It’s been four weeks since Doug Ford asked the Lieutenant-Governor to dissolve the legislature and it really hasn’t felt like anything has changed. Now, we will go to the polls on Thursday to decide who will form the provincial government for the next four years and despite all the issues, it feels like it’s still going to be the people who’ve run it for the last seven years. So what have we missed this election? Continue reading “GUELPH POLITICAST #459 – This Slushy Election (feat. Scotty Hertz)”

GUELPH POLITICAST #439 – Guelph Stuff (feat. Scotty Hertz)
Here, at the end of October, there’s a lot going on from new budgets to potential strikes to changes to our recycling, so it seems like a good time to pause and talk about some recent events before the news gets even crazier.

GUELPH POLITICAST #354 – 2022 Year in Review

GUELPH POLITICAST #124 – Debate Debrief with Scotty Hertz
You know you have a packed house when you actually have to make the house bigger! That’s what happened last Thursday at the All Candidates Debate hosted by the Guelph Wellington Coalition for Social Justice. There’s been a lot of arm chair quarterbacking from social media pundits, but now it’s time for the semi-amateur official community radio pundits to have their say.
