Open Sources (Ep. #414) Show Notes for February 23, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we go back into the shadows. In the realm of extremism and conspiracy theories it was a rough week because one year after the Freedom Convoy it turns out that the government was right to use the Emergencies Act after all. That’s okay though, because we’re found the real cause of all our problems, and you will never guess what it is! For the interview, we’re talking to a local city councillor about more down-to-Earth issues. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #414) Show Notes for February 23, 2023” →

Open Sources (Ep. #402) Show Notes for November 24, 2022

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re going to play the beautiful game: Amateur political punditry! In that context, we’re also going to talk about all the issues around that other game being played on the world stage this week, and we’re also going to talk about the national stage and the latest moves at a certain inquiry, plus the local stage with another new city councillor who’ll talk about a very big first meeting.

Open Sources (Ep. #399) Show Notes for November 3, 2022

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re going to talk about some of our favourite characters. The latest hearings in the Emergencies Act inquiry brought out a lot of famous names from the Freedom Convoy, and they we’ll dip south of the border to catch up with some long forgotten friends there. In the back half, we’ll have to say a surprise goodbye to a frequent friend of the show who was just voted out. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #399) Show Notes for November 3, 2022” →

Open Sources (Ep. #398) Show Notes for October 27, 2022

With the election over, the format is getting back to normal at least with two news items and an interview. This week, we’re talking about the inquiry into the Emergencies Act, and the still relatively new government in Queen’s Park, plus we will have an interview with an outgoing member of city council about a job well done.

Open Sources (Ep. #366) Show Notes for February 24, 2022

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re in search of peace. There’s some of that in Ottawa now, but it’s by no means a guarantee that it’s going to last, which is why we’re dedicating the first half to the show to the Freedom Convoy fallout. Elsewhere, we’re looking at Schrödinger’s war in Ukraine, plus the unofficial kick-off of the 2022 Ontario Provincial Election (though it’s really just the start of the new legislative session).

Open Sources (Ep. #365) Show Notes for February 17, 2022

This week, Open Sources Guelph is going back to the convoy. Brace yourselves. A lot has changed since we last talked about the politics of these anti-mandate protests, and all levels of government have given us a lot to chew on these last few days. So there’s that, plus we will talk about the hate and scorn cast against the Canadian media. For the second half of the show, Mike Schreiner’s back just as you knew he would be.
