu)
May 17, 2019 12:38 - 56 minutes - 64.7 MBIt's time for another End Credits, and this week we're going where we've never gone before: in search of Pokémon. We're going to be solving crimes in this episode with Detective Pikachu, and we're going to be getting to the bottom of the latest news. On that account, we'll talk about movie schedule musical chairs, a Furious producer, 10 years after Trek, and some new trailers. This Wednesday, May 15, at 2 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Shell Shock Empire. The Disney...
GUELPH POLITICAST #172 - The Clash Over Clair-Maltby
May 15, 2019 10:49 - 2 hours - 163 MBClair-Maltby is hundreds of acres of mostly untouched greenspace in Guelph's south end. For some, it represents millions of dollars in potential real estate profit, and for others, it represents a chance to develop in an environmentally responsible way that avoids the natural instinct to sprawl. These ideals clashed before City Council this past Monday. The main sticking point in this most recent update on the Clair-Maltby Secondary Plan was the fact that the planned location of the commun...
Open Sources Guelph - May 9, 2019
May 13, 2019 14:28 - 54 minutes - 62.2 MBIt's another busy week here in the Open Sources Guelph newsroom. We've got environmental stuff on the go with talk about the carbon tax and the small matter of a million species dying out. In between, we'll talk about religious matters of law in Quebec, and take a look at all the people who want to replace Donald Trump as the leader of the free world. Just business as usual. This Thursday, May 9, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will (re) discuss: Onward Carbon. A ruling from th...
End Credits - May 8, 2019 (Long Shot)
May 10, 2019 10:54 - 56 minutes - 64.3 MBThis week on End Credits, we're getting politically romantic. Our review this week is Long Shot, a movie about finding love in all the wrong places, like the campaign trail, and it might offer some refreshing laughs from American politics. We're also going to be talking about spoilers, new trailers, the best of the decade, and the loss of a major voice in modern cinema. This Wednesday, May 8, at 2 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Singleton in Time. John Singleton passe...
Open Sources Guelph - May 2, 2019
May 06, 2019 10:31 - 1 hour - 69 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we take a mid-spring break. Does that sound weird? Too bad, we're doing! Maybe we're heading to Ottawa to see the Storm in the final round of the OHL playoffs. Maybe we're heading south to campaign for "Uncle" Joe Biden. Maybe we're workshopping our puppet musical about the life of Nikola Tesla. In any event, we're replaying our most recent interviews with the MP and MPP of the riding of Guelph. This Thursday, May 2, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donal...
End Credits - May 1, 2019 (Avengers: Endgame)
May 03, 2019 10:29 - 55 minutes - 63.2 MBThis week on End Credits, we hope you like superhero movies and Avengers and stuff, because this one is all Marvel, all the time. Or, at least all Marvel, for an hour. So this week we're reviewing Avengers: Endgame, and before that, we're going to look back at all the movies that came before and rank them because that's what you do sometimes. This Wednesday, May 1, at 2 pm, Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: New Universe Order. The Marvel Cinematic Universe launched in 2008 with Iron Man, an...
GUELPH POLITICAST #171 - Guelph Stuff (Climate Emergency, #GuelphProud, Polls)
May 01, 2019 10:26 - 41 minutes - 47.7 MBIt's been a while, but every now and then on the podcast, we like to take a minute, or 30, and talk about the issues happening Guelph, and give them some context in the bigger political picture. What are people talking about, how will it affect their lives, and what are the angles they're not thinking about? In other words, we're going to talk about "Guelph Stuff". This week on the podcast, we're joined again by Guelph Politico contributor Eli Ridder to chat a little about "Guelph Stuff", a...
Open Sources Guelph - April 25, 2019
April 29, 2019 10:10 - 52 minutes - 60.1 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph we learn again that elections have consequences. Here in Canada, we'll look at the consequences of two very big provincial elections at either end of the country, and here in Ontario we'll again look at what happens when you elect a party with no costed platform. But hey, it could be worse. The head of your government might be an unindicted co-conspirator who may only not be in jail right now because he's President of the United States! This Thursday, April ...
End Credits - April 24, 2019 (Pet Semetary)
April 26, 2019 10:41 - 57 minutes - 66.3 MBThis week on End Credits we journey to the darkest depths of the backyard and the hidden evils of where Ruffles and Mittens are laid to rest. Yes, we will journey to the remade Pet Semetary, and talk about the man behind it, and the movies base on his works. We'll also talk about summer movies, the fate of Roman Polanski, and some local movie news one town over. This Wednesday, April 24, at 2 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Vince Masson will discuss: Roman Numeration. Academy Award winning dire...
