This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re at the end of September. Well that went fast. Advanced voting starts next weekend, so you will finally be able to take advantage of all this work to get to know the council candidates, and in this episode you’re going to get to know five more. For the past couple of weeks we’ve mostly focused on the even-numbered wards, and this week we’re focusing on the odd… wards.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we continue our journey on the election trail with another trip around the ward map.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re thinking charitably. The Pope is coming, so we’re going to put away our sinful ways and talk about his visit, plus the pressing need to take desperate action on housing in Canada. In the back half of the show, we will talk about the local effects of the housing crisis, and other matters, with the head of Guelph’s city council, none other than Mayor Cam Guthrie!

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we get back into the swamp. We go back south of the border to talk again about the long corruptible coattails of Donald Trump, and we will also take some time to catch up with the latest from the Conservative leadership race here in Canada. For the second half of the show, we will say an official goodbye to another Friend of OSG who’s decided to retire from politics. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #381) Show Notes for June 16, 2022”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we get to finally unleash our pent up election frustration. The Ontario campaign is finally underway, and we will talk about the stakes before we get a chance to talk to the candidates. We will also, for obvious reasons, have an update about the war in Ukraine. In the back half of the show, a Guelph city councillor might be making his final appearance as a Friend of OSG.
