Open Sources (Ep. #560) Show Notes for March 12, 2026

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re still thinking about war and peace. There’s a lot of the former, which makes the latter seem rather fleeting, but if you’re confused about what you’re seeing on the news, or in your social media feed, imagine how the leaders of American and Canada’s governments are feeling. We will catch up on the situation in Iran, and then we will catch up on the situation coming to Queen’s Park with our special guest!

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re walking our beat. To begin with we’ve got eyes on potential corruption in Toronto-area police services, and then we’ll be taking a couple of our biggest political leaders aside to see how much they’re colluding together to get us back to the polls. And speaking of polls, we will talk to someone presently running for office, in fact, you might say that they want to be a leader.

Open Sources (Ep. #554) Show Notes for January 29, 2026

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we catch up with old friends. While Mark Carney was hugging it out with a Canadian celebrity, MPs were returning to Ottawa for another session or where else detoured by bad winter weather.

Open Sources (Ep. #553) Show Notes for January 22, 2026

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it’s Blew Thursday. You’ve heard of Blue Monday, the saddest day of the year, well this is the dumbest day of the year, and we’re talking about the people who blew it, or are blowing it. First, the Quebec premier once thought invincible has quit, and then our PM is shaking and baking again on the world stage but not necessarily to the satisfaction of his constituents. For the interview, an old friend with housing concerns. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #553) Show Notes for January 22, 2026”

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. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #546) Show Notes for December 4, 2025”

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.
