Open Sources (Ep. #443) Show Notes for September 28, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it all just blew up! It was kind of cruel last week when Ontario’s premier came out and apologized for a two-month old scandal on show day, but it was well-timed for the start of the fall session, which we will talk about on this show. In other news, Parliament Hill was not to be outdone in controversy and if you have “100-year-old Nazi” on your Bingo card, we’ve got good news. And finally, did you know there’s an election in Manitoba right now? Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #443) Show Notes for September 28, 2023” →

Open Sources (Ep. #434) Show Notes for July 13, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, things get awkward. It’s hard enough to criticize your political enemies, but what happens when you criticize your friends and then you have to fly off to Europe and see them face to face? That’s one question this week, and another question is how concerned we should be about a mosquito-borne disease that’s making a local-ish comeback? In the second half of the show, we will hear from the woman who hopes to hold on to a nearby riding for team orange. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #434) Show Notes for July 13, 2023” →

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it’s all election all the time! As we enter the last few weeks of the Ontario Provincial Election, we’re really going to have to step up our game in getting candidates on the air, so we have two back-to-back interviews.

Open Sources (Ep. #370) Show Notes for March 24, 2022

This week on Open Sources Guelph, there’s war, peace and optimism. The war part is obvious, it’s another week of death and despair in Ukraine, and still with now end in sight. In peace news though, two major Federal parties have reached a deal to govern for the next few years if they can figure out how to make it world. Optimism? Well, we have a candidate who hopes he will be Guelph’s next Member of Provincial Parliament. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #370) Show Notes for March 24, 2022” →

Open Sources (Ep. #342) Show Notes for September 9, 2021

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’ve got a great election interview double-header.

Open Sources (Ep. #336) Show Notes for July 22, 2021

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’ve got leadership issues. We’ll head to Manitoba where the effort to right the ship on Indigenous affairs blew up spectacularly on live TV (see above), and then we’ll go to the Federal level where there’s actually some good news for one beleaguered national leader. In the back half, we welcome, perhaps, our most prestigious guest yet, Ontario’s Official Opposition leader! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #336) Show Notes for July 22, 2021” →

Open Sources (Ep. #324) Show Notes for April 29, 2021

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we don’t have anything snappy to say. The pandemic is getting way out of control in India, and we desperately need a response. Meanwhile, in the United States, where the virus used to be out of control, the POTUS took a sort of victory lap. We’ll talk about that, and we’ll talk to a member of the provincial NDP caucus from a neighbouring riding about the Ontario angle.
