Open Sources (Ep. #502) Show Notes for January 16, 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!

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. #482) Show Notes for August 29, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re getting our bearings. In this late summer mode, we’re looking to the coming election south of the border and the constantly changing game there, meanwhile on this side of the border the Federal Liberals are hoping that they have enough juice to change their own game. Meanwhile, here in Guelph, the game is “musical chairs” and the players are Guelph city council and community members experiencing homelessness.

Open Sources (Ep. #469) Show Notes for May 2, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we reconnect with our roots. It’s been a busy week for student protests and campus shutdowns, and it’s not escaped media attention, but getting less media attention is B.C.’s move to re-criminalize drugs, which may be a big step backwards. As always, this media is focused on local, and we will talk to a city councillor that maybe making a move from local to national.
