GUELPH POLITICAST #398 – Doctors Wanted
November 23, 2023 01:59 - 44 minutes - 71.7 MBBy the numbers $43,335 per year for two years is probably the smallest ask of this budget cycle, but the work that money will fund is actually pretty important: Attracting new doctors to Guelph and Wellington. For many of us that live here, Guelph is a destination that sells itself, but the competition for a small number of new doctors is fierce and Guelph-Wellington is one of the last municipalities to have a formal plan to get them. Is it too late for us to get in the game? On budget dele...
Open Sources Guelph #450 - November 16, 2023
November 20, 2023 09:10 - 57 minutes - 92.6 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, can you smell what the show is cooking?! That's an old reference, but it might have new relevance if a certain wrestler turned actor decides that he wants to be a politician now. Somehow, this idea is far less concerning than the company that the Premier of Alberta is keeping, and speaking of concerning, we will play host to a member of our local city council who's going to talk about that big budget conundrum. This Thursday, November 16, at 5 pm, Scotty H...
End Credits #321 - November 15, 2023 (The Killer)
November 17, 2023 09:05 - 58 minutes - 93.2 MBThis week on End Credits, we don't have any feelings. That's the aesthetic - some people say - of David Fincher, and it's pretty much a theme of his new movie, The Killer. On this show, it's going to be all Fincher, all the time as we draft the director's best works, and then we will dive into his new entry, which you can now stream on Netflix, and see if it's worthy of future "Best of" lists. This Wednesday, November 15, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: The Finc...
GUELPH POLITICAST #397 - Fixing the Digital Divide
November 15, 2023 09:25 - 41 minutes - 65.8 MBEver wonder what your life would be like if you didn’t have easy access to a digital device. How would you get the news? How would you sign up for your COVID-19 booster? How would people reach you? For many of us, crossing the digital divide is easy, but for other people in our community it’s hard to cross that Rubicon, and now there’s a group in Guelph that is dedicated to helping people build a bridge. In a report published by Statistics Canada last year, it was noted that the number of p...
Open Sources Guelph #449 - November 9, 2023
November 13, 2023 09:40 - 58 minutes - 93.2 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we make jokes about snow tires. Good thing because the rest of this show is about some super serious stuff including the war in Gaza, which has really heated up since we last talked about it, and along with that we will also talk about how we're discussing the war here at home. Speaking of home, there are a lot of people in our community without one and we're going to talk to someone in government trying to fix that. This Thursday, November 9, at 5 pm, Sco...
End Credits #320 - November 8, 2023 (Fair Play)
November 10, 2023 09:26 - 57 minutes - 92.3 MBThis week on End Credits, we're upsetting the system. Gender politics and the politics of power are on the menu with the movie we're reviewing for this show as we fire up in the Netflix machine and put Fair Play, one of the most talked about films of the year, in the queue. And speaking of systems, we'll ask if whether November 8 is too early for a Christmas movie marathon. This Wednesday, November 8, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Christmas So Early. You can ba...
GUELPH POLITICAST #396 – Un-Forgetting the Korean War
November 08, 2023 08:58 - 52 minutes - 84.5 MBThis Saturday is Remembrance Day, our annual opportunity to stop and remember Canada’s war dead who made the ultimate sacrifice and the ones that came home. But not all wars are remembered equally. For instance, the Korean War has long been characterized as “the forgotten war”, so on this 70th anniversary of the unofficial end of the Korean War, how can we make sure that the forgotten war gets remembered? On Remembrance Day 2013 in Guelph, the 60th anniversary of the end of the Korean War w...
Open Sources Guelph #448 - November 2, 2023
November 06, 2023 09:43 - 59 minutes - 94.5 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we come down from the Halloween sugar high. A lot's been happening on the homefront lately so we will take a break from current affairs in the Middle East and look at Queen's Park, where the government seems buried under a mound of paper released to the press this week. Speaking of getting buried, we will look at if the federal government has buried itself by revisiting its most controversial piece of legislation. And lastly, we have another city council fri...
