News and Politics with a Local Voice
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’ve got some very big things to talk about. Obviously, we always have big things to talk about, but this week, we take a trip into realms more ethereal. Is there a real shift underway giving more power to the workers? Is there really a pandemic of wokeness in the discourse right now? Looking locally though, we’re going to talk about something more tangible, the budget. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #351) Show Notes for November 11, 2021”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we think globally and act locally. We will talk about that gathering of world leaders in Scotland trying to solve climate change, or at least that’s what they say, and closer to home, the Canadian government is still taking Indigenous people to court. In terms of acting locally, we will talk to the head of Guelph Campaign School about running for something next year. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #350) Show Notes for November 4, 2021”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, the times they are a-changin’. We have a new cabinet for the Federal government, and there were actually a few surprises. We will also talk about how things never really seem to change at the Provincial level, at least on battling COVID. In the back half of the show, we will talk to a Guelph city councillor, who will be looking over a new kind of City of Guelph budget next month.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’ve got a potpourri. “Potpourri” is the category on Jeopardy! where they’ve got a lot of great answers that don’t fit into other categories, so this week’s show is a potpourri as we discuss the Alberta municipal elections, and the murder of another British Member of Parliament. In the back half of the show, we’re going to interview a Kitchener man who made history in last month’s Federal election. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #348) Show Notes for October 21, 2021”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we deal again with some heavy issues without any easy answers. In the medical field, we have hospital laying people off who won’t get vaccinated, and in Afghanistan we have people in need but they live under the yoke of some dangerous authoritarians. Meanwhile, here in Guelph, we have a heritage building that was a fire trap. So many issues, and only one hour to cover them.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it’s back to business! Our theme this week is getting back to work, take the Ontario government for instance, they got back to work with the Speech from the Throne, and there was a lot of PR work to do this week at Facebook HQ in the middle of their terrible news week. In the back half of the show, Guelph’s MP is going to talk about why he’s eager to get back to work in Ottawa. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #346) Show Notes for October 7, 2021”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we thought we were done with Federal politics for at least a week, but the news doesn’t care about our own bright ideas. In the last week, we’ve seen the sudden and surprising end to the saga of the Two Michaels, and the sudden and not-so-surprising end of Annamie Paul’s Green Party leadership. In the back half of the show, we go back to 1 Carden Street to talk about Guelph stuff! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #345) Show Notes for September 30, 2021”
