This week on Open Sources Guelph, many storylines seem to be wrapping up. In the Middle East, there's a hope for peace after more than a month of war. In Ontario, the third place party is about to find their new number one. Here in Guelph, it's almost time to pass a new budget, but one city councillor is going to have the last word before the time comes. Join us as we mark American Thanksgiving with some largely Canadian affairs, aka: Just another Thursday on the radio.
This Thursday, November 23, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss:
Deal Life. Nearly 50 days after a terrorist attack just outside the southern border of Gaza, Israel and Hamas have reached an agreement, brokered by Qatar and supported by the United States, to pause the fighting for four days and release 50 of the over 240 prisoners currently in Hamas custody. It's progress. Although Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu has promised that the war isn't over, many in the international community are seeing this as a sign of hope. So is this the good sign we're all hoping it is?
Bonnie Ways? The Ontario Liberal Leadership race wraps up next weekend. There are still four candidates in the race, but it's largely believed that Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie will be the winner by the time all the votes are counted. So then what? Some Liberals think Crombie leans too much to the right for the red team, and it seems like Doug Ford is on the rebound from the summer lows of the Greenbelt scandal, so are the Liberals close to seizing the moment, or does this even matter?
Quatro Quandaries. This time next week, Guelph City Council will have passed the 2024-2027 multiyear budget, so on this week's show we're going to give the last word to Ward 4 (aka: The Quatro) Councillor Linda Busuttil. She's going to talk about some of the things she's struggling to balance heading into next week's budget meeting, including the ongoing difficulty balancing city needs and affordability, and she will also talk about the mayor's proposed motion to bar encampments from downtown.
Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.
