Open Sources (Ep. #477) Show Notes for July 11, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re right brained. An ideological shift? Hardly, but there’s been a lot of action on the right side of the political spectrum in the last week, meaning that we’re going to talk about election outcomes across the Pond, and a bizarre road show that’s now rolling across Canada and rallying people to hate. For the interview this week, were going to talk about architecture with someone who knows. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #477) Show Notes for July 11, 2024” →

Open Sources (Ep. #476) Show Notes for July 4, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re dealing with disappointment. Was it wrong to hope that an 81-year-old man would find the energy at 9 pm on a weeknight to argue with a sociopath for two hours? Maybe, but then again it’s hard for leaders half that age to avoid calls to leave out the side door, at least that is what’s going on our own capital. In terms of good news, we’re going to talk to a community group that is literally making it a cool summer for low income people in Hamilton.

Open Sources (Ep. #475) Show Notes for June 27, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re bummed. Our long weekend plans collapsed like so much roofing that may or may not be a threat to some school kids on a class trip! Fortunately, there is lots of news and politics to chew on including surprise closures of tourist attractions, a surprising electoral victory and even a not-so-surprising one out west. As for the rest of the show, we’ve called the police, and they’re here to talk!! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #475) Show Notes for June 27, 2024” →

Open Sources (Ep. #474) Show Notes for June 20, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re beating the heat with hard hitting punditry. To that end, we’re knocking off some of the circus politics to talk about serious issues like foreign interference in our politics and the seemingly increasing gulf between police and reporters while they’re on the job. For the interview this week, we’re talking to one of the newer members of the Ontario legislature about how she’s spending these 120 some-odd days of summer.

Open Sources (Ep. #473) Show Notes for June 13, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we won’t say that democracy doesn’t work, but it certainly seems to be malfunctioning. We will look to our friends in the EU who seem to be increasingly embracing authoritarianism, but things aren’t too rosy on our own shores where a beleaguered Indigenous community here in Ontario has to take the government to court to get action. For the interview this week – and don’t hate us – we’re talking about landlord issues with a landlord. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #473) Show Notes for June 13, 2024” →

Open Sources (Ep. #472) Show Notes for June 6, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we don’t take the law into our own hands, we go to court with some popcorn. On this episode, many of our news items intersect with justice matters as we talk about the deportation of a national pariah, the trial of a serial killer, a plea deal for a would-be mass murderer, and the unexpected result of a corruption trial in the U.S. Also, because a week can’t go by without him sticking his foot in his mouth, we’ll talk about Ontario’s Premier.