GUELPH POLITICAST #170 - Kayla Weiler, Outgoing VP of the CSA
April 24, 2019 10:14 - 34 minutes - 39.6 MBIt's the end of April, and that means it's the end of the main school year. If you're a student that works on campus, that also means its turnover time; you're either entering a new position, or your leaving a position you invested a whole year in. Kayla Weiler is in the latter category. Weiler has been the Vice-President External of the Central Students Association at the University of Guelph for the last two years. She first appeared on the podcast back in episode #74 along with her fell...
Open Sources Guelph - April 18, 2019
April 22, 2019 10:01 - 56 minutes - 64.6 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're going to give ourselves a bit of a beak before the long weekend. Instead of our usual panorama of new and breaking news from the past week, we're going to have a series of interviews on this edition of the show. We'll hear from our own Member of Provincial Parliament, a man who wants to the Member of Parliament for a nearby riding, and a leader in organized labour for Ontario workers, and they all have something to say. This Thursday, April 18 at 5 p...
GUELPH POLITICAST #169 - Robin Gerus, GM of Guelph Transit
April 21, 2019 14:44 - 45 minutes - 52.2 MBOn the best of days, the city's transit system is a tough thing to manage, and in Guelph all transit matters come to the desk of General Manager Robin Gerus. On this week's second installment of a Politicast transit double-bill, we actually go to that desk and ask Gerus directly about the present concerns and challenges of Guelph Transit. Earlier this week, the Transit Action Alliance of Guelph, or TAAG, talked to the podcast about their feelings about the current state of transit, and the...
End Credits - April 17, 2019 (Shazam!)
April 19, 2019 10:14 - 55 minutes - 64 MBTo listen to this week's End Credits, all you have to do is say the magic word, "please". Actually, you don't even need to do that, just tune in to CFRU and listen as we review that other magic word-based movie, Shazam! Before that though, we'll talk about a cinematic universe's comeback, how we watch movies, Canadian Film Day, and this week in Disney news. (Yes, this is its own category now.) This Wednesday, April 17, at 2 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Plus One. D...
GUELPH POLITICAST #168 – The Transit Pass with TAAG
April 17, 2019 10:53 - 40 minutes - 46.1 MBThe Service Review was delivered, council took its recommendations seriously, and the new spending it proposed was passed in the annual budget process. So everything worked out, right? Not so fast, because the work of improving transit is ongoing, and there's a group in town is keeping a watchful eye on the situation as it develops. It's time for the Transit Pass! Back in December, the members of the Transit Action Alliance of Guelph, or TAAG, made their first appearance on the Politicast a...
Open Sources Guelph - April 11, 2019
April 16, 2019 10:16 - 56 minutes - 64.2 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we look to the future. Not the type of future with jetpacks and stuff, but the more immediate future about the 2019 Federal Election. Specifically, are we doing enough to tackle the creeping alt-right, not to mention foreign influencers looking to peddle? Back in the present, we'll look at the new Ontario government's first budget, and the doings south of the border at the other southern border. This Thursday, April 11 at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Dona...
End Credits - April 10, 2019 (The Beach Bum)
April 12, 2019 10:50 - 56 minutes - 64.3 MBThis week on End Credits, we'll mark the return of warmer weather and the start of summer vacation at the U of G by heading to the beach. Cinematically speaking. We'll review the new indie comedy, The Beach Bum, and also talk about the "Clash of Kings." Yes, that's a Game of Thrones reference, but it's also a reference to the fight between Hollywood writers and agents. On top of that, we'll talk about the Joker movie, and a pair of killer doll flicks! This Wednesday, April 10, at 3 pm, Ada...
GUELPH POLITICAST #167 - On Development Part II: The Official Plan
April 10, 2019 10:28 - 41 minutes - 48 MBIf you want to talk about development in Guelph, or any municipality in Ontario for that matter, you have to start with the Official Plan. Every decision concerning what can be built, where it can be built, how it can be built, and what services it needs stems from a 403-page, living document that you've probably never read. The City of Guelph website describes the Official Plan as “focused on sustainability and establishes policies that have a positive effect on Guelph’s social, economic, ...
Open Sources Guelph - April 4, 2019
April 08, 2019 10:19 - 1 hour - 75.9 MBIt's a new month, but it's business as usual in news on this week's edition of Open Sources Guelph. Most of that is thanks to Ottawa, and the never-ending scandal about that one Montreal engineering firm and the politicians trying to cover for it, but there is new news out there. In one small island in Canada, they may be flirting with an entirely new type of government, but will they seal the deal? So there's that, and we'll try and get some insight at the intersection of Federal and local ...
