Open Sources (Ep. #559) Show Notes for March 5, 2026

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we get déjà vu. Once again, the United States is at war with a country whose name begins with I-R-A, and so much has happened on this file in the last few days we have to dedicate half a show to it. In the other half, we go local to talk to a Guelph business owner about the issues facing your favourite local restaurants and how using a popular app on your phone might be doing them more harm than good.

Open Sources (Ep. #558) Show Notes for February 26, 2026

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re feasting on news as we leave much of Canada to its own devices for a week. In the United States the continued revelations of a certain dead criminal’s emails are having global implications, and one of the places feeling the heat is inside Westminster, seat of power for the government of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland. As for that criminal’s best friend who’s now President of the United States, he’s got problems too. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #558) Show Notes for February 26, 2026” →

Open Sources (Ep. #552) Show Notes for January 15, 2026

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it’s non-stop controversy only two weeks into the new year. From the United States, just when you thought there was nothing new to get angry about, more state-sponsored violence, and then the international situation is getting even more dicey with new drama in Iran. More locally, we’ve got drama right here in our own backyard concerning daytime shelter services that may or may not be coming.

Open Sources (Ep. #551) Show Notes for January 8, 2026

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we enter the new year like we left the old year: chaotically. For this first episode of the year, we will catch you up with all the news you might have missed either intentionally or on purpose during the holidays, and split into three distinct areas. We will tackle the latest drama south of the border, the travel plans of Canada’s prime minister, and whatever the heck in going on with the leader of Ontario.

Open Sources (Ep. #548) Show Notes for December 18, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re getting our passports ready for a hour-long trip around the world. First, we will go to Australia where holiday celebrations turned to terror, while in this hemisphere it’s looking more and more like a war is coming for one oil rich South American country and you-know-who’s to blame. For the interview, we will talk to one of our federal representatives who definitely has some worldly thoughts of his own.

Open Sources (Ep. #542) Show Notes for November 6, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph we witness history. The good kind. Before heading south of the border to talk about some rare encouraging news (we won’t call it good), we will talk about the latest test for the new Prime Minister and Government of Canada with their first budget. In other news, we will look at a possible schism here in Ontario between two different groups of conservatives who have some very different ideas about what that means.

Open Sources (Ep. #533) Show Notes for September 4, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we catch up on our reading. In this all-news edition of the show, we will learn about the current condo crisis in Canada, and while we’re learning about alliteration, we will talk about literature. In Alberta, they’re taking more lessons from the MAGA movement by making a list of books they hate and checking it twice, and speaking of MAGA, their figurehead may or may not be dead depending on the day.
