News and Politics with a Local Voice
This week on Open Sources Guelph, the Easter Bunny’s bringing a basket full of issues. Before taking a nice, leisurely long weekend off, we’re diving again into the Ukrainian War (now in it’s eighth great week), and the latest in terms of Ontario’s sixth wave (non) response. In the back half of the show, we’re talking to our local Federal representative about that big to-do pictured above, last week’s Federal budget.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re covering a lot of ground. In part one somehow things have gotten even worse in Ukraine, and speaking of things getting worse, we’ve got to talk about COVID again. In the second half of the show, we go back to Europe to check-up with the far-right’s favourite western democracy, and then we come back to Canda to keep the chat about far-right stuff going.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, slap coverage will be kept to a minimum, unless, of course, the topic of a very immature social media post from the Alberta Premier comes up. Jason Kenney is among our topics of conversation this week, and we will also, obviously, talk about the latest war news from Ukraine. Closer to home, one of CFRU’s city councillors will join us to talk about plans of the official variety. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #371) Show Notes for March 31, 2022”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, there’s war, peace and optimism. The war part is obvious, it’s another week of death and despair in Ukraine, and still with now end in sight. In peace news though, two major Federal parties have reached a deal to govern for the next few years if they can figure out how to make it world. Optimism? Well, we have a candidate who hopes he will be Guelph’s next Member of Provincial Parliament. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #370) Show Notes for March 24, 2022”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, contrarian opinions are welcome, and they always will be. Wish we could say that was true in Russia, which is doing everything it can to convince its people that they are not in an aggressive war against Ukraine. We have to talk about that again, and we will also talk about the race to be Canada’s next Federal Conservative leader, plus, a city councillor stops by for another chat. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #369) Show Notes for March 17, 2022”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re flying the yellow and blue. We’re heading back to Ukraine to talk about the latest war developments and the refugee crisis, and we’re going to talk about the local response with the head of Guelph’s Ukrainian Catholic Church. Down at Queen’s Park meanwhile, it was a week of saying a pre-election “goodbye” to some our favourite and least-favourite MPPs. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #368) Show Notes for March 10, 2022”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, it’s a lot of bad news. Internationally circumstances force us to go back to Ukraine where the war still rages and shows no sign of stopping. More locally, we go back to Nova Scotia to talk about the inquiry into one of Canada’s worst crimes, if not *the* worst crime. In more positive news, we will happily welcome another one of our local upcoming provincial election candidates to the show. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #367) Show Notes for March 3, 2022”
