This week on Open Sources Guelph, we mark Earth Week by discussing some of the news that happened on this planet. We will travel from Washington D.C. to Kiev where there's finally some good news in that war effort, but it's just too bad that there wasn't any good news when it comes to funding our regional transit system. Also, we will talk and act locally with one of our Guelph city councillors.
This Thursday, April 25, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss:
For a Few Dollars More... At long last, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to send much need financial aid to Ukraine. Now three years into their all-out war against Russia, the Ukrainians have been fighting with anything they can as they desperately await help from the States, aid that was mostly held up by Russia's new fair-haired girl, Marjorie Taylor Greene. With the bullets set to flow again, might 2024 be a breakthrough year for our Ukrainian allies?
Slowpiercer. Last week, Premier Doug Ford announced expansion plans for several GO Train lines, but not everyone gets improved transit equally. While the Government of Ontario increased frequency on the Kitchener Line, those additional trains don't make it all the way to Kitchener, which is one of many gaps in a system that's desperately awaiting more service for users. Why is Ontario still so far behind on regional transit?
The Shroud of Erin. Council is taking the week off, but it's been very, very busy lately on a variety of topics. One of those topics was a series of complaints about the mayor's social media posts, and out of that came a couple of motions about beefing up council's online policies. The author of those motions was Ward 1 Councillor Erin Caton, who will join us this week to talk about about the results, and they will also look ahead to new council business in May.
Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.