End Credits #319 - November 1, 2023 (Killers of the Flower Moon)
November 03, 2023 09:52 - 58 minutes - 93.4 MBThis week on End Credits, things are sombre. Halloween is over, it's the long dull march through November to the official start of the Christmas season, and the serious award-seeking movies are starting to come out. Speaking of which, we're going to talk about one of those movies, Killers of the Flower Moon, and to balance things out, we're also going to talk about some happier times on film. This Wednesday, November 1, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: The Feels. ...
GUELPH POLITICAST #395 – Silence is Golden
November 01, 2023 09:12 - 42 minutes - 68.7 MBSilence has been around for 11 years now. In the fall of 2012, it was founded to provide an outlet for the presentation and creation of new, creative and non-idiomatic music in the fields of improvisation, electro-acoustics, post-rock, jazz, chamber music, computer music, noise, ambient, sound art and more. Silence's niches have niches, but how are they managing in the midst of all the post-pandemic challenge? You may recall that city council passed the new Culture Plan last week, which wa...
Open Sources Guelph #447 - October 26, 2023
October 30, 2023 09:26 - 58 minutes - 93 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we realize that it's always darkest just before Halloween. At least that's what it seems like when we open social media or a news app on our phone. We've got a full slate of political news for you from the latest in the Middle East and the frontlines in Israel to the battle lines in Queen's Park. And then, we go to Saskatchewan where there was some constitutional experimentation, and speaking of experimenting, might Guelph be flirting with the blue team?! ...
End Credits #318 - October 25, 2023 (The Exorcist: Believer)
October 27, 2023 09:13 - 58 minutes - 93.1 MBThis week on End Credits, it's Halloween! Obviously. Let us mark the occasion, appropriately enough, with a review of a horror movie, and this time let it be The Exorcist: Believer. The Power of Christ will compel us to render a verdict about that movie, and it will also compel us to do something new as we hand out the first ever Horror Oscars! This Wednesday, October 25, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: The Horror Oscars. You thought we were still months away fro...
GUELPH POLITICAST #394 – Guelph, After Dark
October 25, 2023 08:59 - 44 minutes - 71.3 MBMaybe you’ve heard the term "dark tourism", there’s a whole Netflix series about it, but you don’t have to go abroad to somewhere famous to get a taste of dark tourism. Would it surprise you to learn that we have a hot little dark tourism industry right here in Guelph? As we approach Halloween on Tuesday, perhaps it’s time we appreciated just what kind of a sorted little town we have here, historically speaking. Now there’s an actual definition for “dark tourism” and we will get into that i...
Open Sources Guelph #446 - October 19, 2023
October 23, 2023 09:06 - 56 minutes - 91.1 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, it's a kind of rerun. On the one hand, there's still violence in the Middle East and it seems to be getting worse despite the interventions of foreign leaders and aid agencies. On the other hand we've got a great big new convoy, except it might not be as big as the previous one, but it's still kind of annoying. And then, on our hidden third hand, we will talk about local stuff with a member of city council and how that might impact your wallet. This Thursda...
End Credits #317 - October 18, 2023 (Flora and Son)
October 20, 2023 09:40 - 57 minutes - 92.1 MBThis week on End Credits, we'll cue the music, and no, we don't mean the usual mid-show music segment. The movie we're reviewing this week is a kind of musical, or at very least a musical celebration. Can the power of music save your soul, your relationships, and your love life? Flora and Son will tell us, and we'll also talk about other movies about making music. This Wednesday, October 18, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: The Music, Man! Can you have movies witho...
GUELPH POLITICAST #393 - You’ve Got Mailbag!
