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. #531) Show Notes for August 21, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re back! After taking a midsummer break, we come back with some of your favourite characters from this past season including the buffoonish U.S. President, and our oafish Ontario Premier, and in the third topic, just in time for Labour Day, we’ll have some genuine labour news to get excited about!

Open Sources (Ep. #525) Show Notes for June 26, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph, our hats are on our heads, not in our hands! Our glorious premier stuck his foot in his mouth again, just in time for National Indigenous Heritage Month, and speaking of foot in mouth we’ll talk about the ongoing and confusing state of developments in our newest Mideast quagmire, and in the interview we will talk to an old guest about her new job!

Open Sources (Ep. #523) Show Notes for June 12, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’ve got fighting words. People are riled up here in Ontario about some more bad bills, and people in the U.S. are riled up about another week of living in Trumpland including his most dangerous moves against civil liberties yet. If you’re a Canadian concerned about these things, you might want to listen to this week’s guest because he has some ideas on how to fight back!

Open Sources (Ep. #517) Show Notes for May 1, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph we get back to normal. No more election talk for at least a year now. Well, maybe a bit more election talk. We will talk about everything we didn’t know on election night and what it means, and then we will get back into the normal work of proctoring developments at the Ontario government and Guelph city council, and on the subject of the latter, we have a guest for that. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #517) Show Notes for May 1, 2025” →

Open Sources (Ep. #509) Show Notes for March 13, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph we order a side-helping of change and economic concern. The new prime minister and the new-old premier met this week to talk about their common enemy: the crazy person currently occupying the White House. For the other half of the show, we will look to more local concerns with one of the members of city council from the first (in numerical order) ward!

Open Sources (Ep. #504) Show Notes for January 30, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we have to shake off the winter blahs and get into election mode! Doug Ford has called a snap election in Ontario for incredibly specious reasons, and we will get into that, and we will also get into an election issue that we should be talking about with a special guest expert on the subject. In other news, the federal Liberals are still trying to find a new leader. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #504) Show Notes for January 30, 2025” →
