Open Sources (Ep. #441) Show Notes for September 14, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re bring it home! The news that is. Of course, that’s also the new catchphrase for the all-new, all-different Conservative Party who had a very newsy policy meeting in Quebec City last week. A little to the west in Ottawa, a couple of people once supported by the new leader of the Conservatives are now on trial, and we will discuss that too before finding an Ontario mayor not named ‘Guthrie’ to fill our interview slot this week.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re not back at school but we’re still looking for an education.

Open Sources (Ep. #437) Show Notes for August 17, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re back from summer vacation, and it was nice that everyone waited till the first part of August to launch their biggest scandals. We’re going to talk about one of those on this week’s show, a scandal that intersects with housing, the environment, and government process in what we like to call a trifecta, but in this case we’ll just call Greenbelt-gate. We’ll discuss that, and we’ll talk to a person on the frontline of fighting high rents! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #437) Show Notes for August 17, 2023” →

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re a four quadrant success.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re in a summer mood, but there’s no time to relax because there’s a lot going on!

Open Sources (Ep. #422) Show Notes for April 20, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we meet some characters. Did you know that four dozen people want to be the next mayor of Toronto? Perhaps they’re all animated by the potential fate of the Toronto waterfront, which is once again in the news. Some of them would likely find good company with Elon Musk who has no problem finding strange bedfellows, and speaking of strange bedfellows we need to talk about Fox News. What a week to talk smack about the news! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #422) Show Notes for April 20, 2023” →

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re feeling the love. Yes, it’s two days after Valentine’s Day technically, but the love for covering hot button issues and concerning political trends burns strong. On the menu today is a variety of topics including a new conflict of interest scandal for the premier, and a new sex scandal for the Mayor of Toronto. Abroad, we will look at the latest developments around a year-long war, and the same old same old from the death cult that now runs the American legislature.
