Open Sources (Ep. #580) Show Notes for July 30, 2026

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re building bridges. And speaking of bridges, we will talk about a famous new bridge down in Windsor, which may now be a monument to the latest phase of the Canada/U.S. trade war. In other news, we will talk about a new study that paints a worrying picture of Canada’s healthcare system (again!), and in the interview we will focus on local matters and the end of the council term with a member of Guelph city council.

Open Sources (Ep. #567) Show Notes for April 30, 2026

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it’s a lot. There was another disaster involving guns in America, but this time the target was some of the most powerful people in the country. Here in Canada, the Premier of B.C. seems to have stepped in a deep puddle with Indigenous people, but perhaps we can find some salvation with a good economy news story? Out special guest this week will help us make sense of that last one. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #567) Show Notes for April 30, 2026” →
