This week on Open Sources Guelph, we have to shake off the winter blahs and get into election mode!

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.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, there’s a lot to figure out. South of the border, does it matter who won the vice-presidential debate?

Also, we’re going to have more tunnel talk with a special guest who knows about real solutions for congestion. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #487) Show Notes for October 3, 2024”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re back! We’re done with our usual summer vacation and we’re eager to hop back on the never ending news cycle to talk about all things breaking and unbreaking. Here in Ontario, there was a big meeting of all the municipalities this week in Ottawa, and abroad in eastern Europe there was a big move in the war happening there. For the interview this week, we’re also talking about a big move, a move that someone’s trying to make happen right here at home.

On this episode, many of our news items intersect with justice matters as we talk about the deportation of a national pariah, the trial of a serial killer, a plea deal for a would-be mass murderer, and the unexpected result of a corruption trial in the U.S. Also, because a week can’t go by without him sticking his foot in his mouth, we’ll talk about Ontario’s Premier.
