Open Sources (Ep. #431) Show Notes for June 22, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re in a summer mood, but there’s no time to relax because there’s a lot going on! First, we have to talk about the loud and growing group of people that want to deny history, and speaking of history, might Toronto be on the brink of electing its first female immigrant person of colour mayor? We’re not here to tell the future, but our local MPP will be here to talk about the recent past in the interview. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #431) Show Notes for June 22, 2023” →

Open Sources (Ep. #430) Show Notes for June 15, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re looking for reading material. Let’s go to the bathroom where, naturally, you keep all your state secrets!

For the interview, we’ve got someone local with something to celebrate. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #430) Show Notes for June 15, 2023” →

Open Sources (Ep. #429) Show Notes for June 8, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, all we’ve got are the issues. In this jam-packed news week, we will head to Toronto where some renters have had enough of being held upside-down and shaken till their pennies fall out, and speaking of accommodation, we have to talk about the new digs for Canada’s most well-known prisoner. In the back half of the show we’re looking at bigotry, the type being suffered by our LGBTQ+ friends and the type being perpetuated some some religious extremists.

Open Sources (Ep. #428) Show Notes for June 1, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we will usher in meteorological summer by casting some sunshine on key issues. For instance, there was an election this week in Alberta and it was a close one (relatively speaking in a Alberta terms), and there was more election talk in the House of Common as nobody’s happy with the former Governor General investigating interference. Also, since it’s summer, let’s talk about farming! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #428) Show Notes for June 1, 2023” →

Open Sources (Ep. #426) Show Notes for May 18, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we go back into the internet toilet. Yay? No, not yay, because we’ve got to tackle the increasing craziness of Canada’s own version of U.S. culture wars (passports, anyone?), and then speaking of sewers we have to get back into the mind of a former game show host/con artist who was once the leader of the free world. For the interview this week, good news! An exemplar of the ways that labour organizing still matters. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #426) Show Notes for May 18, 2023” →

Open Sources (Ep. #425) Show Notes for May 11, 2023

This week’s Open Sources Guelph is a down affair. What else can you say when China is making trouble again for Canadian politicians, and when things are getting so bad that making Canadians pay extra for the “privilege” of watching Fox News just isn’t enough anymore. And if these two topics aren’t a big enough bummer, we’re going to round out the show with some discussion about animal abuse for human amusement. Sadly, it’s just another Thursday in this timeline.
