Open Sources (Ep. #579) Show Notes for July 23, 2026

This week on Open Sources Guelph we get suave. There’s always controversy to be had in these late summer months and no one does controversy bigger than the Ontario government and this one might be their biggest blunder yet. Meanwhile in London, the prime minister hopes to avoid controversy with effectiveness, but can he succeed? As for the interview, it’s going to be lit because we’re talking to a expert on wildfires for some very timely insights. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #579) Show Notes for July 23, 2026”

Open Sources (Ep. #578) Show Notes for July 16, 2026

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we… [coughcoughcough]! Ugh! This air is just [cough]! I mean really you can’t [coughcough]! without [coughcoughcough]! Yes, the air is bad, but then again, so is the news. We’re heading back to Iran, and then we’re heading back to Alberta for our first showdown with data centres. And if we can spare the air, we will spend the second half of the show talking to a Farmer who has some Climate Solutions! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #578) Show Notes for July 16, 2026”

Open Sources (Ep. #577) Show Notes for July 9, 2026

This week on Open Sources Guelph we’re maximizing profit. We’re just following in the fine example of Canada’s governments with all the money we’re putting into pipelines, and all the money were spending supporting big league soccer. We’re maybe not so sure if we can make money off of dissecting incel culture, but after a thousand years, it and other regressive positions have got to be showing a profit by now, right? Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #577) Show Notes for July 9, 2026”

Open Sources (Ep. #572) Show Notes for June 4, 2026

This week on Open Sources Guelph we boogey! And yet, there’s not much time to celebrate because the news keeps on coming. We will see who won the B.C. Conservative leadership race and talk about what the next steps, and then we will look at a certain prime minister’s weak spot when it comes to a very green issue. Closer to home, we have a guest from Guelph city council to talk about, among other things, the next council. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #572) Show Notes for June 4, 2026”

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. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #544) Show Notes for November 20, 2025”

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.
