This week on Open Sources Guelph, we celebrate old times, and new times. From the past, there's someone we kind of forgot about but who wants to be remembered again, which could also apply to Parliament Hill where the leader of the opposition is back in the House and ready to deliver stinging rebukes to a PM under pressure. More locally, we will talk to one of Guelph city's councillors about some recent big decisions.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we celebrate old times, and new times. From the past, there's someone we kind of forgot about but who wants to be remembered again, which could also apply to Parliament Hill where the leader of the opposition is back in the House and ready to deliver stinging rebukes to a PM under pressure. More locally, we will talk to one of Guelph city's councillors about some recent big decisions.
This Thursday, September 11, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss:
Fall Back. Next week, MPs from across Canada will return to Ottawa for the fall sitting of the House of Commons. This time, Pierre Poilievre will be able to lead Question Period and look Prime Minister Mark Carney in the eye. But while the new PM might be feeling the heat, he's still on that proverbial honeymoon even as he looks down the barrel of mixed expectations, budget austerity and a tricky economic picture. What can we expect from the feds this fall ?
What's the Story, Morning Tory? Just when you thought it was safe to get into Toronto politics, John Tory is back! Though he left office in disgrace nearly three years ago, the former mayor is thinking about re-writing the end of his political career by throwing his hat in the ring again. But more than beating his own bad press, Tory's got to beat the current mayor, Olivia Chow, who has some pretty steady support. Will 2026 be a mayoral rematch in the 6ix?
Dan The Builder. It's been a busy week at city council, even more than usual. There were two different meetings and they each dealt with massive construction projects featuring hundreds of new housing units and other mixed-use buildings. One of those projects is in Ward 1, and by sheer coincidence we will be joined by Ward 1 City Councillor Dan Gibson who will talk about the pressures on him and and his colleagues while making these big decisions and what to expect at council throughout the fall.
Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.
