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.

Open Sources (Ep. #510) Show Notes for March 20, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’ve got Canadian Tire money to burn. Like Justin Trudeau! Who spent the first day of the first week of the rest of his life pretending he’s a normal guy.
