News and Politics with a Local Voice
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. For the interview, we engage in another annual fall tradition, the late return to Queen’s Park for another truncated sitting that solves none of our problems.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re going to meetings. There’s a big one at U.N. headquarters in New York this week, and Canada sent the new kid to dazzle everyone. Meanwhile, closer to home, Ontario’s opposition parties have been having meetings and in some cases, they’re shaking up the guest list. Even more closer to home, we don’t do meetings, we do protests and marches on a Saturday. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #536) Show Notes for September 25, 2025”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’ve got news overload. It was a tough call determining what to talk about on the show today, but first and foremost we have to separate the wheat from the chaff on the killing of an American pundit.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re getting ready to go on summer vacation, but before that we’ve got some serious business, and in the case of one topic we mean really, really serious. We will once again tackle the ongoing tragedy in Gaza before coming back home to Ontario where education is on the menu again, from your local school board to post-secondary education. Also, we’ll keep the education conversation going with this week’s guest. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #530) Show Notes for July 31, 2025”
This week on Open Sources Guelph we’re doing a Law & Order riff. With political barbecue season underway, we look to the police beat by talking about potential civil rights violations in a major Ontario prison and the province-wide chain of stores that apparently can sell an illegal product with (near) impunity. Don’t worry, we’ve still got some political chat for you… local politics! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #527) Show Notes for July 10, 2025”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, our hats are on our heads, not in our hands! Our glorious premier stuck his foot in his mouth again, just in time for National Indigenous Heritage Month, and speaking of foot in mouth we’ll talk about the ongoing and confusing state of developments in our newest Mideast quagmire, and in the interview we will talk to an old guest about her new job!
