Open Sources (Ep. #529) Show Notes for July 24, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph everybody is fighting! Our national and provincial leaders are gathered to strategize and fight back in a trade war, while the leader of the opposition (in exile) is fighting for his political life so that he can get back into the national debate. Meanwhile, we will talk to an area Indigenous leader who’s helping to lead the fight against legislation they got no say in by taking two different levels of government to court. Can’t we all just get along?! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #529) Show Notes for July 24, 2025” →

Open Sources (Ep. #525) Show Notes for June 26, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph, our hats are on our heads, not in our hands! Our glorious premier stuck his foot in his mouth again, just in time for National Indigenous Heritage Month, and speaking of foot in mouth we’ll talk about the ongoing and confusing state of developments in our newest Mideast quagmire, and in the interview we will talk to an old guest about her new job!

Open Sources (Ep. #487) Show Notes for October 3, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, there’s a lot to figure out. South of the border, does it matter who won the vice-presidential debate? We’re going to find out, and we’re also going to find out if anything’s really changed after all this time when it comes to Truth and Reconciliation with our Indigenous communities in recent years. Also, we’re going to have more tunnel talk with a special guest who knows about real solutions for congestion. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #487) Show Notes for October 3, 2024” →

Open Sources (Ep. #473) Show Notes for June 13, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we won’t say that democracy doesn’t work, but it certainly seems to be malfunctioning. We will look to our friends in the EU who seem to be increasingly embracing authoritarianism, but things aren’t too rosy on our own shores where a beleaguered Indigenous community here in Ontario has to take the government to court to get action. For the interview this week – and don’t hate us – we’re talking about landlord issues with a landlord. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #473) Show Notes for June 13, 2024” →

Open Sources (Ep. #431) Show Notes for June 22, 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” →

Open Sources (Ep. #386) Show Notes for July 21, 2022

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! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #386) Show Notes for July 21, 2022” →

Open Sources (Ep. #382) Show Notes for June 23, 2022

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we consider change. Out of Toronto there was a report about policing that proved the worst case scenario, but will those numbers make a distance? Also, might this be the last session of the Canadian government led by the current prime minister? Some people think it’s possible. In the back half? We will work through some change of our own by talking to some local Indigenous voices. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #382) Show Notes for June 23, 2022” →
