News and Politics with a Local Voice
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re eating news leftovers. First, we will catch up with the latest develops in Gaza where there’s now a precarious peace, and we will also talk about the early phase of the race to find a new leader for a federal party. For the interview, we engage in another annual fall tradition, the late return to Queen’s Park for another truncated sitting that solves none of our problems.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re beating the heat with hard hitting punditry. To that end, we’re knocking off some of the circus politics to talk about serious issues like foreign interference in our politics and the seemingly increasing gulf between police and reporters while they’re on the job. For the interview this week, we’re talking to one of the newer members of the Ontario legislature about how she’s spending these 120 some-odd days of summer.

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, we’ve got to get serious for bit. Well, more serious. As we were enjoying the Thanksgiving long weekend, there was no rest for the people in Israel and the Gaza Strip and now a full-scale war seems to be inevitable. In lighter news though, there’s more dysfunction in the Republic Party for us to laugh at, and for the interview this week, we’ll head back up Highway #7 to visit another provincial election candidate. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #445) Show Notes for October 12, 2023”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, things get awkward. It’s hard enough to criticize your political enemies, but what happens when you criticize your friends and then you have to fly off to Europe and see them face to face? That’s one question this week, and another question is how concerned we should be about a mosquito-borne disease that’s making a local-ish comeback? In the second half of the show, we will hear from the woman who hopes to hold on to a nearby riding for team orange. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #434) Show Notes for July 13, 2023”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re city folk! Municipal matters are top of mind on this edition of the show, as we look at independence day for three Ontario cities, and then that election to fill the vacant mayor’s seat in Canada’s biggest city. In the back half of the show, we will once again serve in our essential roll as the mandatory stop for all local Green Party candidates who want to get elected!
