This week on Open Sources Guelph it's all going according to plan. Sort of. At least that's what the Prime Minister of Canada wants us to think as he seeks out foreign investment around the globe. Closer to home, trouble is brewing for his provincial counterparts in Quebec, while even more closer to home we will talk to the head of Guelph city council about all the things he can't or won't do when it comes to the city budget. This Thursday, November 27, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: The Trading Post. Prime Minister Mark Carney has been laser focused on the economy, but not wanting to deal with you-know-who in the White House has prompted some strange bedfellows, and it's seen Carney making deals with both Narendra Modi and Danielle Smith. But in the midst of all this deal-making is Carney losing the moral high ground on foreign interference and fighting climate change? Also, should we care that he doesn't care about meeting with Trump? The French Deflection. In June, the Quebec Liberal Party chose former federal cabinet minister Pablo Rodriguez to lead them into next year's provincial election, and to have a shot at unseating the incumbent Coalition Avenir Quebec all they had to do was stay scandal-free. Oops. Now, twin scandals of a fired chief of staff and allegations of vote buying in the leadership contest are kicking up dirt that could scuttle the new image of the squeaky clean Liberals. What's going in the National Assembly? Mayor Cake. This week Guelph city council made amendments to the 2026 budget, which is now technically speaking the mayor's budget thanks to legislative changes from Queen's Park. Before the meeting, we sat down with the Mayor of Guelph, Cam Guthrie, to talk about his considerations going into the budget vote, the worst case scenarios he considered, the growing gap between fiscal need and financial resources, and the red line he needs to reach before using his veto pen.

After meeting on the sidelines of the G20 in South Africa, Prime Minister Mark Carney and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have announced they would restart trade talks.It's a long way from where the two countries have been for the last several years. Relations blew up in 2023 after former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused agents of India's government of being involved in the murder of a Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.Then, last year, the RCMP publicly accused such agents of being involved in a campaign of homicides, extortions and threats targeting the South Asian community on Canadian soil. Recently, the director of CSIS suggested that the problem hasn't gone away.In B.C.'s Lower Mainland, over 100 reports of extortion were made in the last year.Two CBC reporters who have been covering this issue give us a closer look at what exactly has been happening on the ground in Canada, particularly when it comes to extortion, who might be behind it, and how this all connects to the larger context of a thawing relationship with India.Baneet Braich is based out of Abbotsford, B.C.

Alors que le président américain Donald Trump a interrompu les négociations commerciales avec le Canada, le Premier ministre canadien, Mark Carney souhaite que son pays se rapproche de l'Inde et de la Chine. Pour quelles raisons ? Mark Carney, s'est engagé à doubler les échanges de son pays au cours de la prochaine décennie. Il a donc besoin de diversifier ses partenariats économiques. On a déjà observé un réchauffement des relations entre le chef de l'exécutif canadien et son homologue indien, Narendra Modi, en marge du récent G20 à Johannesburg, en Afrique du Sud. Renouer des liens avec la cinquième puissance mondiale Les deux dirigeants ont convenu de relancer les négociations en vue d'un accord commercial. Des discussions, au point mort depuis deux ans en raison de la crise diplomatique entre les deux pays suite à l'assassinat d'un leader sikh à Vancouver. Le Canada avait accusé les autorités indiennes d'être impliquées. Mais depuis les taxes Trump ont rebattu les cartes. « L'Inde est la cinquième économie mondiale, et c'est une grande opportunité pour les travailleurs et entreprises canadiens », a écrit Mark Carney sur la plateforme X lors du G20. De quelles opportunités parle-t-il ? Légumes, combustibles, pâte de bois et engrais partent du Canada vers l'Inde. Produits pharmaceutiques, machinerie, électronique, pierres précieuses, font le chemin inverse entre l'Inde et le Canada. Le commerce entre deux pays tourne actuellement à l'avantage du Canada grâce aux exportations de services. Ottawa souhaite aussi pérenniser l'approvisionnement de l'Inde en uranium. L'objectif est de doubler ses échanges bilatéraux avec New Dehli pour atteindre 50 milliards de dollars américains d'ici 2030. Choisir bien sa stratégie avec la Chine Pour compenser les conséquences de taxes Trump sur son économie, Ottawa veut aussi se rapprocher de la Chine. Mais d'abord il faudra mettre un terme à la guerre commerciale qui fait rage entre Ottawa et Pékin. Supprimer le droit de douane de 100 % sur les véhicules électriques chinois. Une mesure que le gouvernement fédéral examinerait actuellement. La Chine, quant à elle, devra lever les taxes imposées sur le canola, utilisé pour faire de l'huile, les fruits de mer et le porc canadiens. Des liens économiques qu'il faudra aussi étendre à la recherche et au développement, à la production industrielle et aux services. La Chine est déjà le deuxième partenaire commercial du Canada. Mais seulement 5% des exportations canadiennes partent vers la Chine, alors que près de 75% sont destinés aux États-Unis. Remplacer Washington ne sera donc pas simple. D'autant que des inquiétudes persistent par rapport à la Chine concernant les droits de l'homme et les risques de cyber ingérence.

