This weekend on Open Sources Guelph, we go from one mess to another. We will look at the political fight to make progress on fighting climate change, and then we will look at the fight to hold Donald Trump to account as he's arrested again in an entirely different jurisdiction. And finally, for the interview this week, we will talk to a person that's fighting the good fight on the drug poisoning crisis on our community ahead of a very special occasion.

This weekend on Open Sources Guelph, we go from one mess to another. We will look at the political fight to make progress on fighting climate change, and then we will look at the fight to hold Donald Trump to account as he's arrested again in an entirely different jurisdiction. And finally, for the interview this week, we will talk to a person that's fighting the good fight on the drug poisoning crisis on our community ahead of a very special occasion.
This Thursday, August 24, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss:
Crisis Management. It's been a rough summer, at least it has been if you've been even a little concerned about the climate crisis. From wild fires, to unbearable heat, to a hurricane flooding L.A. last weekend, the signs are all around us. So why is Alberta Premier Danielle Smith shutting down efforts to move to renewable energy, and why is Pierre Poilievre doing a coast-to-coast tour about cancelling the carbon tax? At least the federal Liberals want to get to net zero by 2035, but do they have any juice left to do it?
Go Fourth Old Man. While we were on our summer vacation, the Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis indicted former-President Donald Trump and 18 others for their alleged criminal conspiracy to steal the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. As Trump turns himself in for the fourth time, the rest of his competitors in the Republican presidential nomination race gathered for their first debate, which will almost certainly not do anything to de-throne Trump as the frontrunner. Will they ever learn?
Streets of Dire. August 31 marks Drug Poisoning Awareness Day, which used to be known as Overdose Awareness Day and the name change shows just how concerning the poisoning of the drug supply has become to those on the frontlines of the addiction crisis. This week, we will be joined by Jean Hopkins, who is the new manager of the Wellington Guelph Drug Strategy. She's going to tell us about how the drug poisoning crisis is affecting us locally, how the community is fighting to turn the tide, and what support local advocates need to ensure the safety of people using substances.
Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.
