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.

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.

Open Sources (Ep. #350) Show Notes for November 4, 2021

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” →

Open Sources (Ep. #339) Show Notes for August 12, 2021

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re still waiting for the writs, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t any news. It’s another four-topic week as we mark the passing of an Ontario political giant and more dire warnings about climate change in the first half, and then, in the second half, we’re going to look internationally with the new authoritarian superstar, and more Olympic politics as we switch from summer to winter.

Open Sources (Ep. #334) Show Notes for July 8, 2021

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we bring you some good news and some bad news. We start with bad news and more signs of the growing climate catastrophe, but there is some good news on the Indigenous file after weeks of basically terrible news. However, to end the show, we go back to the bad in U.S. politics where alternate realities continue to collide half-a-year after everything should have changed.
