This week on Open Sources Guelph, we continue our journey on the election trail with another trip around the ward map. It’s been a long September (nor December like the Counting Crows song), but we’ve collected another quintet of candidates for this new episode of the show including a couple of people running Ward 2, a visitor from the west end, and a couple of runners from wards south of the river.

It’s been a pretty consequential week for anyone that wants to see You-Know-Who held to account, and speaking of losers, we will talk about all the ways that some people are making life harder for all our LGBTQ2+ friends.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it’s time to get back to normal. Following Election Day (and our Election Night special) we will take a broader look at the provincial results and talk about where we go from here, and then we will catch up with recent developments in Ukraine, where there is still a battle for control of the country. In the back half of the show: You know him, you love him, and you just re-elected him! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #380) Show Notes for June 9, 2022”

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re flying the yellow and blue. We’re heading back to Ukraine to talk about the latest war developments and the refugee crisis, and we’re going to talk about the local response with the head of Guelph’s Ukrainian Catholic Church.
