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”

Open Sources (Ep. #529) Show Notes for July 24, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph everybody is fighting! Our national and provincial leaders are gathered to strategize and fight back in a trade war, while the leader of the opposition (in exile) is fighting for his political life so that he can get back into the national debate. Meanwhile, we will talk to an area Indigenous leader who’s helping to lead the fight against legislation they got no say in by taking two different levels of government to court. Can’t we all just get along?! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #529) Show Notes for July 24, 2025”

Open Sources (Ep. #524) Show Notes for June 19, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re trying to keep all our paper’s straight. Once again, it was a busy news week as the world came to Canada, or at least the heads of the biggest and most powerful countries did. Also, we get to talk about a new war, apparently because we’ve run out of things to say about the old wars while closer to home, we’ll go back to the Quatro and talk to a member of city council from the west end of the city. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #524) Show Notes for June 19, 2025”

Open Sources (Ep. #522) Show Notes for June 5, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re going dull. You can’t make friends with salad? We disagree! And to help prove that we’re going to get out the scorecards for the first two weeks of business with the new Canadian government and the first year of business for the U.K.’s government. In other news, we’ll go super local looking at one neighbourhood with that area’s council representative! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #522) Show Notes for June 5, 2025”
