Open Sources (Ep. #451) Show Notes for November 23, 2023

In Ontario, the third place party is about to find their new number one. Here in Guelph, it’s almost time to pass a new budget, but one city councillor is going to have the last word before the time comes. Join us as we mark American Thanksgiving with some largely Canadian affairs, aka: Just another Thursday on the radio. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #451) Show Notes for November 23, 2023” →

Open Sources (Ep. #450) Show Notes for November 16, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, can you smell what the show is cooking?! That’s an old reference, but it might have new relevance if a certain wrestler turned actor decides that he wants to be a politician now. Somehow, this idea is far less concerning than the company that the Premier of Alberta is keeping, and speaking of concerning, we will play host to a member of our local city council who’s going to talk about that big budget conundrum.

Open Sources (Ep. #449) Show Notes for November 9, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we make jokes about snow tires. Good thing because the rest of this show is about some super serious stuff including the war in Gaza, which has really heated up since we last talked about it, and along with that we will also talk about how we’re discussing the war here at home. Speaking of home, there are a lot of people in our community without one and we’re going to talk to someone in government trying to fix that.

Open Sources (Ep. #448) Show Notes for November 2, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we come down from the Halloween sugar high. A lot’s been happening on the homefront lately so we will take a break from current affairs in the Middle East and look at Queen’s Park, where the government seems buried under a mound of paper released to the press this week. Speaking of getting buried, we will look at if the federal government has buried itself by revisiting its most controversial piece of legislation. And lastly, we have another city council friend to talk with. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #448) Show Notes for November 2, 2023” →

Open Sources (Ep. #447) Show Notes for October 26, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we realize that it’s always darkest just before Halloween. At least that’s what it seems like when we open social media or a news app on our phone. We’ve got a full slate of political news for you from the latest in the Middle East and the frontlines in Israel to the battle lines in Queen’s Park. And then, we go to Saskatchewan where there was some constitutional experimentation, and speaking of experimenting, might Guelph be flirting with the blue team?!

Open Sources (Ep. #446) Show Notes for October 19, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it’s a kind of rerun. On the one hand, there’s still violence in the Middle East and it seems to be getting worse despite the interventions of foreign leaders and aid agencies. On the other hand we’ve got a great big new convoy, except it might not be as big as the previous one, but it’s still kind of annoying. And then, on our hidden third hand, we will talk about local stuff with a member of city council and how that might impact your wallet. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #446) Show Notes for October 19, 2023” →

Open Sources (Ep. #445) Show Notes for October 12, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’ve got to get serious for bit. Well, more serious. As we were enjoying the Thanksgiving long weekend, there was no rest for the people in Israel and the Gaza Strip and now a full-scale war seems to be inevitable. In lighter news though, there’s more dysfunction in the Republic Party for us to laugh at, and for the interview this week, we’ll head back up Highway #7 to visit another provincial election candidate.
