Ontario and Diageo have cut a deal to keep Crown Royal on LCBO shelves, but how much of the money is actually going to those affected by the liquor maker's decision to close its plant? Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath discuss why everyone else seems to be benefiting at Amherstburg's expense. Big changes are coming to how Ontario funds post-secondary education, including major changes to the Ontario Student Assistance Program. Steve and John Michael discuss why students are in an uproar, and how a comment from the premier about baskets isn't helping. The fate of Ontario's school trustees looks grim, and a letter from the Waterloo Region District School Board is unlikely to move the needle. Steve and JMM discuss how legislating this elected position out of existence could come with huge consequences.

Fully & Completely: ReduxEpisode 102 — Up To Here (1989)A presentation of The Tragically Hip Podcast SeriesHosted by jD and Greg LeGrosIf Episode 101 was the band trying to get hired, Up To Here is the band showing up like: we're already the headliners, you just don't know it yet.Released in September 1989, The Tragically Hip's first full-length LP is the moment where the sweat and swagger of the EP turns into something sturdier — a vibe, a sound, an identity. This is the record that made the country start paying attention in a different way. Not “hey, that bar band is pretty good,” but “oh… this is our band.”We set the scene: Mulroney still running the country, the first Grey Cup at the SkyDome (and yes, the Rough Riders/Roughriders nonsense is as chaotic as it sounds), and a pop-heavy musical world where Repeat Offender, Milli Vanilli, Paula Abdul, and even Dr. Feelgood are moving units like it's a national sport. Meanwhile, the underground is brewing — Sonic Youth, the weirdos starting to kick the door open — and out of Kingston comes this bluesy, barroom, don't-overthink-it-just-turn-it-up record that somehow becomes a diamond-certified Canadian classic.We talk about why Up To Here connects with everybody — the Queens Pub crowd, the farm-town beer crowd, the “I only know four Hip songs but I know them perfectly” crowd — and how certain tracks became bigger than the band itself. There's a whole New Orleans is Sinking tangent involving Crown Royal, Lake Ontario, and one of the most wholesome cross-cultural Canadian moments imaginable.This album is loaded. Side A is basically a greatest hits package. But we also dig into the deeper stuff: the early emergence of Gord's strange, slippery cadence; the way the band's confidence jumps from the EP to this like it got shot out of a cannon; and the idea that every Hip album has at least one track that quietly points at what comes next.Up To Here is where the lesson plan gets real.In This EpisodeThe cultural and musical landscape of 1989 (Mulroney, pop domination, the underground brewing)Why Up To Here hit everywhere in Canada — bars, cottages, dorms, and car stereosThe leap in identity from the EP to a full-on signature sound“New Orleans is Sinking” as a national anthem (and as a live-performance launchpad)Gord Downie's early “how-the-hell-do-you-sing-that” cadence taking shape (“38 Years Old”)The record's “top-heavy” track sequencing — and why it worksDeep-cut advocacy hour: “Every Time You Go” gets its flowersThe “DNA track” theory: one song per album that hints at the next recordListener callout: What's your Up To Here moment?Album DiscussedUp To Here (1989)Produced by Don SmithA barroom-recorded, road-tested, diamond-certified cornerstone.Time Capsule TracksjD's pick: 38 Years OldGreg's pick: OpiatedWhat's NextNext week, we keep moving — and you can already feel the band getting sharper, stranger, and more themselves. The evolution is in motion.Listen & SubscribeFully & Completely: Redux is available wherever you get your podcasts.
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.
Maverick whiskey maker Chip Tate is back after a sabbatical following his acrimonious departure from Balcones Distilling. Now the master distiller for innovation with Foley Family Wines & Spirits, Tate has quietly been working on his first new whiskies in nearly 11 years under the company's Ampersand Spirits label. Dubbed Malus, Vinea, and Opimus, each one is a unique blend that challenges whiskey lovers with new flavors, and they fit perfectly with Tate's unique approach to making whiskey. Chip Tate joins us on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Ontario Premier Doug Ford is planning to make good on his threat to pull the best-selling Canadian Whisky off store shelves if Diageo closes its Crown Royal plant in his province. We'll also have the latest on the Uncle Nearest receivership and a new report showing a decline in Irish whiskey exports in 2025.

