Open Sources (Ep. #552) Show Notes for January 15, 2026

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it’s non-stop controversy only two weeks into the new year. From the United States, just when you thought there was nothing new to get angry about, more state-sponsored violence, and then the international situation is getting even more dicey with new drama in Iran. More locally, we’ve got drama right here in our own backyard concerning daytime shelter services that may or may not be coming.

Open Sources (Ep. #495) Show Notes for November 28, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we wish we could shake it off. It would be our wildest dream to come on the radio one week and have something normal to talk about, but we knew this was trouble when we saw it cross our newsfeeds this week. We’re going to discuss what happened in Montreal last weekend, an arrest warrant for a controversial world leader, and final thoughts about the 2025 Guelph budget with one of our councillors. Hopefully, no bad blood there. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #495) Show Notes for November 28, 2024” →

Open Sources (Ep. #474) Show Notes for June 20, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re beating the heat with hard hitting punditry. To that end, we’re knocking off some of the circus politics to talk about serious issues like foreign interference in our politics and the seemingly increasing gulf between police and reporters while they’re on the job. For the interview this week, we’re talking to one of the newer members of the Ontario legislature about how she’s spending these 120 some-odd days of summer.

Open Sources (Ep. #469) Show Notes for May 2, 2024

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we reconnect with our roots. It’s been a busy week for student protests and campus shutdowns, and it’s not escaped media attention, but getting less media attention is B.C.’s move to re-criminalize drugs, which may be a big step backwards. As always, this media is focused on local, and we will talk to a city councillor that maybe making a move from local to national.

Open Sources (Ep. #449) Show Notes for November 9, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we make jokes about snow tires. Good thing because the rest of this show is about some super serious stuff including the war in Gaza, which has really heated up since we last talked about it, and along with that we will also talk about how we’re discussing the war here at home. Speaking of home, there are a lot of people in our community without one and we’re going to talk to someone in government trying to fix that. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #449) Show Notes for November 9, 2023” →

Open Sources (Ep. #403) Show Notes for December 1, 2022

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we catch up with old friends. Dinner with friends has gotten the former U.S. President into trouble again, and being a little too quick with the proverbial hickory stick has made a lot of people in China mad at their president-for-life. Guess we’ll just have to make some new friends, and that’s what we do this week as we interview another one of Guelph’s new councillors. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #403) Show Notes for December 1, 2022” →

Open Sources (Ep. #363) Show Notes for February 3, 2022

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re occupying the airwaves starting at 5 pm, but we promise to give them up at 6 pm. Unlike some people, we know how to not wear out our welcome, but we also known Nazis are bad. We’re going to talk about you-know-what in Ottawa, and the surprisingly fast and destructive effect on the Conservative Party, plus we’ll have an interview with a provincial party leader.
