Open Sources Gulph #490 - October 24, 2024
from Guelph Politicast · host Adam A. Donaldson
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're keeping things provincial. We're going around the country to talk about the latest news coming out Queen's Park now that the government is back at work there, and then we're going to check out the new provincial governments who will take their seats in Fredericton and Victoria. For the interview this week, we're keeping things in Guelph where one of our local councillors is going to talk about gas! This Thursday, October 24, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Cheque Before You Choose. After a 20-week break, the Ontario legislature is back in session, and we've pretty much picking up where we left off: With everyone yelling! Premier Doug Ford is offering some pre-election cheques, threatening this sanctity of bike lanes, and is under siege from the opposition and the big cities mayors for not attacking all the real problems the province is facing, so just another day at Queen's Park, right? We'll talk about the back-and-forth and what it all means. Bi-Coastal, Bi-Results. This week, there were two different provincial elections and they had two very different results. In New Brunswick, the Liberals won decisively with what seemed like a repudiation of the divisive tactics of the incumbent PC premier. Meanwhile, in B.C., divisive tactics seemed to make a difference as the BC Conservatives pushed the NDP to a 46-45 split legislature with two recounts now underway. What do these two elections tell us about the current state of Canadian politics? Ahead of the Gas. You may be surprised to learn that Enbridge doesn't have to pay to install natural gas infrastructure on municipal property, but one person that knows it is Ward 5 City Councillor Leanne Caron, and she wants to change that. Caron is bringing a motion to Committee of the Whole in a couple of weeks to try and make some changes, and she will talk to us about that today, and she will also talk about the mayor's 2025 budget, and what to expect over the next few weeks as city council debates its merits. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.
