Open Sources (Ep. #541) Show Notes for October 30, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re getting more literate. While we go to air on the eve of All Hallow’s Eve, the only think that’s really haunting is the growing threat of misinformation so good it’s hard to tell the difference between what’s fake and what’s real. We will talk to someone who has some ideas about how to fight it, but before that we will hear from a member of city council who himself is being haunted… By the numbers in the budget.

Open Sources (Ep. #517) Show Notes for May 1, 2025

This week on Open Sources Guelph we get back to normal. No more election talk for at least a year now. Well, maybe a bit more election talk. We will talk about everything we didn’t know on election night and what it means, and then we will get back into the normal work of proctoring developments at the Ontario government and Guelph city council, and on the subject of the latter, we have a guest for that.

Open Sources (Ep. #480) Show Notes for August 1, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re doubling the cast. As a summer treat, we have not just one, but two different guests including a federal cabinet minister, and she will be followed by a member of our local city council who will talk to us about the year at city hall so far. And yes, we will also have news, which this week will centre around what is perhaps the most hated corporation in all of Canada!

Open Sources (Ep. #440) Show Notes for September 7, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re not back at school but we’re still looking for an education. With this episode, we’re trying to get smarter about Greenbelt-gate, which had a number of big developments in the last several days, and a new mass protest based on conspiracy theories that has us worried. For the interview this week, we go to Ward 3 where one of the councillors from Guelph’s north end will talk about the fall sitting of the horseshoe at City Hall.

Open Sources (Ep. #410) Show Notes for January 19, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph it’s Blue Thursday, the saddest Thursday of the week. To celebrate, we’re going to talk about the Code Blue in our healthcare system that Ontario’s inglorious premier thinks he’s solved, and then we’re going to talk about some issues around Toronto’s men and women in blue, the members of its police service. But it’s not all depressing because we’ve brought in an old friend to talk about all the math city council will be doing next week!

Open Sources (Ep. #391) Show Notes for September 8, 2022

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re heading back to the campaign trail, which is essentially where we’re living for the next several weeks. So we’ve lined up another quintet of municipal election candidates; five down and a great many more to go. So join us once again as we put politically active people in the spotlight and ask them to tell us – and you – why they want to be a city councillor working out of 1 Carden Street. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #391) Show Notes for September 8, 2022” →

Open Sources (Ep. #369) Show Notes for March 17, 2022

This week on Open Sources Guelph, contrarian opinions are welcome, and they always will be. Wish we could say that was true in Russia, which is doing everything it can to convince its people that they are not in an aggressive war against Ukraine. We have to talk about that again, and we will also talk about the race to be Canada’s next Federal Conservative leader, plus, a city councillor stops by for another chat.
