Open Sources (Ep. #538) Show Notes for October 9, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re thankful that dysfunction is a national phenomenon. We will head out west where there is inter-party friction in British Columbia’s official opposition, and then we will look at a dispute between teachers and a provincial government in an entirely different part of the country. In even more serious news, we will mark the second anniversary of a devastating war by talking about the people covering it.

Open Sources (Ep. #486) Show Notes for September 26, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’ve got a lot going on. There are two elections happening in Canada right now, and probably not the ones you expect. Meanwhile, Israel’s war is expanding to Hezbollah now as they launch attacks both big and small around the regions, just in time for the start of another October. For the interview, we’ve got our local Member of Provincial Parliament who’s still trying to stay on top of the premier’s recent colour commentary.

Open Sources (Ep. #469) Show Notes for May 2, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we reconnect with our roots. It’s been a busy week for student protests and campus shutdowns, and it’s not escaped media attention, but getting less media attention is B.C.’s move to re-criminalize drugs, which may be a big step backwards. As always, this media is focused on local, and we will talk to a city councillor that maybe making a move from local to national.

Open Sources Show Notes for September 24, 2020

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it’s a jam-packed news week, and there’s a lot of ground to cover. In Ottawa, the government is trying to avoid an election, but the truth is that everybody wants to avoid an election because the number of COVID cases are going up at alarming rates again. And speaking of elections, a new wrench was thrown into the U.S. Election, and since that looks like its so much fun, the Premier of B.C. seems to have decided he’d like to see an election too.

Open Sources Show Notes for Thursday May 23, 2019

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re going to try and look past the usual suspects to get at some of the under reported stories in the news this week. Among them, we’ll look at an official investigation into money laundering, and a key turn of phrase that’s a giant step forward in dealing with out racist past. Speaking of racism, that’s still a thing, and a couple of people in Canada are doing their best to bring it back, while some American states are trying to bring back their own dark past for women’s rights.

Open Sources Show Notes for Thursday January 10, 2019

Welcome back to this crazy year already in progress, and an all-new year of Open Sources Guelph! Unfortunately, the news didn’t take a break, so there’s a lot of stuff to catch up on, like the government shutdown south of the border. In Canada, we’ll talk about whether carbon tax and electoral reform have a future here, and in our last segment this week, Scotty talks to a kindred spirit.

Open Sources Show Notes for Thursday November 1, 2018

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it might get ugly. We’re coming off a very bad week south of the border, and it only seems to promise to get worse if you-know-who has his say. Worse still, that style of politics seems to be spreading, so we’ll make a pit stop in Brazil before heading home where fighting action on climate change has become a way to bring the country together it seems. We’ll also play catch-up with what will hopefully be a more positive development in democracy. Continue reading “Open Sources Show Notes for Thursday November 1, 2018” →
