News and Politics with a Local Voice
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we mark Earth Week by discussing some of the news that happened on this planet. We will travel from Washington D.C. to Kiev where there’s finally some good news in that war effort, but it’s just too bad that there wasn’t any good news when it comes to funding our regional transit system. Also, we will talk and act locally with one of our Guelph city councillors. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #468) Show Notes for April 25, 2024”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re going to have an “orgy of spending.” That’s how one Conservative MP described this year’s federal budget, and we’re going to talk about why, and speaking of elicit sex, we’re going talk about the criminal trial of the former U.S. President. In the back half of the show though we’re going to keep things nice and professional with a future election candidate. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #467) Show Notes for April 18, 2024”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re still recovering from eclipse fever! More earth-bound matters are our concern this episode, and that means talking another trip to the Middle East to talk about the war inside Gaza, but it also means acknowledging that we’ve got defence problems closer to home too.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re feeling hungry… Hungry for the news! To begin with we will look 75 years into the past to when the last piece of Canada fell into place, and speaking of piece, we’ll talk about the people who get the bigger parts of paycheque pie. It’s going be no piece of cake for the people that fight forest fires in Ontario this summer, but there could be a sour lemon in the U.S. election.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it’s starting to feel like the bad guys are winning. It’s certainly true that a bad guy won in Russia this week, and he has a friend in the United States who he wants to join him in all the winning, but that’s still be determined because that guy’s got bigger problems. In terms of the smaller problems, we’ll have a guest on to talk about solutions. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #463) Show Notes for March 21, 2024”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we throw ourselves into international drama. From civil unrest in Haiti, to the ongoing disaster that’s still unfolding – and might yet get worse – in Gaza. Also, there’s a princess missing in England, and can you believe that’s going to be the *last* segment?! Also, closer to home, we’ve got another great government attempt to regulate the internet to discuss. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #462) Show Notes for March 14, 2024”
