Open Sources (Ep. #479) Show Notes for July 25, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we need a drink. Good thing the liquor stores are open again, and to talk about why that is and what the workers in those stores are thinking, we’re joined by one of their union leaders on this episode. Why are we drinking? Drama! So much drama in the U.S. Presidential election this week as the odds changed again, and meanwhile, closer to home, we’ve got some big decisions to make in terms of our own defence.

Open Sources (Ep. #474) Show Notes for June 20, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re beating the heat with hard hitting punditry. To that end, we’re knocking off some of the circus politics to talk about serious issues like foreign interference in our politics and the seemingly increasing gulf between police and reporters while they’re on the job. For the interview this week, we’re talking to one of the newer members of the Ontario legislature about how she’s spending these 120 some-odd days of summer.

Open Sources (Ep. #467) Show Notes for April 18, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re going to have an “orgy of spending.” That’s how one Conservative MP described this year’s federal budget, and we’re going to talk about why, and speaking of elicit sex, we’re going talk about the criminal trial of the former U.S. President. In the back half of the show though we’re going to keep things nice and professional with a future election candidate. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #467) Show Notes for April 18, 2024” →

Open Sources (Ep. #466) Show Notes for April 11, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re still recovering from eclipse fever! More earth-bound matters are our concern this episode, and that means talking another trip to the Middle East to talk about the war inside Gaza, but it also means acknowledging that we’ve got defence problems closer to home too. In the back half of the show, our concern is going to be about work, and the people coming here to work. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #466) Show Notes for April 11, 2024” →

Open Sources (Ep. #462) Show Notes for March 14, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we throw ourselves into international drama. From civil unrest in Haiti, to the ongoing disaster that’s still unfolding – and might yet get worse – in Gaza. Also, there’s a princess missing in England, and can you believe that’s going to be the *last* segment?! Also, closer to home, we’ve got another great government attempt to regulate the internet to discuss. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #462) Show Notes for March 14, 2024” →

Open Sources (Ep. #461) Show Notes for March 7, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re going back to the 80s. The 18th Prime Minister of Canada passed away last week and we will talk about his impact between then and now, and speaking of the 80s, we’ve also got to talk about Trump again. In the back half of the show, there was good news about the pharmacare, and we will try and find some good news for the women out there in advance of their day. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #461) Show Notes for March 7, 2024” →

Open Sources (Ep. #455) Show Notes for December 21, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’ve got one more before Christmas break. On this, the shortest day of the year, we will dig into this epically long strike in Quebec that looks to roll on into the new year, and we will also talk about everyone’s favourite 2023 controversy, which is pronouns. For an additional Christmas present, we will end the year (of interviews) with another conversation with our local Member of Parliament. One of the last… Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #455) Show Notes for December 21, 2023” →