Bihar, now voting to elect its 18th state assembly, says with pride that democracy was born here. That's why Prime Minister Narendra Modi says India is the mother of democracy.

How do you assess the strategic impact of Operation Sindoor on South Asia's security landscape?  It didn't change Pakistan's calculus on using terrorism as a tool of foreign policy. It may have had a lot of domestic fillips for Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi and his government, but at the level of strategic impact, none are visible.   How do you view Pakistan's internal instability and economic fragility in this context?  Before Operation Sindoor, the Pakistan Army was really on the back foot because of the way it was treating (former Prime Minister) Imran Khan. And Imran Khan is very popular in Pakistan. After Operation Sindoor, the criticism of the Pakistan Army went silent. And we know that Asim Munir crowned himself Field Marshal. So the Pakistan Army is very good at calibrating public support for the institution.   With regards to Pakistan's economic fragility, Pakistan has always been, for as long as I've been following it, economically fragile. Going back to the years after the withdrawal of the Soviets from Afghanistan, Pakistan has always been economically precarious. But what Pakistan can do: it's actually able to use its nuclear weapons to extract aid from the international community.   For example, I and countless Indians, among others, watched in complete shock as Pakistan remained on the FATF (Financial Action Task Force) grey list, instead of getting a blacklisting as it so rightly deserved. And then it was eventually removed from the grey list altogether. Well, the reason for that was if it got a blacklisting, it would no longer qualify for IMF (International Monetary Fund) funding, which would be economically disastrous for Pakistan.   So, Pakistan is able to use its nuclear weapons to make sure that it is able to get buyout packages from the international community. And those international buyout packages allow the army to continue doing what the army wants to do.   How do you see the Pakistan–Saudi Arabia defence pact in this larger context of regional security and India's growing alignment with the US?  I don't think there's much to the Pakistan–Saudi pact. There was some discussion about whether or not Pakistan would extend its nuclear umbrella to Saudi Arabia, but the question has to be asked: who would attack Saudi Arabia with nuclear weapons? So, there was a lot more signalling than substance in that pact. I don't think we have a new geopolitical arrangement that changes things in any substantive way as a result of that.   What I think is more disconcerting has been the collapse of Indo-US relations under the Trump administration, because this is a relationship that has been built bilaterally on both sides, going back to (US President) Bill Clinton in the 2000s.   With the latest ceasefire in Gaza, how do you assess India's role? Should it take more of a role in the peace talks?  India has had no role, so whether or not it should have more is kind of off the table. India has basically refrained from any kind of morally informed position on Gaza. So I don't think you're going to expect India to do anything more than it's already done, which is pretty much nothing.   Do you think the US is ceding strategic ground to China, particularly in South Asia?  I think it has. It's really difficult to tell what's going on with Trump's policy towards India because it is so opaque. And the issues that seem to be driving it are India's continued petrol-laundering of Russian oil, which was something that the Americans had actually wanted India to do. This is something that Trump has made quite a bit of hay about.    He also erroneously claimed that India had agreed not to do that. There's absolute silence about that tweet on the Indian side. And of course, this tariff issue. So, if you look at what Trump is doing everywhere, he's ceding ground to China not just in South Asia, but everywhere.   How do you assess the

For much of India's democratic history, the woman voter has either been invisible or ignored – at times she has been spoken for, but very rarely listened to. A new book by the journalist Ruhi Tewari argues that this is no longer the case and seeks to understand why women have emerged from the political shadows.What Women Want: Understanding the Female Voter in Modern India draws on years of journalism and field reportage to trace the rise of the woman voter from 1947 to the present day.Ruhi is a journalist with nearly two decades of experience covering politics, policy and their intersection for leading Indian media organizations. She's developed a reputation for being a savvy political reporter who spends quality time in the field understanding what makes voters, politicians, and parties tick. Ruhi joins Milan on the show this to talk more about her new book. They discuss the “subtle but steady shift” in how women voters are perceived, the narrowing gender gap in voter turnout, and the distinctive voter behavior of India's women. Plus, Ruhi and Milan discuss the proliferation of “pro-women” welfare schemes and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's unique ability to connect with the woman voter.Watch this episode on YouTube here.Episode notes:1.

