Open Sources (Ep. #578) Show Notes for July 16, 2026

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we… [coughcoughcough]! Ugh! This air is just [cough]! I mean really you can’t [coughcough]! without [coughcoughcough]! Yes, the air is bad, but then again, so is the news. We’re heading back to Iran, and then we’re heading back to Alberta for our first showdown with data centres. And if we can spare the air, we will spend the second half of the show talking to a Farmer who has some Climate Solutions! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #578) Show Notes for July 16, 2026” →

Open Sources (Ep. #546) Show Notes for December 4, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph things are not going according to plan. From Queen’s Park to Parliament Hill, our provincial and federal governments are missing the goal posts and are facing some rather harsh scrutiny. And speaking of scrutiny, we will talk to one of our city councillors about making the tough decisions that you probably didn’t like about next year’s city budget.

Open Sources (Ep. #533) Show Notes for September 4, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we catch up on our reading. In this all-news edition of the show, we will learn about the current condo crisis in Canada, and while we’re learning about alliteration, we will talk about literature. In Alberta, they’re taking more lessons from the MAGA movement by making a list of books they hate and checking it twice, and speaking of MAGA, their figurehead may or may not be dead depending on the day.

Out of the Middle East this week some good news for a change, or at least some less bad news depending on what’s next.

Open Sources (Ep. #466) Show Notes for April 11, 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. In the back half of the show, our concern is going to be about work, and the people coming here to work. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #466) Show Notes for April 11, 2024” →

Now Donald Trump’s Going to Get a Comic Book Too…

Almost a year ago, we posted about the arrival of Justin Trudeau in comic book form, and how it mirrored the comic book boom of Barack Obama when he was first elected as President in 2008. Well, the new President, Donald J. Trump, is not immune to comic book inspiration in seems, but in the case of “45” this graphic novel is hardly going to be flattering.
