Open Sources Guelph #508 - March 6, 2025
from Guelph Politicast · host Adam A. Donaldson
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're coming down from election fever, and maybe get ready to catch it once again...(?) Yes, the time has come for a new Liberal leader to be selected, which is its own drama, but nothing compared to the drama in the White House, which is exactly how its main occupant likes it (and the rest of us hate). For the interview this week, we've got a two-for-one special! This Thursday, March 6, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Garbage Disp-Oval. There's been no doubt that U.S. President Donald Trump is hostile to continued support for Ukraine in its war against Russia, but even by those standards what happened in the Oval Office last Friday was a disaster. A gathering in the U.K. on the weekend sought to buttress the rest of NATO in supporting Volodymyr Zelenskyy, but the bigger question is whether we can any longer be called the "Leader of the Free World". Carney of Won? At the end of this weekend, we will know who the new Liberal leader and Prime Minister of Canada will be. The safe money now is on Mark Carney, the former head of the Bank of Canada, and it certainly seems like the Conservative Party sees him as the prime minister in waiting, but what are Carney's chances really, and is Canada's favourite banker primed for an upset this Sunday? The Green Book. The Green Party of Ontario had one goal in last week's provincial election: Win more seats. That didn't work out, but party members and supporters can't say it was a total loss. For the first time in Open Sources history, we are hosting an entire party caucus from the Ontario legislature - Mike Schreiner and Aislinn Clancy - who will join us to talk about the election results, the lessons learned and what comes next. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.
