Open Sources (Ep. #593) Show Notes for November 5, 2026

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we hit the books! First, we will apply our combined knowledge to figure out what’s coming next in Israeli politics, and then we will deal with all the concerns at all levels of education in Ontario now that the provincial government has gotten back to work. And speaking of MPPs working, we will chat again with Guelph’s representative at Queen’s Park about what he’s working on whether the premier likes it or not! (Spoiler: he won’t like it.)

Open Sources (Ep. #539) Show Notes for October 16, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re eating news leftovers. First, we will catch up with the latest develops in Gaza where there’s now a precarious peace, and we will also talk about the early phase of the race to find a new leader for a federal party. For the interview, we engage in another annual fall tradition, the late return to Queen’s Park for another truncated sitting that solves none of our problems.

Open Sources (Ep. #530) Show Notes for July 31, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re getting ready to go on summer vacation, but before that we’ve got some serious business, and in the case of one topic we mean really, really serious. We will once again tackle the ongoing tragedy in Gaza before coming back home to Ontario where education is on the menu again, from your local school board to post-secondary education. Also, we’ll keep the education conversation going with this week’s guest. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #530) Show Notes for July 31, 2025” →

Open Sources (Ep. #524) Show Notes for June 19, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re trying to keep all our paper’s straight. Once again, it was a busy news week as the world came to Canada, or at least the heads of the biggest and most powerful countries did. Also, we get to talk about a new war, apparently because we’ve run out of things to say about the old wars while closer to home, we’ll go back to the Quatro and talk to a member of city council from the west end of the city. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #524) Show Notes for June 19, 2025” →

Open Sources (Ep. #521) Show Notes for May 29, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph we’re talking war and price. No, you read that right. On the war front we’re going back to Gaza where the prospects for peace have not improved, and along with that it’s going to get tougher to express your thoughts on war if you’re protesting in Toronto. As for price, that’s what we’ve got our guest here to talk about as we dig into money matters with an expert. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #521) Show Notes for May 29, 2025” →

Open Sources (Ep. #495) Show Notes for November 28, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we wish we could shake it off. It would be our wildest dream to come on the radio one week and have something normal to talk about, but we knew this was trouble when we saw it cross our newsfeeds this week. We’re going to discuss what happened in Montreal last weekend, an arrest warrant for a controversial world leader, and final thoughts about the 2025 Guelph budget with one of our councillors. Hopefully, no bad blood there. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #495) Show Notes for November 28, 2024” →

Open Sources (Ep. #488) Show Notes for October 10, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re under pressure. We’re now one-year into a war in the Middle East that no one wanted but we’re dealing with it anyway, and here in Canada it’s costing more to hold government agencies to account. If you want to talk about holding governments to account though, you probably want to talk to this week’s guest who might be fighting a losing battle against the Ontario government to keep public land public.
