Open Sources (Ep. #416) Show Notes for March 9, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re going to spring ahead with the underdogs. (Daylight savings time starts this weekend people.) First, we will head to Hamilton to catch up with the Ontario Liberals as they struggle to come out of the wilderness, and then we will talk about labour issues on the railways, and whether or not we should be concerned given recent events. And finally, we will spend some time with the other elected Mike from the Green Party. The one from Kitchener. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #416) Show Notes for March 9, 2023” →

Open Sources (Ep. #415) Show Notes for March 2, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re crowding the national news leaders by stealing their thunder. From our non-existent news headquarters in Ottawa, we’re going to look at the increase in use and rhetoric around unofficial border crossings, plus the new controversy around Chinese election interference. We’re also going to discuss the importation of far-right European politics (for a week anyway), and then the two old men who host this show are going to discuss Tik Tok!

Open Sources (Ep. #414) Show Notes for February 23, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we go back into the shadows. In the realm of extremism and conspiracy theories it was a rough week because one year after the Freedom Convoy it turns out that the government was right to use the Emergencies Act after all. That’s okay though, because we’re found the real cause of all our problems, and you will never guess what it is! For the interview, we’re talking to a local city councillor about more down-to-Earth issues. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #414) Show Notes for February 23, 2023” →

Open Sources (Ep. #413) Show Notes for February 16, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re feeling the love. Yes, it’s two days after Valentine’s Day technically, but the love for covering hot button issues and concerning political trends burns strong. On the menu today is a variety of topics including a new conflict of interest scandal for the premier, and a new sex scandal for the Mayor of Toronto. Abroad, we will look at the latest developments around a year-long war, and the same old same old from the death cult that now runs the American legislature.

Open Sources (Ep. #412) Show Notes for February 9, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we look up. We look northeast-ward to Ottawa to see if there might finally be a new healthcare deal between levels of government, and then we look to the sky for more Chinese spy balloons because that’s a thing now. After that, we go back to Ottawa to revisit the fallout from the “Freedom Convoy” exactly one year ago, and specifically the effect on the people living there, which has now been documented in a convenient new report.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it’s Groundhog Day! This week on Open Sources Guelph, it’s Groundhog Day! Now that we’ve got that out of our system, let’s talk about what we’re doing on this week’s show. First, we will talk about a recently passed Ontario politician and the parts of her career most people aren’t talking about, and then we will talk about the very sad sequel to last year’s biggest blockbuster protest.
