News and Politics with a Local Voice
This week on Open Sources Guelph we’re trying to avoid talking about You-Know-Who, but it’s so very hard! Instead, we will talk around him by looking at at the Liberals who want to match wits with the new regime in Washington and their first major geopolitical challenge in the Middle East. In the interview, we’re going to talk to one of the people that wants to be a part of the next government no matter who leads it!

This week on Open Sources Guelph we violate our New Year’s Resolution to have less drama! Canada’s prime minister apparently had other ideas though by kicking off the week, and the year, with a big announcement that we have to cover. In other news, Pickering city council is making news in all the ways you never do, and for our interview this week, we’ll return focus to Ottawa by talking to someone who works there.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’ve got a lot going on. There are two elections happening in Canada right now, and probably not the ones you expect. Meanwhile, Israel’s war is expanding to Hezbollah now as they launch attacks both big and small around the regions, just in time for the start of another October.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re going to have an “orgy of spending.” That’s how one Conservative MP described this year’s federal budget, and we’re going to talk about why, and speaking of elicit sex, we’re going talk about the criminal trial of the former U.S. President. In the back half of the show though we’re going to keep things nice and professional with a future election candidate. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #467) Show Notes for April 18, 2024”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we realize that it’s always darkest just before Halloween. At least that’s what it seems like when we open social media or a news app on our phone. We’ve got a full slate of political news for you from the latest in the Middle East and the frontlines in Israel to the battle lines in Queen’s Park. And then, we go to Saskatchewan where there was some constitutional experimentation, and speaking of experimenting, might Guelph be flirting with the blue team?!

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re a four quadrant success. We’re going local, provincial, national and international with the news this week, and this is what we’re talking about in no particular order: There’s a new map of Guelph and you may not like it in the south end, patronage is back in Ontario, the prime minister hopes that new cabinet faces will solve all his problems, and Florida Man is still being Florida Man. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #436) Show Notes for July 27, 2023”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re in a summer mood, but there’s no time to relax because there’s a lot going on! First, we have to talk about the loud and growing group of people that want to deny history, and speaking of history, might Toronto be on the brink of electing its first female immigrant person of colour mayor? We’re not here to tell the future, but our local MPP will be here to talk about the recent past in the interview. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #431) Show Notes for June 22, 2023”
