This week on Open Sources Guelph, we catch up with old friends. While Mark Carney was hugging it out with a Canadian celebrity, MPs were returning to Ottawa for another session or where else detoured by bad winter weather. We will also detour, but to the United States where there’s another kind of chill in the air, plus we will keep winter matters front of mind with our special guest from Guelph city council.
This Thursday, January 22, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss:
They Killed a Nurse This Time. Last weekend, immigration and border enforcement agents upped the ante in Minneapolis by killing nurse Alex Pretti as he was coming to the aid of a woman being assaulted with pepper spray. The cold-blooded execution of Pretti in front of a dozen witnesses and their iPhones has further ratcheted up tensions on American streets as even unexpected sources like the NRA are calling out ICE’s Gestapo tactics. What happens next?
Bonhomme and Badness. The House of Commons returned this week… Well, some of them. Many MPs were snowed in and unable to make it Monday, while Mark Carney met Ontario Premier Doug Ford for a slice of pizza in Toronto and to hopefully talk him off the proverbial ledge over all this China trade talk. Meanwhile Pierre Poilievre faces the music this weekend in a leadership review and Avi Lewis looks more and more like the next NDP leader. We’ll catch with the latest from Ottawa.
Goller Back. Guelph City Counicl has a busy week ahead with the budget for the seven shared services and, just in time for all the complaining, a review of winter road maintenance. But what about those lingering questions about daytime shelter arrangements, not to mention the winter response on these very cold nights? Also, how much work does one councillor expect to get done in this election year? We will seek all these answers from Ward 2 rep Rodrigo Goller who is our returning guest this week.
Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.
