Open Sources (Ep. #347) Show Notes for October 14, 2021

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we deal again with some heavy issues without any easy answers. In the medical field, we have hospital laying people off who won’t get vaccinated, and in Afghanistan we have people in need but they live under the yoke of some dangerous authoritarians.

Open Sources Show Notes for Thursday August 24, 2017

If there’s one image to sum up the Trump presidency, let it be a picture of the man himself staring at the eclipsed sun despite literally hundreds of thousands of warnings to do the exact opposite. As for the show, this week on Open Sources Guelph we’ll talk about Trump’s not-new war policy, refugee concerns from the moderate to the alt-right in Quebec, and we’ll welcome to the show, for the first time, another Liberal Member of Parliament.  Continue reading “Open Sources Show Notes for Thursday August 24, 2017” →
