Open Sources Guelph #478 - July 18, 2024

from Guelph Politicast · host Adam A. Donaldson

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it was a rough one. Looking south of the border these days is a white knuckle ride through all your fears about the future, and it's so bad that we have to dedicate the whole first half of our show to talk about American politics. We will then look closer to home and talk to a member of our local city council about a concern that all of us have these days. You know what we're talking about. This Thursday, July 18, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: This is America. It's been a wild week in American politics, and that's really saying something in the year of Our Lord 2024 A.D. On the weekend, there was an attempted assassination of Donald Trump, the Republic National Convention began, MAGA-stan J.D. Vance was named Trump's VP nominee, Elon Musk announced he's giving a Trump PAC $45 million a month, and a pro-Trump judge dismissed his classified documents case. Oh, and the Dems are still in disarray. We'll wrap our heads around this in a super-sized news segment. Klassen Act. This week at Guelph city council, there was a new report about the Guelph Tiny Homes Coalition project. We've now entered the second half of the year, so winter is closer than it was a few months ago when this project first came up, and the pressure is on to get something going. One of the people feeling that pressure is Ward 2 Councillor Carly Klassen, who will join us this week to talk about her thinking on the matter, the ongoing effort at city hall to fight homelessness, and how she's co-ordinating between council and the concerns of Downtown Guelph people. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.
