Open Sources (Ep. #544) Show Notes for November 20, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re thinking globally and poding locally. Environmental issues are on our minds this week as we tackle a new pair of interviews, first with a delegate at the annual climate conference where there’s so much hope for an organized action on climate change, and then, closer to home, we will talk to the Green Progressive that wants to make fighting climate change the backbone of a new political union.

Open Sources (Ep. #494) Show Notes for November 21, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re stuck in the middle with you. If you’re feeling stuck, you’re not alone and it’s safe to say that the entire government apparatus at all levels seem stuck these days. This edition of a show will be a recital of being stuck, from gridlock in Ottawa to impasses at the annual international climate change summit. Our provincial government seems stuck on bail reform, while our greatest Christmas parade is just strapped… for cash. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #494) Show Notes for November 21, 2024” →

Open Sources (Ep. #476) Show Notes for July 4, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re dealing with disappointment. Was it wrong to hope that an 81-year-old man would find the energy at 9 pm on a weeknight to argue with a sociopath for two hours? Maybe, but then again it’s hard for leaders half that age to avoid calls to leave out the side door, at least that is what’s going on our own capital. In terms of good news, we’re going to talk to a community group that is literally making it a cool summer for low income people in Hamilton.

Open Sources (Ep. #438) Show Notes for August 24, 2023

This weekend on Open Sources Guelph, we go from one mess to another. We will look at the political fight to make progress on fighting climate change, and then we will look at the fight to hold Donald Trump to account as he’s arrested again in an entirely different jurisdiction. And finally, for the interview this week, we will talk to a person that’s fighting the good fight on the drug poisoning crisis on our community ahead of a very special occasion.

Open Sources (Ep. #434) Show Notes for July 13, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, things get awkward. It’s hard enough to criticize your political enemies, but what happens when you criticize your friends and then you have to fly off to Europe and see them face to face? That’s one question this week, and another question is how concerned we should be about a mosquito-borne disease that’s making a local-ish comeback? In the second half of the show, we will hear from the woman who hopes to hold on to a nearby riding for team orange. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #434) Show Notes for July 13, 2023” →

Open Sources (Ep. #401) Show Notes for November 17, 2022

This week on Open Sources Guelph we’re going to undermine the show we’ve put so much time and energy into. All the kids are doing self-destruction these days, whether that’s governments failing on climate action, or a certain billionaire failing with business management. We’re going to talk about that, and then we’ll talk to someone who isn’t failing, one of the new Guelph city councillors. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #401) Show Notes for November 17, 2022” →

Open Sources (Ep. #354) Show Notes for December 2, 2021

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re taking a dive into the deep end. We’ve got a new COVID variant and a lot of unanswered questions, and with that sad news, we’re also seeing a new wave of COVID skepticism and conspiracy-making, and it’s unfortunately coming from Canada’s Queen (?). Also, we will talk to some Guelph royalty, the Ward 2 city councillor and local rock star whose got some important issues to discuss.