End Credits - April 3, 2019 (Heathers ReView)
April 05, 2019 10:40 - 56 minutes - 64.7 MBThis week on End Credits, we're going to go back... Back in time! Instead of a new movies this week, we're going to revisit an old movie. Heathers turns the big 3-0 this week, and we're going to revisit this very complex film. Plus, we're back on the Disney merger beat, we'll discuss labour issues at movie theatres, and then we'll look at another 90s remake, and the not so strange world of a filmmaker who might have lost their way. This Wednesday, April 3, at 2 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Ca...
GUELPH POLITICAST #166 - Mirali Almaula, The Ontarion
April 03, 2019 10:38 - 30 minutes - 34.9 MBNobody in the press likes being story, but the student press lately has very much been part of the story. The state of the media today is the story as we've seen with papers closing start-ups coming and going, and layoffs affecting the entire sector. The landscape is changing, and it's changing rapidly, and not even the student media is immune from the shift. At the University of Guelph this week, it's The Ontarion that's been making some news of it's own as they're going down to a monthly ...
Open Sources Guelph - March 28, 2019
April 01, 2019 10:38 - 57 minutes - 65.3 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph many of our ongoing stories lines come to a head, but it's not exactly the end of the story. We'll look at the questions that still linger even though the Mueller Report has been delivered. We'll cover the beginning of the Alberta election, which might be the end of one brief dynasty. Abroad, we'll look at the exit that didn't happen, but still might, and then a candidate in Israel's election seems to be depending on some of that foreign interference. This ...
End Credits - March 27, 2019 (Us)
March 29, 2019 10:32 - 55 minutes - 63.6 MBThis week on End Credits, it's us, and it's not us. Maybe it's both. Who can say if we are who we say we are, or if we're shadows of ourselves tethered to another reality? And if this preamble means nothing to you, then you weren't part of the record breaking audience for Us this past weekend. We'll review Jordan Peele's latest, and talk about some other movie stuff, new films in production, and new trailers. This Wednesday, March 27, at 2 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will disc...
GUELPH POLITICAST #165 - Fraud Prevention Month
March 27, 2019 10:50 - 36 minutes - 42.2 MBMarch is Fraud Prevention Month. Hold you applause. If you made it without being accosted by someone trying to con you, count your blessings, but don't let your guard down! Scammers are out for your money, and your personal information, all 12 months of the year, and some people want us more prepared for that eventuality. In all, there were 59,009 reports of fraud from Canadian consumers and businesses last year costing us approximately $97,654,160.35. That covers extortion, phishing, count...
Open Sources Guelph - March 21, 2019
March 25, 2019 10:37 - 56 minutes - 65 MBOpen Sources Guelph came on the air with a discussion of extremism back in 2015, and it's been kind of a recurring theme ever since. This week, extremism hits New Zealand and we'll talk about the implications, as well as the implications for Canada's own growing hate movements. On the lighter side, we'll also talk about the newly revealed Federal budget, and the latest follies from Queen's Park. This Thursday, March 21 at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: We're In the...
End Credits - March 20, 2019 (Green Book)
March 22, 2019 10:05 - 58 minutes - 67.3 MBThis week on End Credits, we court controversy. We dig into arguably the most controversial pick for Best Picture in the last 20 years, and ask if it might be too much to expect a road move to solve racism. Yup, we're reviewing Green Book, and we're talking about the last days of a movie studio, another Simpsons squabble, the trailer for *that* Disney movie, and whether or not it's okay to be okay. This Wednesday, March 20, at 2 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Vince Masson will discuss: The End...
GUELPH POLITICAST #164 - The Rookies (OSG Interviews)
March 20, 2019 10:26 - 52 minutes - 60.4 MBToday, students and community groups on campuses across Ontario will go on strike to protest the Ontario government's Student Choice Initiative, which could defund in part, or entirely, a lot of different campus clubs, services, and yes, media. One such impacted group would be CFRU, the community radio station that operates out of the University of Guelph. This is relevant to the Guelph Politicast because CFRU is where the show is recorded every week. It's also relevant because the Politic...
Open Sources Guelph - March 14, 2019
March 18, 2019 10:36 - 55 minutes - 63.6 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we play catch-up, and man, there is a lot of news out there, so we have to take our hour this week and cover all points.
