News and Politics with a Local Voice
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re throwing shade. What do you do when you’re in the White House and forced to do a media availability with a crazy person? Make faces at the camera, of course.

This week on Open Sources Guelph we violate our New Year’s Resolution to have less drama! Canada’s prime minister apparently had other ideas though by kicking off the week, and the year, with a big announcement that we have to cover.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’ve got one more before Christmas break. On this, the shortest day of the year, we will dig into this epically long strike in Quebec that looks to roll on into the new year, and we will also talk about everyone’s favourite 2023 controversy, which is pronouns.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we witness something completely rare and unexpected in our natural world: Accountability. We join, well, everyone in the political world right now by looking to New York City where a certain Florida man had to go to court.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, the Easter Bunny’s bringing a basket full of issues. Before taking a nice, leisurely long weekend off, we’re diving again into the Ukrainian War (now in it’s eighth great week), and the latest in terms of Ontario’s sixth wave (non) response. In the back half of the show, we’re talking to our local Federal representative about that big to-do pictured above, last week’s Federal budget.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it’s back to business! Our theme this week is getting back to work, take the Ontario government for instance, they got back to work with the Speech from the Throne, and there was a lot of PR work to do this week at Facebook HQ in the middle of their terrible news week. In the back half of the show, Guelph’s MP is going to talk about why he’s eager to get back to work in Ottawa. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #346) Show Notes for October 7, 2021”

In this last show before Election Day, we are hosting the two candidates from the two parties that will likely form the next government.