October 18, 2023 09:16 - 49 minutes - 80 MBThis week's podcast is dedicated to you, the people, who sent in questions for this Guelph Politicast mailbag over the weekend. Guelph is filled with lots of curious people who are deeply concerned about issues and politics, and some of you came up with some very deep and probing questions for this first mailbag edition since well before the start of the pandemic. Get ready for 45 minutes of one annoying person talking! Here are the topics that the mailbag will cover: 1) Is Doug done? 2) ...
Open Sources Guelph #445 - October 12, 2023
October 16, 2023 08:40 - 56 minutes - 90.7 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we've got to get serious for bit. Well, more serious. As we were enjoying the Thanksgiving long weekend, there was no rest for the people in Israel and the Gaza Strip and now a full-scale war seems to be inevitable. In lighter news though, there's more dysfunction in the Republic Party for us to laugh at, and for the interview this week, we'll head back up Highway #7 to visit another provincial election candidate. This Thursday, October 12, at 5 pm, Scotty...
End Credits #316 - October 11, 2023 (The Equalizer 3)
October 13, 2023 09:33 - 57 minutes - 92.7 MBThis week on End Credits we're thankful for good movies. Obviously. After a long weekend off, we're back with not just one movie, but one movie and four shorter movies. As you can see from the picture, we're going to mark the VOD release of The Equalizer 3 by talking about why it's so awesome, plus Wes Anderson made some stuff for Netflix. Did you notice? This Wednesday, October 11, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: The Anderson Four. In 2009, Wes Anderson made The...
GUELPH POLITICAST #392 – Caution’s Creek Part 1: The Past
October 11, 2023 08:51 - 42 minutes - 67.5 MBThis is one of those episodes that’s based on events that predate many of us that have come to call Guelph home in the last few decades. It’s also a story about land issues, and the desire to protect sensitive land from development. It's had a lot of names over the years including the Kortright Waterfowl Park, the Niska Lands, and the Hanlon Creek Conservation Area, but the story around this property is just as complicated to sort out. Perhaps the most concise history of the area was writte...
Open Sources Gulph #444 - October 5, 2023
October 09, 2023 09:15 - 58 minutes - 93.9 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph we're thankful for scandal. As we head into the long weekend, we're going to talk about the ongoing issues facing the House of Commons that have kind of made a mockery of Canada on the international stage. It's good fodder for a podcast, which might soon be under the regulatory umbrella of the CRTC. In the back half of the show, we're going to talk about the recent increase in the minimum wage, and why it still isn't good enough. This Thursday, October 5, at...
End Credits #315 - October 4, 2023 (It Lives Inside)
October 06, 2023 09:03 - 57 minutes - 92.4 MBThis week on End Credits we get spooky. Halloween is around the corner, and by "around the corner" we mean in the next several weeks. True, there's still a whole month to go before the day, but we begin this episode by visiting a streaming channel that's spooky 365 days a year. And then, in the review, we get spookier still with one of the latest horror movie releases. This Wednesday, September 27, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Three From Shudder. It's our fir...
GUELPH POLITICAST #391 - A National Park (If We Can Keep It)
October 04, 2023 09:10 - 49 minutes - 79.5 MBSince it closed in 2000, the Ontario Reformatory, and the 108 hectares that surround it, have been the source of much conversation, optimism and fantasy. We got the Guelph Innovation District Secondary Plan, we’ve got a Heritage Conservation District Study, and now we’ve got a project to turn the area into a national park. Is creating a national park the end game for the OR Lands we’ve been looking for? Creating a National Urban Park system was an initiative started by the federal governmen...
Open Sources Guelph #443 - September 28, 2023
October 02, 2023 09:16 - 56 minutes - 90.8 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, it all just blew up! It was kind of cruel last week when Ontario's premier came out and apologized for a two-month old scandal on show day, but it was well-timed for the start of the fall session, which we will talk about on this show. In other news, Parliament Hill was not to be outdone in controversy and if you have "100-year-old Nazi" on your Bingo card, we've got good news. And finally, did you know there's an election in Manitoba right now? This Thurs...
