News and Politics with a Local Voice
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re at the end of September. Well that went fast. Advanced voting starts next weekend, so you will finally be able to take advantage of all this work to get to know the council candidates, and in this episode you’re going to get to know five more. For the past couple of weeks we’ve mostly focused on the even-numbered wards, and this week we’re focusing on the odd… wards.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we start September with a countdown to another Election Day. For the next several weeks, we will be highlighting the people running for office locally, which is good news for you, the listener, because you’re going to hear less from Adam and Scotty.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, contrarian opinions are welcome, and they always will be. Wish we could say that was true in Russia, which is doing everything it can to convince its people that they are not in an aggressive war against Ukraine.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we think globally and act locally. We will talk about that gathering of world leaders in Scotland trying to solve climate change, or at least that’s what they say, and closer to home, the Canadian government is still taking Indigenous people to court. In terms of acting locally, we will talk to the head of Guelph Campaign School about running for something next year. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #350) Show Notes for November 4, 2021”
The original April Fools are back this week with another episode of Open Sources Guelph. We would love to spend the hour making jokes and pulling pranks, but there’s some serious stuff to talk about. We will look at the ever changing pandemic response provincially, and the growing trend of Anti-Asian hate that’s even affected our community. After the break, it’s back to the patio with another Guelph city councillor. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #320) Show Notes for April 1, 2021”
