This week on Open Sources Guelph, it's Leap Day! Recorded for posterity, episode #460 of this show is being released on Leap Day, February 29, 2024. This year February added an extra day, and on this show we're adding to the discourse! We're going to drop in on our friends at the Ontario Legislature, and then we're going to talk to a friend from the trans community to see how they're coping with current events.
This Thursday, February 29, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss:
Weak in the Fees. This week, the Government of Ontario announced that they're pumping $1.3 billion in extra funding into the province's universities and colleges, and this after Premier Doug Ford reportedly canned a decision to hike tuition fees by five per cent over three years. And yet, the biggest controversy of the week involves judicial appointments and accusations of patronage. We'll catch up with all the fun at Queen's Park.
The Johnstone of Destiny. Canada’s queer and trans communities are feeling besieged lately with many provincial governments trying to legislate parental rights and/or are openly discriminating against LGBTQ+ people. This week, we're joined by Fae Johnstone, a trans activist and the executive director of the Society for Queer Momentum, who's going to tell us about how they maintain hope that we’re still on the progressive road to equality.
Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.