End Credits #314 - September 27, 2023 (El Conde)
September 29, 2023 09:09 - 57 minutes - 92.6 MBThis week on End Credits, we get a jump on Halloween month with a vampire tale. But lest you think this is some horror movie like Last Voyage of the Demeter, it's got a very pointed historical and political point of view. We're going back to Netflix to review the new political satire El Conde, and along with that, we're going to discuss other similar satires. This Wednesday, September 27, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Satire Power. So this week we're talking ab...
GUELPH POLITICAST #390 – How to Cover a Protest in 2023
September 27, 2023 08:58 - 1 hour - 106 MBFor years, Guelph has been a hotbed of protest, a very politically inclined city on a variety of issues including climate change, poverty, workers rights, equality, Black Lives Matter, and the systemic abuse of Indigenous peoples. Last Wednesday, direct action was on display again as people gathered in Market Square, but this was a protest completely unlike any other in a number of ways, and we need to take a moment to unpack things. To recap, last Wednesday morning about about 250 people ...
Open Sources Guelph #442 - September 21, 2023
September 25, 2023 09:33 - 57 minutes - 92 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph things get serious. Well, they're pretty serious every week, but it's not every week that we're talking about a foreign government allegedly killing a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil. And to think we were going to start this week with talk of grocery prices... So there's that, plus we'll talk about the seasonal return of COVID-19 and in local news, we will turn to one of our city councillors about some of the latest doings at 1 Carden Street. This Thursda...
End Credits #313 - September 20, 2023 (Theater Camp)
September 22, 2023 09:18 - 57 minutes - 92.6 MBThis week, End Credits is all about the craft. You can have the best script, the greatest cinematography, and state-of-the-art special effects, but it means nothing without the actors to bring it to life. That's what Theater Camp does, it celebrates the actors, and their eccentricities. And speaking of celebrating actors, we're also going to talk about one of Peter's favourites. This Wednesday, September 13, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Denzel's Hidden Gems. No...
GUELPH POLITICAST #389 - It’s In the Code
September 20, 2023 09:19 - 58 minutes - 93.8 MBHave you heard there’s a housing crisis? It’s pretty much all anyone can talk about, which is understandable, and the causes of the crisis are many. But have you thought about the Building Code? Chances are you haven’t, but this important document meant to govern our health and safety indoors might have some holes in it, and it might be causing complications that are getting in the way of desperately needed new units. The Building Code, you say? We often talk about it like there's just one,...
Open Sources Guelph #441 - September 14, 2023
September 17, 2023 15:40 - 58 minutes - 93.1 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're bring it home! The news that is. Of course, that's also the new catchphrase for the all-new, all-different Conservative Party who had a very newsy policy meeting in Quebec City last week. A little to the west in Ottawa, a couple of people once supported by the new leader of the Conservatives are now on trial, and we will discuss that too before finding an Ontario mayor not named 'Guthrie' to fill our interview slot this week. This Thursday, September...
End Credits #312 - September 13, 2023 (Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny)
September 15, 2023 09:07 - 57 minutes - 91.9 MBThis week on End Credits, we're going back to the well. For the review this week, we're going to catch up on one of the summer hits we missed with the now home video release of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. And speaking of sequels, we will celebrate the second entry in a horror movies series by talking about our other favourite horror movie #2s. This Wednesday, September 13, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Scream Two. This past weekend, The Nun II was nu...
GUELPH POLITICAST #388 – Book Sale: The Next Chapter
September 13, 2023 09:05 - 37 minutes - 59.8 MBIt’s one week till the Big Book Sale, the annual event that the Friends of the Guelph Public Library was created to administer over 15 years ago. It was a fundraising project launched to show that Guelph had an appetite for a new main library building, and after years of banking all the funds raised, the endgame is finally in sight nearly 20 years later. So what happens when the Friends have achieved their goal? The first book sale was in Old Quebec Street in 2007, almost 20,000 books were ...
