This week on Open Sources Guelph we get to the end... of this election. (Sorry, we always make that joke.) It's been a long, hard election covering two ridings, and in this final pre-election episode we will cover one person from a new party, one person from a still newish party, and one person that's been involved in politics for about 20 years. For the last time in 2025, let's hear from the candidates in this super-sized episode!

This week on Open Sources Guelph we get to the end... of this election. (Sorry, we always make that joke.) It's been a long, hard election covering two ridings, and in this final pre-election episode we will cover one person from a new party, one person from a still newish party, and one person that's been involved in politics for about 20 years. For the last time in 2025, let's hear from the candidates in this super-sized episode!
This Thursday, April 24, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss:
Michael Drop. If there's a lock this election, it just might be the return of Michael Chong to the House of Commons. His riding's boundaries might have changed, but there's no doubt that Chong is still a force to be reckoned with in Wellington County, so the question is whether he will be now be a force in South Guelph. Chong will join us to talk about why the country should take a chance on a Conservative government and why Wellington-Halton Hills North should stay the course with him as MP.
The Future Party is Now. A lot of emerging parties have been taken for a test drive in Guelph, and in this election it's the Canadian Future Party that is dipping their toes in the waters of Guelph. Yurii Yavorskyi is Guelph's CFP candidate, one of 19 across the country trying to make the case for a non-partisan, evidence-based approach to governance. In fact, right on their party platform is a message to the major parties to steal their ideas. Yavorskyi will join us to talk about why the CFP's ideas are worth stealing.
Three Times the People. Syl Carle is a successful businessman and former RCMP officer, and for the third time he's trying to become the People's Party MP for Wellington-Halton Hills (North now). So he must be pretty dedicated, right? Why don't we let Carle speak for himself. To wrap up our extensive election coverage, we will talk to Carle about what keeps him coming back to the PPC, how he intends to finally get past Michael Chong and why he wants to sit in the House of Commons for this riding.
Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.
