This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re trying to project calm.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re stuck in the middle with you. If you’re feeling stuck, you’re not alone and it’s safe to say that the entire government apparatus at all levels seem stuck these days. This edition of a show will be a recital of being stuck, from gridlock in Ottawa to impasses at the annual international climate change summit.

In the spirit of learning and continuing education we will open our minds and exercise our takes by tackling the big news stories of the week including a return trip to the Middle East where war and peace continues to be top of mind, and then there’s matters of immigration making the headlines here in Canada. More locally than that, we will talk about recent changes to government policy on safe consumption sites. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #483) Show Notes for September 5, 2024”