Open Sources Guelph #440 - September 7, 2023
September 11, 2023 09:38 - 56 minutes - 90.9 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're not back at school but we're still looking for an education. With this episode, we're trying to get smarter about Greenbelt-gate, which had a number of big developments in the last several days, and a new mass protest based on conspiracy theories that has us worried. For the interview this week, we go to Ward 3 where one of the councillors from Guelph's north end will talk about the fall sitting of the horseshoe at City Hall. This Thursday, September...
End Credits #311 - September 6, 2023 (You Are So Not Inviting to My Bat Mitzvah)
September 08, 2023 09:07 - 57 minutes - 92.7 MBThis week on End Credits, we become adults! That's the whole point of a Bat Mitzvah, and that's the whole point of the new Netflix coming-of-age comedy You Are So Not Inviting to My Bat Mitzvah, which has a fun local connection. Speaking of making connections, we will talk about some of the movies we're looking forward to seeing over the next few months. This Wednesday, September 6, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Fall Movie Preview. As September dawns and festiv...
GUELPH POLITICAST #387 – Trade Kraft
September 06, 2023 09:09 - 36 minutes - 58 MBThis year, Guelph Public Library CEO Steve Kraft is celebrating 40 years as a dedicated employee of the Guelph Library, rising through the proverbial ranks - or is that stacks - from the counter in the children’s library to the chief executive’s office. As Kraft’s library career in Guelph turns 40, the system he runs is turning 150, and as the Guelph Public Library marks its sesquicentennial in 2023 it’s in the middle of very big transitional period. On June 20, something impossible happene...
Open Sources Guelph #439 - August 31, 2023
September 04, 2023 09:40 - 57 minutes - 91.5 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're getting you ready for Labour Day! No, not the holiday weekend widely considered the last break of the summer, we mean the "fight the power" version where you get out on the streets and fight for workers' rights. We've got work on the mind with labour negotiations for Ontario's teachers, and we've got fighting on the mind with the latest from Ukraine. In terms of a labour fight, we've got someone who's a picket line right now. This Thursday, August 31...
End Credits #310 - August 30, 2023 (They Cloned Tyronne)
September 01, 2023 09:48 - 57 minutes - 91.9 MBThis week on End Credits, we're back! After taking our annual summer vacation! We're refreshed and reinvested just in time for the fall movie season, but since we're not there yet we will have to settle for a summer release. This week, we're reviewing the new sci-fi comedy mystery on Netflix, The Cloned Tyrone, and on the occasion of his 25th birthday, we're re-visiting Blade. This Wednesday, August 30, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Blade of Glory. In August 1...
GUELPH POLITICAST #386 - Alan’s Box (A Labour Day Special)
August 30, 2023 09:09 - 42 minutes - 68.2 MBThis weekend is Labour Day, and boy is there labour activity these days. From the Canadian Media Guild workers at TVO to employees at Toronto area Metro grocery stores to municipal workers in Cochrane Ontario, it's been non-stop labour action in 2023. Our podcast this week isn't about any of those strikes, but it is about someone who held deeply the cause of advancing workers rights. Go down to Goldie Mill Park, the unofficial home and rally point for local labour here in Guelph, and you ma...
Open Sources Guelph #438 - August 24, 2023
August 28, 2023 08:57 - 56 minutes - 89.8 MBThis weekend on Open Sources Guelph, we go from one mess to another. We will look at the political fight to make progress on fighting climate change, and then we will look at the fight to hold Donald Trump to account as he's arrested again in an entirely different jurisdiction. And finally, for the interview this week, we will talk to a person that's fighting the good fight on the drug poisoning crisis on our community ahead of a very special occasion. This Thursday, August 24, at 5 pm, Sc...
