This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're in a summer mood, but there's no time to relax because there's a lot going on! First, we have to talk about the loud and growing group of people that want to deny history, and speaking of history, might Toronto be on the brink of electing its first female immigrant person of colour mayor? We're not here to tell the future, but our local MPP will be here to talk about the recent past in the interview. This Thursday, June 22, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: The Jewel of Denial. Kimberly Murray, the independent special interlocutor for the search for unmarked graves, delivered a report last week outlining several challenges and one of the biggest is the "increase in the violence of denialism." A concerted effort is underway to pretend that the atrocities at Canada's residential schools didn't happen despite the mound of evidence to the contrary, so we have to interrupt this National Indigenous History Month to talk about why people want to erase those dark chapters. Chow You See Me. And you may be seeing more of Olivia Chow if the polls turn out to be true! The former city councillor and Member of Parliament is all but assured victory in the Toronto Mayoral byelection Monday, and this despite all the salt in her game these last few days with former campaign rivals John Tory and Doug Ford both endorsing other candidates. Leaving aside the fact that she still has to win on Monday, what might the future look like for "Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow"? And Just Mike That... The Ontario Legislature rose for the summer last week, and that means Premier Doug Ford may be too busy at the cottage to blow up the regular order for a couple of months. As we stop to catch our breath, we're joined by Guelph MPP and Green Party of Ontario leader Mike Schreiner to talk about the first year of this term, trying to influence the government on his own housing ideas, and the provincial response to the wild fire smoke that's settled over much of Ontario this month. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday. Editor's Note: If you're a residential school survivor, or are a victim of the inter-generational trauma caused by residential schools, you can seek help for your pain and distress 24 hours a day by calling the National Indian Residential School Crisis Line at 1-866-925-4419.

Toronto Mayoral election tomorrow. Polling front runner Olivia Chow, according to premier Doug Ford would be an "unmitigated disaster" for the city as Mayor.

On this week's episode, we were proud to welcome Toronto's 23rd and first Black police chief, Mark Saunders to the show, as he seeks to lead Toronto as its 66th mayor.

Whether it's on housing, safety, security, mental health, gridlock, safe injection sites or a general sense of disorder, this son of Jamaica by way of the UK thinks that status quo politicians have failed Torontonians, but that he has the most sensible plan to make it right. We'll soon know if Toronto agrees. To learn more about Mark's mayoral campaign, visit https://marksaundersfortoronto.ca/.

Small and medium-sized suppliers are calling out the questionable treatment they face from the big grocery retailers when it comes to getting their products on the shelves and the uncertainty of how long they will last there.

And then there's the issue of the rising fees they face in doing business with the big chains and the "chargebacks". Our guests weigh in on the latest. Listen live, weekdays from noon to 1, on Zoomer Radio!

Now that John Tory has officially stepped down as mayor, the field of candidates hoping to replace him is a big one. With roughly 50 candidates on the ballot so far, there's a lot to make sense of. To help weigh the merits of some of the major candidates, and the ideas proposed so far, we talk to Spacing Senior Editor John Lorinc and Toronto Metropolitan University Associate Professor Cheryl Thompson about what stands out in the race so far. And the new Spacing Magazine is available now, and it's all about the Ontario Line — the new subway meant to connect the downtown to the northeast of the city. Civil engineer and University of Toronto Associate Professor Shoshanna Saxe tells us about her latest Spacing contribution about how to get the most value-for-money from the new subway line.

Meanwhile, today the Ford government will be making an announcement about the future of Ontario Place and the Ontario Science Centre. And, Olivia Chow joins the Toronto Mayoral race. She's done it before. Does she have what it takes to address this City's current issues? ---- FOOD PRICES AND INFLATION DROP Marissa Lennox is now joined by Dr. Sylvain Charlebois, Senior Director, Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University. The good news: according to Statistics Canada, the annual rate of inflation fell from 5.2 per cent in February to 4.3 per cent last month. The also somewhat good news is that there has been a deceleration of food prices which went from 10.6 per cent in February down to 9.7 per cent in March (yes...not a big difference). The drop in food costs was fuelled by lower prices for fruits and vegetables. Dr. Charlebois reacts to the latest news and weighs in on what it means for consumers. ---- RESIDENTS MAY BE ABLE TO SEE CHERRY BLOSSOMS EARLIER THIS YEAR Marissa Lennox is now joined by Charlie Dobbin, host of The Garden Show on Zoomer Radio. It may very well be the case that we'll be able to see the High Park Cherry Blossoms earlier than expected this year because of a wave of unseasonably warm weather in the City. Our gardening guest weighs in on the latest. Listen live, weekdays from noon to 1, on Zoomer Radio!

Libby Znaimer is joined by David Crombie, former Mayor of Toronto, Karen Stintz, CEO of Variety Village and a former Toronto City Councillor and Paula Fletcher, Councillor for Ward 14 Toronto-Danforth. The candidate pool for the Toronto Mayoral race continues to grow. This week, Councillor Brad Bradford and Liberal MP Mitzie Hunter both officially declared they are running. Yesterday, we had on former Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders on the show who is also officially running. For him, the key priority is to restore a sense of safety in the community as we see concerning levels of violence on the TTC and in public spaces. But, is he too close to Premier Doug Ford? The Premier told voters openly that they shouldn't vote for any candidate who wants to make cuts to the police budget. What do we make of that? And, should the Premier really be getting involved in municipal politics?  And Deputy Mayor Jennifer McKelvie is blaming Ottawa for not providing much needed funding as part of the federal budget to fill Toronto's budget hole of hundreds of millions of dollars. Our panel has the latest. ---- ANA BAILAO IS RUNNING FOR MAYOR Libby Znaimer is now joined by Ana Bailão, Former Deputy Mayor of Toronto who is now running for Mayor. The veteran city councillor has thrown her hat in the race  to be the City's next Mayor. For her, one of the big issues is reversing cuts to the TTC, which is certainly a great idea. But, does she have what it takes considering that the list of candidates continues to grow with names like Brad Bradford, Mark Saunders, and Mitzie Hunter now in the race as well? ---- A CLOSER LOOK AT THE FEDERAL BUDGET Libby Znaimer is now joined by Jamie Golombek, Managing Director of Tax & Estate Planning at CIBC. The federal budget promises to punish high-income Canadians making $1 million or more a year with higher taxes.
