This week on Open Sources Guelph, we've got to get serious for bit. Well, more serious. As we were enjoying the Thanksgiving long weekend, there was no rest for the people in Israel and the Gaza Strip and now a full-scale war seems to be inevitable. In lighter news though, there's more dysfunction in the Republic Party for us to laugh at, and for the interview this week, we'll head back up Highway #7 to visit another provincial election candidate.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we've got to get serious for bit. Well, more serious. As we were enjoying the Thanksgiving long weekend, there was no rest for the people in Israel and the Gaza Strip and now a full-scale war seems to be inevitable. In lighter news though, there's more dysfunction in the Republic Party for us to laugh at, and for the interview this week, we'll head back up Highway #7 to visit another provincial election candidate.
This Thursday, October 12, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss:
War. A surprise attack on the southern border between Israel and Gaza has sparked some of the worst violence in the region for nearly a decade. Hamas' brutality has been on display, rocket fire has been exchanged and hostages have been taken as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seems to be preparing for an all-out invasion of the Strip in order to root out Hamas. But how many innocent Palestinians and Israelis still have to die? We'll talk about the war, and the political posturing in this country.
Not My Kevin. After having the audacity to work with the opposition party to keep the government open, Rep. Kevin McCarthy is now the former Speaker of the U.S. House. You may recall that it took McCarthy 15 tries to secure the job in January, so his grasp was always tenuous, but far-right members of the GOP seem to think that "My Kevin" is not as ideological as a modern Trump-loving Republican is supposed to be. So what happens next, and who takes over this important and influential role in U.S. politics?
You Only Live Steiss. It might be kind of sticky in Kitchener City Hall these days because two city councillors and one member of staff are all running in the future Kitchener-Centre by-election. This week, we're being joined by the staff member. Kelly Steiss is the Liberal candidate, and she wants to use her two decades of experience working for the City to try and find solutions to healthcare, housing and affordability, but can a candidate of the leaderless Liberals pick up a seat from the NDP and an active Green Party campaign effort? Steiss will answer that and other questions.
Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.