End Credits #REPEAT - August 23, 2023
August 25, 2023 09:34 - 56 minutes - 90 MBThis week on End Credits, and next week (or last week depending on when you read this), we're on summer vacation. Are we watching movies over these two weeks off? Probably, but we're not reviewing them for you. While we're out getting some sun and enjoying the beach, you get a couple of reruns. Grab a drink, feel the waves, and we'll see you in a couple of weeks! Summer's Off. It's no easy thing to take a vacation from your high-powered and stressful job. Maybe the whole thing falls apart ...
GUELPH POLITICAST #Repeat - The Ongoing Paramedic Stress
August 23, 2023 08:52 - 41 minutes - 67.1 MBIt happened again on the August long weekend. Offload delays at the Guelph General Hospital created some long line-ups for ambulances, and a couple of days before that there was another Code Red. The story has been repeating itself for over a year now, too many ambulances lined up at the hospital and not enough available in the community, but how do the paramedics themselves feel about the pressure they're under? Earlier this year, we were joined by Nick Di Ruzza, who was the president of t...
Open Sources Guelph #437 - August 17, 2023
August 21, 2023 09:20 - 57 minutes - 92.5 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're back from summer vacation, and it was nice that everyone waited till the first part of August to launch their biggest scandals. We're going to talk about one of those on this week's show, a scandal that intersects with housing, the environment, and government process in what we like to call a trifecta, but in this case we'll just call Greenbelt-gate. We'll discuss that, and we'll talk to a person on the frontline of fighting high rents! This Thursday...
End Credits #REPEAT August 16, 2023
August 18, 2023 09:33 - 57 minutes - 91.4 MBThis week on End Credits, and next week (or last week depending on when you read this), we're on summer vacation. Are we watching movies over these two weeks off? Probably, but we're not reviewing them for you. While we're out getting some sun and enjoying the beach, you get a couple of reruns. Grab a drink, feel the waves, and we'll see you in a couple of weeks! Summer's Off. It's no easy thing to take a vacation from your high-powered and stressful job. Maybe the whole thing falls apart ...
GUELPH POLITICAST #385 - The Year at Council So Far...
August 16, 2023 08:52 - 1 hour - 109 MBIn August, there's usually no council business to talk about but there are unusual times so on the same day the annual mid-year council recap goes live we get a super-unusual August council meeting. In this very busy first year of a new council term, perhaps it shouldn't be surprising that council business would burst over the side and flood the vacation months, and it all comes down to a single word: housing. The housing crisis has been hovering over just about all aspects of City business...
Open Sources Guelph #REPEAT - August 10, 2023
August 14, 2023 09:18 - 57 minutes - 91.9 MBThis 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. Barbeque Season....
End Credits #309 - August 9, 2023 (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem)
August 11, 2023 09:13 - 57 minutes - 92.1 MBThis week on End Credits, we have Turtle Power! As we enter the proverbial late summer doldrums at the box office, we look for some gold in the form of the new animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. And since summer's best days are behind us, we will peel back the layers and determine what was the best, and yes, what was the worst. This Wednesday, August 2, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Summer's End. Okay, so it's not technically the end of summe...
GUELPH POLITICAST #Repeat - Counting Down to (Net) Zero
August 09, 2023 09:29 - 44 minutes - 71 MB"Hot enough for ya?" A charming conversation starter in summers past, but here in August 2023 it seems more like a damning curse. Last month was the hottest month on the planet in a few hundred millennia, forest fires rage out of control in several provinces, smog from those fires choke cities in the south, and now there's the threat that the Gulf Stream may be gone by 2025. What can we do on the local level in the wake of all these developments? That was one of the questions we put to Bya...
Open Sources Guelph #REPEAT - August 3, 2023
August 07, 2023 09:15 - 58 minutes - 93.3 MBThis 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. Barbeque Season....
End Credits #308 - August 2, 2023 (Oppenheimer)
August 04, 2023 09:02 - 1 hour - 103 MBThis week on End Credits, we tackle the back half of "Barbenheimer".
