Open Sources (Ep. #541) Show Notes for October 30, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re getting more literate. While we go to air on the eve of All Hallow’s Eve, the only think that’s really haunting is the growing threat of misinformation so good it’s hard to tell the difference between what’s fake and what’s real. We will talk to someone who has some ideas about how to fight it, but before that we will hear from a member of city council who himself is being haunted… By the numbers in the budget.

Open Sources (Ep. #540) Show Notes for October 23, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph we work hard, but not as hard as the Ontario government, which is trying to do a year’s worth of legislating in seven week or (likely) less. And since we’re talking about provincial politics, we will head out east where there’s a new Progressive Conservative government in charge for the first time in a decade. Closer to home, we will welcome a local councillor who’s warming up her calculator app. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #540) Show Notes for October 23, 2025” →

Open Sources (Ep. #495) Show Notes for November 28, 2024


This week on Open Sources Guelph, we wish we could shake it off. It would be our wildest dream to come on the radio one week and have something normal to talk about, but we knew this was trouble when we saw it cross our newsfeeds this week. We’re going to discuss what happened in Montreal last weekend, an arrest warrant for a controversial world leader, and final thoughts about the 2025 Guelph budget with one of our councillors. Hopefully, no bad blood there. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #495) Show Notes for November 28, 2024” →

Open Sources (Ep. #493) Show Notes for November 14, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re doing some real analysis. Look at that picture above, are you scared? Sick? Shocked? Disappointed? All of the above? Then this week’s show might be of some interest as we try to dissect the most recent American election for something usable going forward. Closer to home, we’re talking to a member of city council about this year’s unusual budget process. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #493) Show Notes for November 14, 2024” →

Open Sources (Ep. #490) Show Notes for October 24, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re keeping things provincial. We’re going around the country to talk about the latest news coming out Queen’s Park now that the government is back at work there, and then we’re going to check out the new provincial governments who will take their seats in Fredericton and Victoria. For the interview this week, we’re keeping things in Guelph where one of our local councillors is going to talk about gas!

Open Sources (Ep. #410) Show Notes for January 19, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph it’s Blue Thursday, the saddest Thursday of the week. To celebrate, we’re going to talk about the Code Blue in our healthcare system that Ontario’s inglorious premier thinks he’s solved, and then we’re going to talk about some issues around Toronto’s men and women in blue, the members of its police service. But it’s not all depressing because we’ve brought in an old friend to talk about all the math city council will be doing next week!

Open Sources Show Notes for December 3, 2020

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we happily take a break from the dramedy in the United States and the insanity of Toronto barbecue joints. In this edition, we’re going to talk about the politics of requisitioning the vaccine, and the politics of the appointment of Ontario’s most important health official. After that, we’ll talk about more local matters with one of the Ward 1 City Councillors who helped make some pretty big (local) news of his own this week.
