News and Politics with a Local Voice
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.

After that, we will turn to Guelph MP Lloyd Longfield, who will hopefully help bring the temperature down. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #318) Show Notes for March 18, 2021”

Yes, we will tackle the implications of the wildfires spreading across the U.S. west coast, and we will consider the successful gambit of the returning champion Progressive Conservative Party in New Brunswick. After those two issues, we will have another remote chat with our Member of Parliament about federal concerns on the local level. Continue reading “Open Sources Show Notes for September 17, 2020”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re going to do the same thing we do every week, try and take over the world talk about COVID-19. It’s not going away anytime soon, and the pandemic news continues to unfold quickly, so we will once again try and fold it up in a tightly wound 25-minute package. In the second half of the show, we’re going talk to our Member of Parliament about the ongoing Federal response. Continue reading “Open Sources Show Notes for April 16, 2020”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re taking a break after our marathon five-hour live show on Election Night (and if you missed what happened, you can find all five hours on the CFRU archive, or the abridged version on the Guelph Politicast).