What did PM Modi say about India-ASEAN ties in his virtual address at the ongoing ASEAN Summit?

The headlines of the week by The Indian Express

In 2014, Narendra Modi became India's Prime Minister, marking the beginning of what many experts and international watchgroups identify as a period of democratic erosion in the country. Since then, a number of other democracies around the world have followed India on this path — including, by many measures, the United States. On this episode, Dan Richards talks with two experts on Indian politics and society about Modi's rise in India: its causes and effects, how it compares to other instances of democratic erosion around the world, and what it can teach us about democracy's weaknesses and strengths. Guests on this episode:Poulami Roychowdhury is an associate professor of sociology and international and public affairs at the Watson School of International and Public Affairs.Patrick Heller is a professor of sociology and international and public affairs and director of the Watson School's Saxena Center for Contemporary South Asia. Read Roychowdhury's and Heller's recent work exploring democracy and democratic erosion in India.

Ignite the fight, patriots—@intheMatrixxx and @shadygrooove, the relentless truth warriors of America-First radio, blast into Season 7, Episode 202, "Flynn's Manufactured Attacks on Trump; Arabella's Dark-Money Empire Exposed; Diwali's Light Over Leftist Darkness; ICE Heroism in LA," airing October 23, 2025, at 12:05 PM Eastern, where they shred Michael Flynn's crew ramping up bogus smears via Arabella Advisors and Soros cash floods—despite Trump's Treasury probes and FEC indictments already gutting that globalist slush fund fueling riots and sanctuary sabotage—while rolling the full White House Diwali clip from October 21, spotlighting President Trump's diya-lighting wisdom on "knowledge over ignorance" as a direct smackdown of elite fools, joined by FBI Director Kash Patel and DNI Tulsi Gabbard toasting PM Modi's alliance amid exploding US-India trade. With unfiltered intel, they break down the LA chaos where a U.S. Marshal took a ricochet hit from illegal TikTok agitator Carlitos Ricardo Parias ramming ICE rides during Trump's deportation surge—now up 1,000% in agent assaults—proving the border wall works while Portland's MAGA-backed REACH program rebuilds vet homes unscathed amid ANTIFA street tantrums; then pivot to Trump's Oval counterpunch, touting 500K+ deportations sealing the southern flank, inflation crushed under economic booms, and viral quips dismantling hostile press gotchas that only amplify America First wins against deep-state whispers. The truth is learned, never told—the Constitution is your weapon. Tune in at noon-0-five Eastern LIVE to stand with Trump!

Jim Geraghty is back! Join Jim and Greg on Friday's 3 Martini Lunch as Jim shares highlights from his recent trip to India,including how the opportunity arose and why it happened now. He also explains how Indians are currently viewing the Trump administration and the overall relationship between India and the U.S. as well as the emerging threat from China.First, Jim shares how he got invited on the trip, the significance of the timing, and more. He also goes into detail about the RSS, a powerful group in Indian politics that is closely connected to current Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.Next, Jim details how Indian officials currently view the United States and President Trump. Some strain has emerged in the relationship over the past year, but it has less to do with the tariffs applied by Trump and more to do with how the administration intervened in the tensions between India and Pakistan earlier in the year.Finally, Jim reveals how India is watching China's relentless military buildup with increasing concern, both in terms of a possible invasion of Taiwan and India's own border problems with the Chinese.

Trump's foreign policy means the United States is leaving a vacuum in world affairs – and China looks increasingly willing to fill it.   Following the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Tianjin last month, what is the real nature of Xi Jinping and China's expanding but complex international relationships, including those with Narendra Modi in India and Vladimir Putin in Russia?

