News and Politics with a Local Voice
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.

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, there’s a lot to figure out. South of the border, does it matter who won the vice-presidential debate? We’re going to find out, and we’re also going to find out if anything’s really changed after all this time when it comes to Truth and Reconciliation with our Indigenous communities in recent years. 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.
