This week on Open Sources Guelph, it’s back to school time! In the spirit of learning and continuing education we will open our minds and exercise our takes by tackling the big news stories of the week including a return trip to the Middle East where war and peace continues to be top of mind, and then there’s matters of immigration making the headlines here in Canada. More locally than that, we will talk about recent changes to government policy on safe consumption sites. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #483) Show Notes for September 5, 2024” →

Open Sources (Ep. #482) Show Notes for August 29, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re getting our bearings. In this late summer mode, we’re looking to the coming election south of the border and the constantly changing game there, meanwhile on this side of the border the Federal Liberals are hoping that they have enough juice to change their own game. Meanwhile, here in Guelph, the game is “musical chairs” and the players are Guelph city council and community members experiencing homelessness.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re back! We’re done with our usual summer vacation and we’re eager to hop back on the never ending news cycle to talk about all things breaking and unbreaking. Here in Ontario, there was a big meeting of all the municipalities this week in Ottawa, and abroad in eastern Europe there was a big move in the war happening there. For the interview this week, we’re also talking about a big move, a move that someone’s trying to make happen right here at home.

Open Sources (Ep. #479) Show Notes for July 25, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we need a drink. Good thing the liquor stores are open again, and to talk about why that is and what the workers in those stores are thinking, we’re joined by one of their union leaders on this episode. Why are we drinking? Drama! So much drama in the U.S. Presidential election this week as the odds changed again, and meanwhile, closer to home, we’ve got some big decisions to make in terms of our own defence.

Open Sources (Ep. #478) Show Notes for July 18, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it was a rough one. Looking south of the border these days is a white knuckle ride through all your fears about the future, and it’s so bad that we have to dedicate the whole first half of our show to talk about American politics. We will then look closer to home and talk to a member of our local city council about a concern that all of us have these days. You know what we’re talking about.
