This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're eating news leftovers. First, we will catch up with the latest develops in Gaza where there's now a precarious peace, and we will also talk about the early phase of the race to find a new leader for a federal party. For the interview, we engage in another annual fall tradition, the late return to Queen's Park for another truncated sitting that solves none of our problems.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're eating news leftovers. First, we will catch up with the latest develops in Gaza where there's now a precarious peace, and we will also talk about the early phase of the race to find a new leader for a federal party. For the interview, we engage in another annual fall tradition, the late return to Queen's Park for another truncated sitting that solves none of our problems.
This Thursday, October 16, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss:
Peace at Last? A little over two years after the war began, peace came to Gaza this weekend as the last living hostages were returned to Israel, and humanitarian aid finally started flowing into the Strip. U.S. President Donald Trump took a victory lap in Egypt on Monday, and many world leaders joined him, but this is just the beginning of a process, not the end. What happens now to rebuild Gaza? Is there still a path to a two-state solution? And can Israel rehabilitate its global image?
Orange on a New Track. The federal NDP leadership race is now underway, and there are five declared candidates so far including a sitting MP, a city councillor from B.C., a scion of the party, a labour activist, and a regenerative farmer. The question before all of the candidates is whether they have the right mix of talent, policy and organizing to bring the party back from the political wilderness, and on the brink of the first debate and the six-month countdown to the convention, we will consider the odds.
Clancy That. Next week, the Ontario Legislature will sit for the first time since the beginning of June and what can we expect? The passage of Bill 33 and the changes to oversight of school boards and a new bill eliminating all speed enforcement cameras in the province. What is not on the agenda? New ways to tackle homelessness, any response to the climate crisis, and a plan to tackle youth unemployment. Kitchener Centre MPP and Deputy leader of the Green Party Aislinn Clancy will talk about her ideas for those topics and how she's ready to help set the agenda.
Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.