Send us a textA birthday hangout turns into a full-on variety show: we kick off with shots and shout-outs, then sprint straight into the Labubu craze and the wild trend of tattooing the toy itself. The hype machine gets a reality check as we break down why collectibles blow up—celebrity co-signs, K-pop adjacency, mystery variants, and the thrill of not knowing what you'll get. From there, we tumble into pop-chart surprises (Baby Shark supremacy, Despacito endurance) and ask why certain songs conquer the world with choreography, repetition, and rhythm that cut across languages.Food heads get fed with hibachi talk, Kiran light, and an unexpected case for Crown Royal chocolate—plus the difference between a “vibe” dinner and a clutch takeout. Then comes a fiery Southern culture segment: Alabama and Mississippi pride meets Texas side-eye, MLK Day politics in Arizona's past, and the way stereotypes stick until someone tells the fuller story. Sports heads get their fix too, with NFL loyalties tested, fantasy heartbreak relived, and the kind of friendly slander that keeps group chats alive.Midway, we open the door on something more intimate: the difference between love and lust, how confidence changes chemistry, and the petty things people do post-breakup (or refuse to). It's raw, funny, and more honest than anyone planned. We pivot to strength and training with BYL shoutouts, celebrating women who lift heavy and giving beginners a nudge to start where they are. And because it's that season, the table explodes over holiday movies: Elf vs Die Hard, Home Alone nostalgia, Friday After Next as an all-timer, and the perennial “does it count as Christmas if it only happens at Christmas?” loophole.Pull up a chair, pour something good, and argue with us in your head.

In this powerful new episode of The Food Professor Podcast, presented by Caddle, co-hosts Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois dissect the forces shaping Canada's food and agriculture economy—from farmland bubbles and provincial politics to the latest retail coffee price increases.The show opens with Michael's visit to Prince Edward County, where he talks about reconnecting with past guest Dan Sullivan of Rosehall Run Vineyards and celebrates the growing influence of culinary innovator and recent guest Charlotte Langley, whose tinned-seafood brand Nice Cans is redefining Canadian bespoke tinned fish dining. Sylvain weighs in on stalled interprovincial trade and Premier Doug Ford's ongoing feud with Crown Royal and Diageo, exploring the politics of booze, bans, and consumer choice - and his support of ice cream maker Chapman's. The hosts also spotlight the wild-blueberry disaster in Atlantic Canada, where drought and fires have slashed yields by up to 70%, threatening regional processors and exports.Then the conversation shifts to a fascinating—and controversial—guest: Trent Klarenbach, BSA AgEc PAg, Special Crops & Grain Marketing Analyst and Founder of Klarenbach Research. A former Saskatchewan farmer turned analyst, Trent explains how he uses technical analysis—tools typically reserved for stock markets—to assess farmland value. His research suggests land in Saskatchewan and Alberta may be overbought, echoing warning signs that preceded the dramatic farmland correction of the 1980s.Trent describes how investor psychology and market cycles shape agriculture just as they do equities, applying RSI and Elliott Wave patterns to farmland data. He details his own journey through farming's booms and busts, his motivation for building a subscription-based insights service, and the mixed reactions he's received from farmers, lenders, and ag-finance professionals. For listeners seeking deeper understanding of the economics—and emotion—behind land ownership, his approach reframes how to think about farm equity and risk.The episode wraps with Michael and Sylvain analyzing temporary-foreign-worker fines, Tim Hortons' price move and Starbucks store closures, and Donald Trump's revived talk of U.S. dairy access. They close on a high note—what soaring bullion signals about global uncertainty and food-price volatility.Website: https://www.klarenbach.ca/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@KlarenbachResearchPodcast:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL28YhqW-kvxkfu1I6xFdtaa5BN1GVoHxa&si=_iVqyKVYCkfm6S1m The Food Professor #podcast is presented by Caddle.

As we continue our series leading up to the 20th anniversary of WhiskyCast in November, it's important to celebrate the whisky legends who are still with us while they're still around to receive our recognition. Jim McEwan retired from public life a couple of years ago after nearly 58 years in the whisky business, and he's always been one of our favorite interview subjects. This week, we're featuring Mark Gillespie's interview with Jim from May 25, 2013, just as Jim was about to celebrate his 50th anniversary with a Feis Ile celebration at Bruichladdich. In the news, Diageo plans to close a Crown Royal bottling plant in Ontario, Independent Stave is laying off 110 workers at its Lebanon, Kentucky cooperage, and American whiskies won't be on sale in Ontario any time soon…
