Open Sources Guelph #498 - December 19, 2024
from Guelph Politicast · host Adam A. Donaldson
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we were all but ready to take off for the holidays but they had to squeeze just a little bit more breaking new out of us. From Ottawa, there may be a change in government, or a change in prime minister, or a change in something, we don't know! We also don't know what happened with the Canada Post strike that was suddenly over this week, but we're going to find out about that too!! This Thursday, December 19, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Chrystia-Mas Comes Early. Just a normal Monday on Parliament Hill, it was the second last day of the fall sitting and the release of the Fall Economic Statement was all that was on the agenda. And then Chystia Freeland quit as finance minister and all hell broke loose! Almost everything else Monday, including a First Ministers' Meeting in Toronto, was blown off the front-page with the possibility that this was the end for Justin Trudeau, and as we go to air we can only imagine what's going down next. Is Trudeau getting canned before the holidays? Strike a Post! After over a month, workers for Canada Post went back to their jobs this week and not altogether willingly after the national labour board said that both sides were too far apart to make a deal in the short-term possible. What's been lost in the concern for the on-time arrival of parcels, government documents and holiday treats are the stakes of this strike, which is really nothing less than the future of Canada Post. This week, Remegius Cheeke, the president Guelph-based Canadian Union of Postal Workers Local 546, will remind us. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.
