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 wish we could shake it off. It would be our wildest dream to come on the radio one week and have something normal to talk about, but we knew this was trouble when we saw it cross our newsfeeds this week. We’re going to discuss what happened in Montreal last weekend, an arrest warrant for a controversial world leader, and final thoughts about the 2025 Guelph budget with one of our councillors. Hopefully, no bad blood there. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #495) Show Notes for November 28, 2024”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re under pressure. We’re now one-year into a war in the Middle East that no one wanted but we’re dealing with it anyway, and here in Canada it’s costing more to hold government agencies to account. If you want to talk about holding governments to account though, you probably want to talk to this week’s guest who might be fighting a losing battle against the Ontario government to keep public land public.

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. For the interview, we’ve got our local Member of Provincial Parliament who’s still trying to stay on top of the premier’s recent colour commentary.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it’s back to school time! In the spirit of learning and continuing education we will open our minds and exercise our takes by tackling the big news stories of the week including a return trip to the Middle East where war and peace continues to be top of mind, and then there’s matters of immigration making the headlines here in Canada. More locally than that, we will talk about recent changes to government policy on safe consumption sites. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #483) Show Notes for September 5, 2024”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, everything old is new again! Nothing changes after two big by-elections in different parts of Ontario, and the war that has stymied the world for the better part of a year now only looks close to reaching a resolution. Also, under hope and change, we have a guest this week that hopes a commemoration this month will lead to improved lives for people everywhere! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #470) Show Notes for May 9, 2024”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we reconnect with our roots. It’s been a busy week for student protests and campus shutdowns, and it’s not escaped media attention, but getting less media attention is B.C.’s move to re-criminalize drugs, which may be a big step backwards. As always, this media is focused on local, and we will talk to a city councillor that maybe making a move from local to national. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #469) Show Notes for May 2, 2024”
