Open Sources Show Notes for Thursday March 24, 2016

What a news week it was! Putting aside the Brussels attack (and we do because we can all agree that ISIS is terrible and no one deserves to die on the whim of a madman or men), it was a busy week of big stories, big decisions and big losses here for Open Sources Guelph. Consequently for everyday Canadians, there’s talk about the federal budget and its impact on our roads, and bridges, and pocketbooks… Also in Ottawa, there were money matters for the Red Chamber and the hope that there might be some class coming back there in the future. We also goodbye (hopefully) to over a half-a-century of hostility with the last enemy of the Cold War, and we say goodbye to a giant of Toronto politics who changed the landscape forever.

Open Sources Show Notes for Thursday March 10, 2016

This week on Open Sources Guelph it’s all Trump, all the time! Did he really make money on selling Trump Shuttle? Is his victory in Ohio and Florida inevitable? Where can we get some Trump Steaks and Trump Vodka? Just kidding. We are going to do our damnedest to make sure that we leave that whole fustercluck south of the border alone for the week, and turn our attention to more pressing things like the environment and rebellion. And did you know that our Prime Minister once boxed a senator? It fascinated a whole lot of Americans. Oh forget it! Let’s get on with the show… Continue reading “Open Sources Show Notes for Thursday March 10, 2016” →

Open Sources Show Notes for Thursday February 18, 2016

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we take a break from American politics to talk about American justice and how that’s affecting American politics. The passing of a man known to be the most passionate and articulate right-wing voice on the bench has added napalm to the crazy fire already burning in this wacko campaign south of the border, so let’s focus on Sunny Ways up north here and how they might be coming to end. We’ll also enjoy a laugh at the expense of a media/government slap fight no one was prepared for, and offer our two cents on local infrastructure priorities.

Open Sources Show Notes for Thursday January 14, 2016

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’ll save a spot, and a thought, for David Bowie, a truly unique individual that spanned the realms of music, movies, fashion and culture in incalculable ways. And like the Man Who Fell to Earth, we will forge our way through an alien world we barely understand and hardly comprehend in order to bring you the best analysis of the week’s news. Right to die, the State of the Union, water issues, and el Chapo all make the cut this week. As they say, the show must go on.

Open Sources Show Notes for Thursday January 7, 2016

We’re back! It’s the beginning of year two on Open Sources Guelph, and the beginning of a new year, and when those two forces combined it makes for a very busy work week indeed. More trouble in the Middle East? Check. Presidential Election talk? Check? Current U.S. President makes last ditch effort for gun control? Check. Nuts that prove the reason why gun control is needed? Check, and double check! Continue reading “Open Sources Show Notes for Thursday January 7, 2016” →

Open Sources Show Notes for Thursday November 19, 2015

In a strange turn of fate, the year on Open Sources Guelph began with an attack on Paris, and as the year winds down, Paris has come under attack again. As the news has buckled under the weight of changing developments, we will also take a look at two homegrown developments, whether a serial killer has the right to sell awful conspiracy/spy fiction, and the struggle for the Royal City to balance the books once again.
