This week on Open Sources Guelph, we get back to basics, and by "basics" we mean our two favourite agitators. Yes, it's time again to talk about the two Ds, Donald and Doug. One is turning American democracy inside out and the other is turn provincial environmental policy upside down. And for the interview? We will get an education with our special guest, a teacher!
This Thursday, May 22, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss:

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we get back to basics, and by "basics" we mean our two favourite agitators. Yes, it's time again to talk about the two Ds, Donald and Doug. One is turning American democracy inside out and the other is turn provincial environmental policy upside down. And for the interview? We will get an education with our special guest, a teacher!
This Thursday, May 22, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss:
American Idiots. So much of Canadian news lately has been about going on in the U.S., but how are things going down in the White House with the Trump sequel? In a word: Badly. From cabinet ministers tripping over their own tongues in Congress to accepting a $40 million bribe from the Royal Family of Qatar, the Donald Trump administration is not covering itself in glory, and then, for the coup de grâce former President Joe Biden announced that he's got cancer. We'll catch up with the southern circus.
Endangered Specious. Bill 5 is currently before the Ontario Legislature, and it's the latest in a long line of bills brought by the Ford government that unites almost everyone against it. In this case, the bill uses the tariff war as justification to overrule environmental oversight and other planning measures in order to get mining and construction projects going. Does it sound like the Ontario government is trying to chop up the rules to help out their friends again? We will dig into that very question.
Teacher's Fret. Another issue on the provincial file is education, and things are getting so bad that that teachers' unions have started organizing. On Thursday night, there will be an education forum at Centre Wellington High School in Fergus to talk about the tremendous issues facing Ontario's schools, but before that we will be joined by one of the organizers. Andrew Aloe, Occasional Teacher President at Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario, will set the table for the forum and talk about the state of our schools.
Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.
