This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're still recovering from eclipse fever! More earth-bound matters are our concern this episode, and that means talking another trip to the Middle East to talk about the war inside Gaza, but it also means acknowledging that we've got defence problems closer to home too. In the back half of the show, our concern is going to be about work, and the people coming here to work.
This Thursday, April 11, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss:
180 Days. It's now been a little over six months since Hamas fighters launched a terrible terror attack on Israel, but in that time any sympathy seems to have faded due to Benjamin Netanyahu's disproportionate counteroffensive. Even U.S. President Joe Biden seems ready to put conditions on aid as sources inside the Israeli government says the date for the invasion of Rafah has been set. So what now?
The Two Per Cent Solution. The Government of Canada this week announced billions in new defence spending, but despite that we will still fall short of the NATO pledge to dedicate two per cent of our GDP to the cause of our own security. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tried to play it cool and say that more could be coming, but the pressure is on for Canada to carry it's weight in the Alliance. Is this enough?
Migrants at Work. With the planting season here, more migrant workers will be arriving in surrounding communities to help with the busy and strenuous tasks that come with farming. But there's more than one type of migrant worker, and they are facing all kinds of challenges as they're going about their jobs and to help us sort all that out, we will be joined by Kit Andres from the Migrant Workers Alliance for Change.
Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.
