This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're still hungry after our turkey dinner was interrupted by some late breaking news of national importance. We will catch up with the still breaking news about Indo-Canadian relations in the wake of the expulsion of diplomats, and then we will talk about whether or not the current PM should take his curtain call. As for this week's guest, he will talk about doing the impossible!

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're still hungry after our turkey dinner was interrupted by some late breaking news of national importance. We will catch up with the still breaking news about Indo-Canadian relations in the wake of the expulsion of diplomats, and then we will talk about whether or not the current PM should take his curtain call. As for this week's guest, he will talk about doing the impossible!
This Thursday, October 17, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss:
The Six. The Government of Canada and the RCMP interrupted our Thanksgiving to announce that they were expelling six Indian diplomats and consular officials for a "targeted campaign against Canadian citizens by agents linked to the Government of India." While much of the corporate media has labelled this as a "row" or a "tiff", the allegations are damning, suggesting that India PM Narendra Modi has overseen a movement to intimidate Indian-Canadians who have spoken out against his government. Is Canada equal to this challenge?
Walk in the Snow Day? Before Monday's announcement, the biggest political news in Ottawa was a reportedly growing insurgent campaign to oust Justin Trudeau as Liberal leader before the next election. Trudeau, once the prodigal son, is now seen as the albatross around the neck of the party, which is about 20 points behind the Conservatives in polling. But can swapping Trudeau for someone (anyone) else solve the problem, and would there even be enough time to make that case?
When the Wal Fell. Last month, a Walmart warehouse in Mississauga did what was once thought impossible given the company we're talking about, they unionised. From an Amazon warehouse in Vancouver to a Starbucks in Waterloo, unions have been making big gains in workplaces many believed would never let their employees organise, but Walmart is the Everest for labour and they've finally made the summit. This week, Justin Gniposky from Unifor National will tells us how they did it, and what comes next.
Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.
