News and Politics with a Local Voice
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.

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.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re going to have an “orgy of spending.” That’s how one Conservative MP described this year’s federal budget, and we’re going to talk about why, and speaking of elicit sex, we’re going talk about the criminal trial of the former U.S. President. In the back half of the show though we’re going to keep things nice and professional with a future election candidate. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #467) Show Notes for April 18, 2024”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re feeling hungry… Hungry for the news! To begin with we will look 75 years into the past to when the last piece of Canada fell into place, and speaking of piece, we’ll talk about the people who get the bigger parts of paycheque pie. It’s going be no piece of cake for the people that fight forest fires in Ontario this summer, but there could be a sour lemon in the U.S. election.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it’s starting to feel like the bad guys are winning. It’s certainly true that a bad guy won in Russia this week, and he has a friend in the United States who he wants to join him in all the winning, but that’s still be determined because that guy’s got bigger problems. In terms of the smaller problems, we’ll have a guest on to talk about solutions. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #463) Show Notes for March 21, 2024”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re going back to the 80s. The 18th Prime Minister of Canada passed away last week and we will talk about his impact between then and now, and speaking of the 80s, we’ve also got to talk about Trump again. In the back half of the show, there was good news about the pharmacare, and we will try and find some good news for the women out there in advance of their day. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #461) Show Notes for March 7, 2024”
This week Open Sources Guelph is dealing bad news. What else is new? From critics silenced to cities under siege, we’re reminded that there’s a world full of danger and destruction out there, which are two things that are closely associated with a specific man who was once President of the United States, and might be again. Meanwhile, closer to home, an old man is almost literally yelling at clouds. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #459) Show Notes for February 22, 2024”
