Open Sources Guelph #484 - September 12, 2024
from Guelph Politicast · host Adam A. Donaldson
This week on Open Sources Guelph there's discord, and so soon in the school year! If you had the NDP 86'ing there formal agreement with the Liberals on you 2024 Bingo Card, we've got good news, but if you're a right-wing YouTuber with some bank then we've probably got some bad news for you. If you're a fan of dedicated public servants though we've got good news because we're talking to one of them in the back half of the show. This Thursday, September 12, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: On a Singh and a Prayer. Last week, Jagmeet Singh announced that the NDP were abandoning the confidence and supply agreement with the governing Liberals, which immediately sprang to mind thoughts of an election. Singh says no, but now everyone wants to know what the point of quitting the deal was if we're not going to the polls anytime soon. Meanwhile, Justin Trudeau's caucus is meeting this week hoping for some good news before Parliament begins. Is there any? From Russia With Cash. The U.S. Department of Justice last week unsealed indictments involving a Russian influence campaign that included YouTubers like Tim Pool, Benny Johnson and Dave Rubin all being paid thousands of dollars to spread disinformation. And yes, there is a Canadian connection because Tenet Media, the company at the centre of the scheme, is co-owned by Lauren Chen, who loves to be seen with Conservative politicians in Canada. Should we concerned about whose influencing Canada's YouTubers? Mike Check. While the Liberals, the Conservatives and the NDP all slug it out to decide who's going to pull the plug on the 44th Parliament, one of the House's only two Green Party members is thinking about business as usual. Kitchener-Cente MP Mike Morrice joins us again this week to talk about fighting for more housing, getting real funding for the new Canadian Disability Benefit, and the environmental stakes of the coming election, whenever it is. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.