This push prioritizes energy security, especially for upstream gas developments, and also extends to other development banks to finance fossil fuel projects. The U.S. is also pushing other development banks to finance fossil fuels, including gas pipeline projects, according to FT's sources.  In recent years, the World Bank and many commercial banks have backed out of lending money to some fossil fuels, including coal, oil sands, and Arctic oil and gas. Banks were under intense shareholder and stakeholder pressure to cut their exposure to fossil fuels and align their lending portfolios to the Paris Agreement goals. But the tables have turned with the U.S. Administration strongly promoting fossil fuels and America's dominance in oil and gas exports.  Source: zerohedge.com  https://twitter.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1970500336075874496   round of powerful tariffs, which would stop the bloodshed very quickly." https://twitter.com/JoeLang51440671/status/1970500635058425949  made appearances side by side at stadium rallies — a big optics boost for two populist leaders with ideological similarities.

And much of it has happened far from the corridors of power and, unsurprisingly, through Trump's posts on social media.

Tommy & Ben discuss China's summit in Tianjin, which brought together leaders from 20 countries, including India, Iran, Russia, and North Korea, and how it signals a major shift in global alliances. They talk about the schism between Trump and India's President Narendra Modi and how Trump keeps conceding to China on issues like AI and student visas despite his many empty threats. Also covered: the administration's illegal airstrike on a Venezuelan boat allegedly carrying drugs, the new for-profit ethnic cleansing plan for Gaza, how the gutting of USAID is hobbling the response to Afghanistan's devastating earthquake, and Steve Witkoff's stupendous incompetence in his role as special envoy for….everything. Then, Tommy speaks with journalist Jasper Nathaniel, who covers the West Bank on his Substack, Infinite Jaz. They talk about what life is like for Palestinians there, the far-right's goal of achieving total annexation of the territory, and the pipe dream of a two-state solution. For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Chinese leader Xi Jinping and held hands with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Beijing this weekend. Their talks came during the annual Shanghai Cooperation Organization meeting, an event that marked the first time in seven years that Presidents Modi and Xi met in person. It also comes as the US navigates a rocky relationship with China, combats India's frustration over President Donald Trump's tariffs, and tries to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine. To discuss further what Putin's latest bromance with Xi and Modi means for his on-again, off-again relationship with Trump, we spoke with Tommy Vietor. He's the co-host of Crooked Media's Pod Save the World.And in headlines: The Trump family amasses billions after launching a new cryptocurrency, Americans are losing faith in hard work, and a postwar plan to turn Gaza into an AI-powered smart city is floating around the Trump administration.Show Notes:Check out Pod Save The World – www.crooked.com/podcast-series/pod-save-the-world/Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Anna Bower, Tyler McBrien, and Peter Harrell to talk through the week's big national security news stories, including:“Faginomics.” With the recent announcement that the U.S. government would be taking a 10% stake in the company Intel, the Trump administration has ushered in a new era of state-guided industrial policy, fueled by concerns of major power competition, particularly around the race to AI. How does this new policy intersect with its other novel economic priorities, such as the imposition of tariffs? And how legally viable is it, given present (and potentially future) legal challenges?“Ménage à Trois.” On the margins of the recent meeting of the China- and Russia-led Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a point of warmly (and very publicly) embracing Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping—a move many have taken as a clear shot across the bow at the Trump administration, which has been in heated economic negotiations with India over tariffs and trade relations. What does this exchange say about the Trump administration's handling of the U.S. relationship with India—and other key U.S. relationships?“Midnight Planes Going Nowhere.” In an emergency hearing over the holiday weekend, federal judge Sparkle Sooknanan stopped the Trump administration from deporting hundreds of unaccompanied Guatemalan minor migrants to their home country—a move that the government of Guatemala has now claimed that it invited. What should we make of this move by the Trump administration? And how does it fit within its broader immigration crackdown?In object lessons, Tyler biked to City Island, NY, discovering a charming little enclave with great food, shops, and beaches. Sticking with the New York theme, Anna recommends “John Proctor is the Villain,” a play by a writer from her Georgia hometown that's so good it's making women cry. Scott, meanwhile, left New York behind to live his best Neapolitan life with a new backyard pizza oven that can achieve the appropriate temp for a puffy crust. And Peter's been reading “When the Clock Broke,” a reminder that the 1990s may have been the dress rehearsal for our current political dumpster fire, all the while keeping an eye on challenges to Trump v.
