Open Sources (Ep. #440) Show Notes for September 7, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re not back at school but we’re still looking for an education. With this episode, we’re trying to get smarter about Greenbelt-gate, which had a number of big developments in the last several days, and a new mass protest based on conspiracy theories that has us worried. For the interview this week, we go to Ward 3 where one of the councillors from Guelph’s north end will talk about the fall sitting of the horseshoe at City Hall.

Open Sources (Ep. #435) Show Notes for July 20, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we don’t do summer fun, we do serious issues. One the one hand, there’s a refugee crisis in Toronto that no one has an explanation for, and on the other hand you have a presidential candidate saying crazy things, and you can’t call him a Republican this time. We’re serious on local news too, and one of our friends from city council is stopping by to lend a first-person view on big issues facing our city hall right now.

Open Sources (Ep. #430) Show Notes for June 15, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re looking for reading material. Let’s go to the bathroom where, naturally, you keep all your state secrets! Speaking of secrets we’ll talk about the ongoing efforts to wrap our head around election interference in the last two Canadian elections, and then we’ll head to the U.S. where a certain Florida Man is making trouble again.

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. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #418) Show Notes for March 23, 2023” →

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” →
