Open Sources (Ep. #578) Show Notes for July 16, 2026

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we… [coughcoughcough]! Ugh! This air is just [cough]! I mean really you can’t [coughcough]! without [coughcoughcough]! Yes, the air is bad, but then again, so is the news. We’re heading back to Iran, and then we’re heading back to Alberta for our first showdown with data centres. And if we can spare the air, we will spend the second half of the show talking to a Farmer who has some Climate Solutions! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #578) Show Notes for July 16, 2026” →

Open Sources (Ep. #574) Show Notes for June 18, 2026

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we make deals, or rather we just deal with it. In the first half, we will talk about the deal with the federal government’s attempt to rein in the excesses of big tech and why the war in Iran might finally be over, or not. In the second half, we’ve got a member of Guelph city council who’s going to talk about the deal with the very busy meetings last week at city hall and some of the town’s favourite controversies!

Open Sources (Ep. #568) Show Notes for May 7, 2026

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re straining to do some explaining. How can you make sense of the news when the news barely makes sense? This is going to be really put to the test this week as we get into the ups and downs of the War in Iran, and then we will turn our attention to this race to referendum in Alberta. Maybe things closer to home will be easier to understand and we have a guest that will help us do that. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #568) Show Notes for May 7, 2026” →

Open Sources (Ep. #564) Show Notes for April 9, 2026

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we recover from the Easter weekend. See the guy in this picture with the Easter Bunny? He made it very hard to relax with some very vivid saber-rattling over the pointless war he started in the Middle East. Closer to home, we will talk about trains and plans for trains, plus the attack on the newest federal leader that might indicate a greater degree of confusion in the discourse.

Open Sources (Ep. #560) Show Notes for March 12, 2026

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re still thinking about war and peace. There’s a lot of the former, which makes the latter seem rather fleeting, but if you’re confused about what you’re seeing on the news, or in your social media feed, imagine how the leaders of American and Canada’s governments are feeling. We will catch up on the situation in Iran, and then we will catch up on the situation coming to Queen’s Park with our special guest!

Open Sources (Ep. #559) Show Notes for March 5, 2026

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we get déjà vu. Once again, the United States is at war with a country whose name begins with I-R-A, and so much has happened on this file in the last few days we have to dedicate half a show to it. In the other half, we go local to talk to a Guelph business owner about the issues facing your favourite local restaurants and how using a popular app on your phone might be doing them more harm than good.
