News and Politics with a Local Voice
This week on Open Sources Guelph we’re doing a Law & Order riff. With political barbecue season underway, we look to the police beat by talking about potential civil rights violations in a major Ontario prison and the province-wide chain of stores that apparently can sell an illegal product with (near) impunity. Don’t worry, we’ve still got some political chat for you… local politics! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #527) Show Notes for July 10, 2025”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re going dull. You can’t make friends with salad? We disagree! And to help prove that we’re going to get out the scorecards for the first two weeks of business with the new Canadian government and the first year of business for the U.K.’s government. In other news, we’ll go super local looking at one neighbourhood with that area’s council representative! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #522) Show Notes for June 5, 2025”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re making a sad face. Not just about the condition of our New Democratic Party, but also because there’s another flashpoint in the world that’s using violent means to reach violent ends. At least everything local is cool, right? Well, not so fast, because we have another guest from city council who will be stopping by to set us straight.

This week on Open Sources Guelph we get back to normal. No more election talk for at least a year now. Well, maybe a bit more election talk. We will talk about everything we didn’t know on election night and what it means, and then we will get back into the normal work of proctoring developments at the Ontario government and Guelph city council, and on the subject of the latter, we have a guest for that. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #517) Show Notes for May 1, 2025”
This week on Open Sources Guelph we order a side-helping of change and economic concern. The new prime minister and the new-old premier met this week to talk about their common enemy: the crazy person currently occupying the White House. For the other half of the show, we will look to more local concerns with one of the members of city council from the first (in numerical order) ward! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #509) Show Notes for March 13, 2025”
This week on Open Sources Guelph we’re going to party with our friends. While the party doesn’t stop at Mar-a-Lago, it’s a very different story here in Canada and everywhere else as people await the return of You-Know-Who with something resembling dread, and all while online folks are feigning surprise again that tech billionaires are putting themselves first. Back here at home, we’ve got south end business to discuss with a city councillor! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #502) Show Notes for January 16, 2025”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re not done with 2024 yet, and it seems like the year is not done with us! Out of the Middle East this week some good news for a change, or at least some less bad news depending on what’s next. We will also talk about the reaction to a very specific crime on the streets of Manhattan, and closer to home, we’ll have a city councillor do a little year-end recap with us! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #497) Show Notes for December 12, 2024”
