News and Politics with a Local Voice
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we throw ourselves into international drama. From civil unrest in Haiti, to the ongoing disaster that’s still unfolding – and might yet get worse – in Gaza. Also, there’s a princess missing in England, and can you believe that’s going to be the *last* segment?! Also, closer to home, we’ve got another great government attempt to regulate the internet to discuss. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #462) Show Notes for March 14, 2024”
This week Open Sources Guelph is dealing bad news. What else is new? From critics silenced to cities under siege, we’re reminded that there’s a world full of danger and destruction out there, which are two things that are closely associated with a specific man who was once President of the United States, and might be again. Meanwhile, closer to home, an old man is almost literally yelling at clouds. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #459) Show Notes for February 22, 2024”
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”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we grab some canned programming off the shelf. It’s a pretty busy week at city hall so we can’t really dive into the news as much as we would like to. Instead, we put a call in to a new friend and an old friend to round out our time and chat around the news. First, we will talk to someone uniquely placed in the fight against gender-based violence, and second we’ve got another Green fellow named Mike who’s having a very busy time lately too!

This week on Open Sources Guelph, many storylines seem to be wrapping up. In the Middle East, there’s a hope for peace after more than a month of war. In Ontario, the third place party is about to find their new number one. Here in Guelph, it’s almost time to pass a new budget, but one city councillor is going to have the last word before the time comes. Join us as we mark American Thanksgiving with some largely Canadian affairs, aka: Just another Thursday on the radio. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #451) Show Notes for November 23, 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. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #449) Show Notes for November 9, 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?!
