Open Sources (Ep. #448) Show Notes for November 2, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we come down from the Halloween sugar high. A lot’s been happening on the homefront lately so we will take a break from current affairs in the Middle East and look at Queen’s Park, where the government seems buried under a mound of paper released to the press this week. Speaking of getting buried, we will look at if the federal government has buried itself by revisiting its most controversial piece of legislation. And lastly, we have another city council friend to talk with. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #448) Show Notes for November 2, 2023” →

Open Sources (Ep. #443) Show Notes for September 28, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it all just blew up! It was kind of cruel last week when Ontario’s premier came out and apologized for a two-month old scandal on show day, but it was well-timed for the start of the fall session, which we will talk about on this show. In other news, Parliament Hill was not to be outdone in controversy and if you have “100-year-old Nazi” on your Bingo card, we’ve got good news. And finally, did you know there’s an election in Manitoba right now? Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #443) Show Notes for September 28, 2023” →

Open Sources (Ep. #437) Show Notes for August 17, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re back from summer vacation, and it was nice that everyone waited till the first part of August to launch their biggest scandals. We’re going to talk about one of those on this week’s show, a scandal that intersects with housing, the environment, and government process in what we like to call a trifecta, but in this case we’ll just call Greenbelt-gate. We’ll discuss that, and we’ll talk to a person on the frontline of fighting high rents! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #437) Show Notes for August 17, 2023” →

On the menu today is a variety of topics including a new conflict of interest scandal for the premier, and a new sex scandal for the Mayor of Toronto.
