This week, Open Sources Guelph will continue our
election interview series by doing a twofer. We will have back-to-back
interviews with two of the local candidates running to represent Guelph
on Parliament Hill for the next four years, and they are both candidates
who may not get a lot of air time due to the fact that they're not
running for one of the four major parties. If you're tired of politics
as usual, and are maybe looking for new voices in this campaign, then
this is the show...

This
Thursday, September 17, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson
will talk with Communist Party candidate Tristan Dineen, and Libertarian
candidate Alex Fekri.
There's always a Communist Party candidate
in the election cycle in Guelph, which is understandable since the
Communist Party of Canada was started in what was then a rural barn in
May 1921 right here in the Royal City. Tristan Dineen is taking up the
flag this time, balancing campaigning, school, and being chief electoral
officer of the Central Student Association. Dineen's already made some
waves this campaign, demanding equal time for all candidates at last
week's forum on electoral reform hosted by Fair Vote Guelph. We'll ask
Dineen about those struggles, and about the bizarre resurgence of
anti-communist fervour in addition to discussion about his platform and
his ambitions for this election.
In the second half, we'll welcome
Alex Fekri, who has succeeded Erin farmer Philip Bender as the
Libertarian candidate in Guelph. Fekri is a student at the University of
Guelph, and a life-long Guelphite. He's been a community volunteer for
many years and is taking his first stab at political action representing
the Libertarians here in Guelph. What is a Libertarian? We'll ask Fekri
to define his party and discuss their platform, as well as talk about
the reasons he got involved in politics, and what he hopes to accomplish
this campaign.
Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.
