This week on Open Sources Guelph, it's Blew Thursday. You've heard of Blue Monday, the saddest day of the year, well this is the dumbest day of the year, and we're talking about the people who blew it, or are blowing it. First, the Quebec premier once thought invincible has quit, and then our PM is shaking and baking again on the world stage but not necessarily to the satisfaction of his constituents. For the interview, an old friend with housing concerns. This Thursday, January 22, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Should He Stay or Should He Legault Now. Quebec Premier and Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) leader François Legault announced suddenly last week that he was quitting. He's the second provincial leader to step down in the last couple of months, and with less than a year till the next provincial election, but Legault has long had the goal of trying to be the first Quebec premier to get more than two majority governments in a row in nearly 70 years. So what went wrong? Mark Carney Vs The World Part 3. Prime Minister Mark Carney is back collecting Air Miles and in the last week he's made stops in China and the United Arab Emirates, where he announced new trade deals, and then he pulled up to the World Economic Forum in Davos where he brought down the house with a speech declaring that "The old order is not coming back." Tough talk from Carney, and the Davos crowd ate it up, but does this do anything for Canadians? The Realtor World. So housing is expensive in Canada. This is known, but will 2026 be the year that we finally get back to something resembling affordability? Some people think so, but friend of the show David-Alexandre Brassard, chief economist of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada, is not so sure, and he joins us this week to talk about his thoughts about Canada's housing market and to remind us why it's so much more complicated than we think it is. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.

On this week’s episode of More Than Money, Dave Popowich and Leanna Wachniak look at how retirement is changing as Canada’s senior population grows, and why more retirees may choose (or need) to keep working, whether part-time, full-time, or through volunteering. Next they’re joined by Jessica O’Reilly, Relationship Expert, HappierCouples.com to talk about how to keep your romance alive in retirement. Navigating shifting identity, less personal space, and changing caregiving roles and why retirement can flip expectations for couples. Plus, Retail Analyst and Author Bruce Winder breaks down points programs like Air Miles and PC Optimum: are they still delivering real value, or are they getting harder to use? To close out the show, Leanna Wachniak and Rob Gerrie break down what the March 2, 2026 RRSP deadline for the 2025 tax year really means, and what you should have in place before making a last-minute contribution decision.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we enter the new year like we left the old year: chaotically. For this first episode of the year, we will catch you up with all the news you might have missed either intentionally or on purpose during the holidays, and split into three distinct areas. We will tackle the latest drama south of the border, the travel plans of Canada's prime minister, and whatever the heck in going on with the leader of Ontario. This Thursday, January 8, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Don-roe They Didn't! What a way to start the second year of his second term! U.S. military forces dropped into Venezuela in the dead of night, and kidnapped Nicolás Maduro and his wife and arrested them. There's no doubt that Maduro is, to borrow a phase, a bad hombre, but why him and why now? From the direction to seize Venezuela's oil wealth to renewed speculation about regime change in Cuba, we'll talk about Donald Trump's latest mad man move. Mark Carney Vs. The World (2026 Edition). New year, more Air Miles. In this first week of 2026 Prime Minister Mark Carney went to Europe to stand with Ukraine and Greenland as they face two very different aggressors, and next week he heads to China to further the project of selling Canada to the world. Carney's globetrotting comes as his old rival Chrystia Freeland takes a job with Ukraine and new questions about ensuring Canadian sovereignty arise, so how will Carney respond? The Doug Phone. Technically, the Ontario government will continue to be on winter break until sometime around the beginning of spring. As school board trustees wait for the other shoe to drop, as conservation authorities face a loss of autonomy, and as people continue to be concerned about the high cost of living, Doug Ford is focused on what's important: cancelling Crown Royal and protecting the use of his private phone for government business. We'll catch up with what Doug's been up to. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.

