Open Sources (Ep. #411) Show Notes for February 2, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it’s Groundhog Day! This week on Open Sources Guelph, it’s Groundhog Day! Now that we’ve got that out of our system, let’s talk about what we’re doing on this week’s show. First, we will talk about a recently passed Ontario politician and the parts of her career most people aren’t talking about, and then we will talk about the very sad sequel to last year’s biggest blockbuster protest. For the interview? We’re going to have some municipal money talk. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #411) Show Notes for February 2, 2023” →

Open Sources (Ep. #410) Show Notes for January 19, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph it’s Blue Thursday, the saddest Thursday of the week. To celebrate, we’re going to talk about the Code Blue in our healthcare system that Ontario’s inglorious premier thinks he’s solved, and then we’re going to talk about some issues around Toronto’s men and women in blue, the members of its police service. But it’s not all depressing because we’ve brought in an old friend to talk about all the math city council will be doing next week!

Open Sources (Ep. #409) Show Notes for January 12, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’ve got déjà vu, or should we say, “déjà coup”. A lot of people have made that joke, so let’s talk about the very serious issues behind that with some concerning recent undemocratic events in Brazil. We will also talk about one of Scotty’s favourite issues, rich people having too much money! In the back half of the show, we’re going to talk to the man who might be the most obsessively environmental person in Ontario politics not named Mike.

Open Sources (Ep. #408) Show Notes for January 5, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph we’re back at work! That was a nice holiday break but the news doesn’t stop, even though we do (for a time). So on this show, we’re catching up with the crazy politics of the United States, which did not take a holiday break, and we will catch up with the War in Ukraine because there was no holiday break there either. For the interview this week, we will finish up our round of interviews with the new city councillors by chatting with the new guy representing Ward 6.

Open Sources (Ep. #406) Show Notes for December 22, 2022

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it’s holiday time and you know what that means. For the last seven years, we’ve dedicated the last episode before Christmas to some of our favourite political movies, and year eight will be no different. Before you are four titles for your consideration, some of them are recent, some of them are very recent, and at least one title is from the tumultuous Sixties. Shall we stream?

Open Sources (Ep. #405) Show Notes for December 15, 2022

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we start wrapping up the year in the same way we started it: political rancour and insurrection!
