This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re still waiting for the writs, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t any news. It’s another four-topic week as we mark the passing of an Ontario political giant and more dire warnings about climate change in the first half, and then, in the second half, we’re going to look internationally with the new authoritarian superstar, and more Olympic politics as we switch from summer to winter.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’ve got leadership issues.

In the back half, we welcome, perhaps, our most prestigious guest yet, Ontario’s Official Opposition leader! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #336) Show Notes for July 22, 2021”
