News and Politics with a Local Voice
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re reminded that the history of this show is haunted by an orange-coloured goon in a Florida beach club.

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. Our provincial government seems stuck on bail reform, while our greatest Christmas parade is just strapped… for cash. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #494) Show Notes for November 21, 2024”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re keeping things provincial.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re bummed. Our long weekend plans collapsed like so much roofing that may or may not be a threat to some school kids on a class trip! Fortunately, there is lots of news and politics to chew on including surprise closures of tourist attractions, a surprising electoral victory and even a not-so-surprising one out west. As for the rest of the show, we’ve called the police, and they’re here to talk!! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #475) Show Notes for June 27, 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.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we don’t take the law into our own hands, we go to court with some popcorn. On this episode, many of our news items intersect with justice matters as we talk about the deportation of a national pariah, the trial of a serial killer, a plea deal for a would-be mass murderer, and the unexpected result of a corruption trial in the U.S. Also, because a week can’t go by without him sticking his foot in his mouth, we’ll talk about Ontario’s Premier.
