For the interview, we’ve got our local Member of Provincial Parliament who’s still trying to stay on top of the premier’s recent colour commentary.

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.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we don’t take the law into our own hands, we go to court with some popcorn.

Open Sources (Ep. #468) Show Notes for April 25, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we mark Earth Week by discussing some of the news that happened on this planet. We will travel from Washington D.C. to Kiev where there’s finally some good news in that war effort, but it’s just too bad that there wasn’t any good news when it comes to funding our regional transit system.
