Open Sources (Ep. #476) Show Notes for July 4, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re dealing with disappointment. Was it wrong to hope that an 81-year-old man would find the energy at 9 pm on a weeknight to argue with a sociopath for two hours? Maybe, but then again it’s hard for leaders half that age to avoid calls to leave out the side door, at least that is what’s going on our own capital. In terms of good news, we’re going to talk to a community group that is literally making it a cool summer for low income people in Hamilton.

Open Sources (Ep. #475) Show Notes for June 27, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re bummed. Our long weekend plans collapsed like so much roofing that may or may not be a threat to some school kids on a class trip! Fortunately, there is lots of news and politics to chew on including surprise closures of tourist attractions, a surprising electoral victory and even a not-so-surprising one out west. As for the rest of the show, we’ve called the police, and they’re here to talk!! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #475) Show Notes for June 27, 2024” →

Open Sources (Ep. #467) Show Notes for April 18, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re going to have an “orgy of spending.” That’s how one Conservative MP described this year’s federal budget, and we’re going to talk about why, and speaking of elicit sex, we’re going talk about the criminal trial of the former U.S. President. In the back half of the show though we’re going to keep things nice and professional with a future election candidate. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #467) Show Notes for April 18, 2024” →

Open Sources (Ep. #448) Show Notes for November 2, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we come down from the Halloween sugar high. A lot’s been happening on the homefront lately so we will take a break from current affairs in the Middle East and look at Queen’s Park, where the government seems buried under a mound of paper released to the press this week. Speaking of getting buried, we will look at if the federal government has buried itself by revisiting its most controversial piece of legislation. And lastly, we have another city council friend to talk with. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #448) Show Notes for November 2, 2023” →

Open Sources (Ep. #442) Show Notes for September 21, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph things get serious. Well, they’re pretty serious every week, but it’s not every week that we’re talking about a foreign government allegedly killing a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil. And to think we were going to start this week with talk of grocery prices… So there’s that, plus we’ll talk about the seasonal return of COVID-19 and in local news, we will turn to one of our city councillors about some of the latest doings at 1 Carden Street. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #442) Show Notes for September 21, 2023” →

Open Sources (Ep. #436) Show Notes for July 27, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re a four quadrant success. We’re going local, provincial, national and international with the news this week, and this is what we’re talking about in no particular order: There’s a new map of Guelph and you may not like it in the south end, patronage is back in Ontario, the prime minister hopes that new cabinet faces will solve all his problems, and Florida Man is still being Florida Man. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #436) Show Notes for July 27, 2023” →

Open Sources (Ep. #419) Show Notes for March 30, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re thinking about life in the capital. There’s always a lot of controversy up in Ottawa, and for the last couple of weeks that controversy’s been all about Chinese government election interference. But good news! Joe Biden came to town to save the news cycle with some life-affirming North American camaraderie. For the interview this week, we’re pleased to talk to someone who pays more attention to federal and provincial budgets than we do.
