News and Politics with a Local Voice
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”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re going back to the 80s. The 18th Prime Minister of Canada passed away last week and we will talk about his impact between then and now, and speaking of the 80s, we’ve also got to talk about Trump again.

Meanwhile, closer to home, an old man is almost literally yelling at clouds. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #459) Show Notes for February 22, 2024”

We’re going to start local where the Mayor of Guelph declared himself strong, and just in time for a very complicated and emotional meeting about public policy around encampments. Also (sorta) local, we will talk about the impact of the latest round of media job cuts and then it’s off to Queen’s Park for another adventure!

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we start 2024 by looking back at 2023. It’s that time again for our annual political awards show, and for nearly 10 years we’ve given out the hardware in some very specific categories that capture all the best and the worst of a given year, and as usual there might be more of one than the other. You know what? Let’s keep hope alive because we’re now in our tenth year of doing this and we’re still going strong! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #457) Show Notes for January 4, 2024”