In this episode of The Entrepreneur Experiment, Gary Fox welcomes back Matthew Coffey, co-founder of Squid, Ireland and the UK's largest local loyalty network with 550,000+ users and nearly 2,000 independent businesses. What began as a simple tap-for-coffee reward app has evolved into a powerful loyalty and payments infrastructure - and now Squid has launched Wave, a universal points currency described as “air miles for the high street.” You can now earn points in one brand and redeem them in another, all by linking your everyday spending cards. Matthew breaks down how Squid integrated with global giants like Square, raised over €10 million, and is now preparing to expand Wave across Europe as a new rewards-powered payment rail. He also shares the founder lessons he's learned, from communication to fundraising to scaling fast without losing trust and integrity. If you're curious about loyalty, fintech, payments, or the realities of scaling a startup into a European network, this episode is essential listening. Show Notes In this episode, Gary chats with Matthew about: How Squid grew from free coffee stamps to 550,000+ users and almost 2,000 independent businesses. Why Matthew & Katie focused on coffee shops to build a two-sided network from scratch. Introducing Wave — “air miles for the high street” where you earn across brands automatically. How card-linking with Visa/Mastercard/Amex enables one-touch loyalty. The impact of integrating with Square to give independents big-brand loyalty and data tools. The journey from early-stage startup to raising over €10m, including a €1.7m+ crowdfunding round. The North Star metric Squid tracks: the total free product given back to users. Squid's two-step scaling playbook for Europe: launch loyalty locally, then layer Wave on top. Why 2026 will be the “year of payments” as Squid builds a rewards-driven payment rail. Matthew's biggest founder lessons: communicate better, expand earlier, trust technology, and be relentless.

The provincial government is launching a $6-million program to encourage people to buy local. It's called Nova Scotia Loyal, and it's already facing sharp criticism.

Time is running out to keep the climate goals set out in the Paris Agreement within reach. Wealthy countries have introduced new industrial and green trade policy measures, but there are concerns that some of these are having adverse effects – hitting countries that have contributed the least to the climate crisis the hardest.This episode examines the concept of the ‘green squeeze' – the notion that climate-related trade policies are negatively impacting low-income countries, unfairly putting the burden of adjustment on them. We ask what the ‘green squeeze' means, both at a broader policy level and on the ground for producers having to adapt to these new trade measures.What can be done to help exporting countries navigate such measures? Would the Villars Framework enable a more equitable way forward?At a time when geopolitical tensions are running high and countries are fighting for leadership on green technology, guests discuss what action is needed to drive fair and sustainable progress on green trade.GuestsSara Pantuliano, Chief Executive, ODIFaizel Ismail, Director of the Nelson Mandela School of Public Governance, University of Cape TownJan Yves Remy, Director of the Shridath Ramphal Centre for International Trade Law, Policy and Services (the SRC), University of the West IndiesJodie Keane, Senior Research Fellow, ODIRelated resourcesNew EU trade rules could put poor countries in a billion dollar ‘green squeeze' (ODI blog)The ‘green squeeze': an explainer (ODI paper)Navigating green trade measures: avoiding a “green squeeze” (ODI event video)Leading experts gather at ODI to reimagine global trade for a sustainable future (ODI statement)COP28 side event | Enabling a “green seize” of new trade opportunities for LDCs: learning from the Covid-19 response to address the climate emergency (ODI event video)Avoiding a “green squeeze” and advancing new trade opportunities for LDCs (ODI event video)Africa's green trade opportunities: policy insights for aligning trade and climate action (ODI blog and event video)Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanisms: clarity needed on support for adjustment (ODI blog)Air Miles 2.0?

Thirty years ago, AIR MILES® launched its Reward Program, essentially inventing the coalition loyalty concept. Over the course of three decades, the Canadian program has pulled together over 300 brands and thousands of retailers and service locations, offering collectors — the program's members — a massive amount of choice encompassing everyday and aspirational products, travel options, events, and attractions. Today, AIR MILES is making a resurgence as brands come together to share customer relationships, data and insight, and the power of the network. It's a perfect time to re-energize the AIR MILES brand, making the most of its assets, including its nearly 10 million collector base, a mountain of data, and most importantly, the value the program brings to Canadians.  Uniting a coalition of brands together under the auspices of AIR MILES created a powerful program not only because of how collectors can earn rewards points but also because of how they can be used. There's real power in giving people more choices and allowing them to earn and redeem wherever they shop.  Mark Johnson, CEO of Loyalty360, spoke with Shawn Stewart, President of AIR MILES, about the recent acquisition by BMO Financial Group (BMO), changing strategies to better serve the brands utilizing the program, and leveraging data to increase personalization.
