Open Sources (Ep. #371) Show Notes for March 31, 2022

This week on Open Sources Guelph, slap coverage will be kept to a minimum, unless, of course, the topic of a very immature social media post from the Alberta Premier comes up.

Closer to home, one of CFRU’s city councillors will join us to talk about plans of the official variety. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #371) Show Notes for March 31, 2022” →

Open Sources (Ep. #369) Show Notes for March 17, 2022

This week on Open Sources Guelph, contrarian opinions are welcome, and they always will be.

We have to talk about that again, and we will also talk about the race to be Canada’s next Federal Conservative leader, plus, a city councillor stops by for another chat.
