News and Politics with a Local Voice
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re throwing shade. What do you do when you’re in the White House and forced to do a media availability with a crazy person? Make faces at the camera, of course. We’ll talk about Carney’s new place as everyone’s favourite anti-Trump figure, some complicated feelings post-election in Alberta, and then we’ll talk to the man who now formally represented Guelph in the House of Commons.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we are so back! Back on the campaign trail that is!! Yes, there’s now a full-blown federal election across Canada and to kick things off on this show, we’re going to talk about the opening moves by party leaders, the opening faux pas by a provincial leader, and how this election is going to look very different for all the voters in the Royal City no matter what riding they’re in (?).

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’ve got Canadian Tire money to burn. Like Justin Trudeau! Who spent the first day of the first week of the rest of his life pretending he’s a normal guy. As for his successor, he was going stuff this week, while south of the border there’s this guy that keeps talking smack about Canada, and now he’s rounding up people who are using their voices to be critical of foreign powers.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re coming down from election fever, and maybe get ready to catch it once again…(?) Yes, the time has come for a new Liberal leader to be selected, which is its own drama, but nothing compared to the drama in the White House, which is exactly how its main occupant likes it (and the rest of us hate). For the interview this week, we’ve got a two-for-one special! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #508) Show Notes for March 6, 2025”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re not feeling the love. One day before Valentine’s Day, we will dive into some of the biggest news of the day including a crazy person’s plans for one of the most volatile regions on the planet. Back here at home, there’s some concern about post-secondary spending, which is a provincial jurisdiction and that reminds us: We have an other election candidate to talk to!

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re trying to project calm. It was a long weekend as we waited for a certain Florida Man who was inexplicably re-elected as President of the United States to blow up our economy, and we can’t even avail ourselves of healthcare because that’s in a terrible position in Ontario. So, what can we do to fix this? Our guest this week has some ideas and he wants you to elect him again to put them in action! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #505) Show Notes for February 6, 2025”
This week on Open Sources Guelph we’re going to party with our friends. While the party doesn’t stop at Mar-a-Lago, it’s a very different story here in Canada and everywhere else as people await the return of You-Know-Who with something resembling dread, and all while online folks are feigning surprise again that tech billionaires are putting themselves first. Back here at home, we’ve got south end business to discuss with a city councillor! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #502) Show Notes for January 16, 2025”
