Open Sources Guelph #560 - March 12, 2026

from Guelph Politicast · host Adam A. Donaldson

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're still thinking about war and peace. There's a lot of the former, which makes the latter seem rather fleeting, but if you're confused about what you're seeing on the news, or in your social media feed, imagine how the leaders of American and Canada's governments are feeling. We will catch up on the situation in Iran, and then we will catch up on the situation coming to Queen's Park with our special guest! This Thursday, March 12, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Trump's War. Nearly two weeks into the war he started, U.S. President Donald Trump is still struggling to explain why he launched a war with Iran, how long he will keep fighting it, and what he wants aside from "unconditional surrender". In the meantime, a new Supreme Leader has been chosen, the U.S. may have committed a war crime, and the region is sinking further into a conflict with no end in sight. We'll recap this week's insanity from the Middle East. Carney's Struggle. The confusion about the Iran conflict doesn't end in the halls of the White House or the Pentagon. In the House of Commons it seems like there's a great deal of uncertainty about what our own prime minister is thinking about the war, or Canada's role in it. After skipping out on an emergency House debate, and submitting at least three different takes on the subject, what exactly does Mark Carney think about the U.S. War in Iran? Schreiner's View. After nearly 100 days off, Ontario's elected representatives will return to Queen's Park a week from Monday and there will be a lot to talk about. From building new islands in the middle of Lake Ontario, to the changing face of education, to the still monumental challenges of housing and homelessness, there will be a lot to chew on and this week we will be joined by Guelph MPP and Green Party of Ontario leader Mike Schreiner to feast at the all-you-can-eat political buffet! Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.
