Open Sources (Ep. #423) Show Notes for April 27, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re caught between the picket line and the receiving line. You may have heard that there’s a strike going on right now, so we will talk about the labour issues therein, and after that we go to the other side and the crowning of a king, which apparently we’re not all excited about. In the second half, we’re going to talk about the future, and the past, with a member of Guelph City Council. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #423) Show Notes for April 27, 2023” →

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we make the perfect call… to cover some recent news! Speaking of calls, we will talk about ruining your election chances with a last minute ethics investigation, and, in more serious news, we will talk about the struggle to get someone to make the call to protect women in the Winnipeg area.

Open Sources (Ep. #418) Show Notes for March 23, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we mark a grim milestone. You see the smiley, happy man with the thumb up in the picture above, well he’s responsible for what might end up being the biggest foreign policy debacle of the 21st century, and the century was barely three years old when it happened. On this episode, we’re marking the 20th anniversary of the start of the Iraq War, and we’re also going to talk about other fights closer to home, like housing, and we’ve got a city council guest to talk about it.

Open Sources (Ep. #414) Show Notes for February 23, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we go back into the shadows. In the realm of extremism and conspiracy theories it was a rough week because one year after the Freedom Convoy it turns out that the government was right to use the Emergencies Act after all. That’s okay though, because we’re found the real cause of all our problems, and you will never guess what it is! For the interview, we’re talking to a local city councillor about more down-to-Earth issues. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #414) Show Notes for February 23, 2023” →

Open Sources (Ep. #411) Show Notes for February 2, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it’s Groundhog Day! This week on Open Sources Guelph, it’s Groundhog Day! Now that we’ve got that out of our system, let’s talk about what we’re doing on this week’s show. First, we will talk about a recently passed Ontario politician and the parts of her career most people aren’t talking about, and then we will talk about the very sad sequel to last year’s biggest blockbuster protest. For the interview? We’re going to have some municipal money talk. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #411) Show Notes for February 2, 2023” →

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 (Ep. #408) Show Notes for January 5, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph we’re back at work! That was a nice holiday break but the news doesn’t stop, even though we do (for a time). So on this show, we’re catching up with the crazy politics of the United States, which did not take a holiday break, and we will catch up with the War in Ukraine because there was no holiday break there either. For the interview this week, we will finish up our round of interviews with the new city councillors by chatting with the new guy representing Ward 6.
