This week on Open Sources Guelph we will get back to normal, or the close proximity of what he consider normal. In the interview, we will play part two of our exit interview with current Guelph Mayor Cam Guthrie, but in the first half we will try and catch up with some of the news. We’re going to talk about the political earthquake that just happened in B.C. and then we’re going to talk about the coming potential earthquake coming to politics south of the border. Maybe.
This Thursday, October 29, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss:
Ahead By a Century. While people in Ontario have been focused on local politics, British Columbia Premier David Eby called a snap election, and it ended up snapping in his face! For the first time in nearly a century, the B.C. Conservatives are forming government after falling one-seat short of tying the NDP in 2024 and given some of the controversies around the party, it’s going to be anyone’s guess about what’s coming in the next four years. What can we take away from Eby’s hubris?
Ass Man. There’s an election still ongoing for another week in the United States, the midterms, and the only question anyone is thinking is “how badly are the Republicans going to lose?” Donald Trump has been doing his part, ogling some of the male candidates during his abominable rallies, but he doesn’t seem to have a lot to offer aside from election interference and increasingly apparent dementia symptoms. At long last, is this the beginning of the end of MAGA?
Wham, Bam, Thank You Cam! Guelph now officially has a new mayor in the queue and everyone’s now looking to the future. We’re still looking back though, because there’s still some things to think about when it comes to the last 12 years of Mayor Cam Guthrie’s leadership at city hall. In this second part of his last interview as mayor, Guthrie will tell us about the hard lessons learned, the things he wishes he could have done differently, and what he’s planning next outside of politics.
Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.
