News and Politics with a Local Voice
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.

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.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re doing some real analysis. Look at that picture above, are you scared? Sick? Shocked? Disappointed? All of the above? Then this week’s show might be of some interest as we try to dissect the most recent American election for something usable going forward. Closer to home, we’re talking to a member of city council about this year’s unusual budget process. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #493) Show Notes for November 14, 2024”
This week on Open Sources Guelph we’re in a recovery phase. On Tuesday, we saw the end of an epically long election that had more ups and downs than the scariest roller coaster, and hopefully there will be some solid results to discuss. Closer to home, we will look at the latest non-solution to Ontario’s homeless crisis and the latest unfounded attack on Canada’s trans community from the likeliest source.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re dealing with our Trump Derangement Syndrome. One more week till the vote’s over in the United States, and there’s a lot to catch up on. The vote is already over in Saskatchewan, but there’s a new one brewing in Nova Scotia to talk about. More locally, international students are getting a lot of blame, but we’re talking to someone who says that they really need our assistance.
