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.

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. #453) Show Notes for December 7, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, are we even real? Maybe this show has been one, big nine-year conspiracy. Not that we’re trying to put thoughts in your head, but it turns out that we don’t even really need to try that hard because so many us are ready to believe a conspiracy theory. We’re going to talk about that, and we’re also going to talk about the latest from the war between Israel and Hamas. Closer to home, we’re going to talk to the newest member of the Ontario Legislature. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #453) Show Notes for December 7, 2023” →

Open Sources (Ep. #449) Show Notes for November 9, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we make jokes about snow tires. Good thing because the rest of this show is about some super serious stuff including the war in Gaza, which has really heated up since we last talked about it, and along with that we will also talk about how we’re discussing the war here at home. Speaking of home, there are a lot of people in our community without one and we’re going to talk to someone in government trying to fix that.

Open Sources (Ep. #447) Show Notes for October 26, 2023

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?!

Open Sources (Ep. #446) Show Notes for October 19, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it’s a kind of rerun. On the one hand, there’s still violence in the Middle East and it seems to be getting worse despite the interventions of foreign leaders and aid agencies. On the other hand we’ve got a great big new convoy, except it might not be as big as the previous one, but it’s still kind of annoying. And then, on our hidden third hand, we will talk about local stuff with a member of city council and how that might impact your wallet. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #446) Show Notes for October 19, 2023” →

Open Sources (Ep. #326) Show Notes for May 13, 2021

This week on Open Sources Guelph, things get complicated. At home, we’re going to try and unwind the complex string of motivations behind new government regs for tech companies, and the even more complex political and religious motivations behind the last violence in the Middle East. In the back half of the show, our local MPP will stop by to talk about the intricate random web of the provincial fight against COVID-19.
