News and Politics with a Local Voice
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re walking our beat. To begin with we’ve got eyes on potential corruption in Toronto-area police services, and then we’ll be taking a couple of our biggest political leaders aside to see how much they’re colluding together to get us back to the polls. And speaking of polls, we will talk to someone presently running for office, in fact, you might say that they want to be a leader.

This week on Open Sources Guelph we have doubts. In Alberta, we’re really skeptical about the ability of the ones that want to separate, and in the U.S. we’re have regret about writing off some people as cranks in the wake of some very scandalous revelations. For the interview, we have doubts that anyone is thinking about the most vulnerable students in Ontario and our guest this week thinks so too.

This week on Open Sources Guelph things are not going according to plan. From Queen’s Park to Parliament Hill, our provincial and federal governments are missing the goal posts and are facing some rather harsh scrutiny. And speaking of scrutiny, we will talk to one of our city councillors about making the tough decisions that you probably didn’t like about next year’s city budget.

This week on Open Sources Guelph we work hard, but not as hard as the Ontario government, which is trying to do a year’s worth of legislating in seven week or (likely) less. And since we’re talking about provincial politics, we will head out east where there’s a new Progressive Conservative government in charge for the first time in a decade. Closer to home, we will welcome a local councillor who’s warming up her calculator app. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #540) Show Notes for October 23, 2025”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re eating news leftovers. First, we will catch up with the latest develops in Gaza where there’s now a precarious peace, and we will also talk about the early phase of the race to find a new leader for a federal party.
