Open Sources (Ep. #551) Show Notes for January 8, 2026

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we enter the new year like we left the old year: chaotically. For this first episode of the year, we will catch you up with all the news you might have missed either intentionally or on purpose during the holidays, and split into three distinct areas. We will tackle the latest drama south of the border, the travel plans of Canada’s prime minister, and whatever the heck in going on with the leader of Ontario.

Open Sources (Ep. #546) Show Notes for December 4, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph things are not going according to plan. From Queen’s Park to Parliament Hill, our provincial and federal governments are missing the goal posts and are facing some rather harsh scrutiny. And speaking of scrutiny, we will talk to one of our city councillors about making the tough decisions that you probably didn’t like about next year’s city budget.

Open Sources (Ep. #545) Show Notes for November 27, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph it’s all going according to plan. Sort of. At least that’s what the Prime Minister of Canada wants us to think as he seeks out foreign investment around the globe. Closer to home, trouble is brewing for his provincial counterparts in Quebec, while even more closer to home we will talk to the head of Guelph city council about all the things he can’t or won’t do when it comes to the city budget.

Open Sources (Ep. #542) Show Notes for November 6, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph we witness history. The good kind. Before heading south of the border to talk about some rare encouraging news (we won’t call it good), we will talk about the latest test for the new Prime Minister and Government of Canada with their first budget. In other news, we will look at a possible schism here in Ontario between two different groups of conservatives who have some very different ideas about what that means.

Open Sources (Ep. #536) Show Notes for September 25, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re going to meetings. There’s a big one at U.N. headquarters in New York this week, and Canada sent the new kid to dazzle everyone. Meanwhile, closer to home, Ontario’s opposition parties have been having meetings and in some cases, they’re shaking up the guest list. Even more closer to home, we don’t do meetings, we do protests and marches on a Saturday. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #536) Show Notes for September 25, 2025” →

Open Sources (Ep. #534) Show Notes for September 11, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we celebrate old times, and new times. From the past, there’s someone we kind of forgot about but who wants to be remembered again, which could also apply to Parliament Hill where the leader of the opposition is back in the House and ready to deliver stinging rebukes to a PM under pressure. More locally, we will talk to one of Guelph city’s councillors about some recent big decisions. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #534) Show Notes for September 11, 2025” →

Open Sources (Ep. #532) Show Notes for August 28, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph, just in time for the last weekend of summer, we’re taking a trip. We join our prime minister as he’s taking the world by storm, or at least parts of Europe anyway, and then we’re heading to Gaza again where nobody is taking a vacation because the war continues and its costing more lives. The stakes aren’t as dire closer to home, but there’s controversy up the road in Wasaga Beach that we need to discuss. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #532) Show Notes for August 28, 2025” →
