Open Sources Guelph #558 - February 26, 2026
from Guelph Politicast · host Adam A. Donaldson
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're feasting on news as we leave much of Canada to its own devices for a week. In the United States the continued revelations of a certain dead criminal's emails are having global implications, and one of the places feeling the heat is inside Westminster, seat of power for the government of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland. As for that criminal's best friend who's now President of the United States, he's got problems too. This Thursday, February 26, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Jeffed Up. Revelations from the Epstein Files continue to reverberate around the world, from former prime ministers in Norway to advisors to the current prime minister in the U.K. to one of the co-founders of the Perimeter Institute up the road in Waterloo. But you know who hasn't been feeling the burn from these revelations? This week, we will talk about the latest insights from Jeffrey Epstein's emails and whether everyone mentioned in them will face accountability. State of the Furious. U.S. President Donald Trump delivered the State of the Union on Tuesday and essentially turned it into an awards show. It was about the only highlight in a week that included bad economic numbers, a Supreme Court verdict that went against him, and a potential war against Iran to obliterate the nuclear program that had already been obliterated. We're used to the proverbial fire hose when it comes to Trump news, but is the act finally wearing thin? Keirs of a Clown. One of the big takedowns of the Epstein Files is Peter Mandelson, former ambassador to the U.S. and an advisor to several U.K. governments, including the present one under Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Labour Party. The scandal has galvanized a growing malaise in a government that's not even two years old, and there are rising challenges from both within Labour and inside the rising racist Reform Party. Is it time to get out the lettuce for Keir? Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.
