This week on Open Sources Guelph we get back to normal. No more election talk for at least a year now. Well, maybe a bit more election talk. We will talk about everything we didn't know on election night and what it means, and then we will get back into the normal work of proctoring developments at the Ontario government and Guelph city council, and on the subject of the latter, we have a guest for that.

This week on Open Sources Guelph we get back to normal. No more election talk for at least a year now. Well, maybe a bit more election talk. We will talk about everything we didn't know on election night and what it means, and then we will get back into the normal work of proctoring developments at the Ontario government and Guelph city council, and on the subject of the latter, we have a guest for that.
This Thursday, May 1, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss:
Carney Me Home (aka: It's Poili-over!). The magic number is 169. That is the number of seats that the Liberals have as they form a new minority government under Mark Carney, seen above celebrating (?) with Down With Webster. There was considerable less celebration at Conservative HQ where leader Pierre Poilievre isn't out yet, even though he's out of his seat, unlike Jagmeet Singh who's definitely out. We will wrap up the 2025 Canadian election and start looking ahead to what comes next.
Drama Queen's. While we've been focused on the federal election, the Ontario government finally got back to legislating for the first time since early-December. So how's it been going? Well, they've announced that they're going to be forcing financial oversight on some school boards, they're tearing up environmental regulations in the name of resource extraction, and they've announced more tough on crime measures. We'll catch up on everything you didn't get a chance to know about at Queen's Park.
Allt-ernative Media. We're also going to play catch up with Guelph city council, where there is now a vacancy after Dominique O'Rourke won the Guelph seat in the House of Commons. Her colleagues at city hall meanwhile are dealing with a whole slate of issues from housing, to water supply, to relations with Guelph's disabled community. There's a lot of ground to cover after our month-long break from council business, and to help us get caught up we will lean on old friend and Ward 3 City Councillor Phil Allt.
Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.
