News and Politics with a Local Voice
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re dealing with our Trump Derangement Syndrome. One more week till the vote’s over in the United States, and there’s a lot to catch up on. The vote is already over in Saskatchewan, but there’s a new one brewing in Nova Scotia to talk about. More locally, international students are getting a lot of blame, but we’re talking to someone who says that they really need our assistance.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’ve got one more before Christmas break. On this, the shortest day of the year, we will dig into this epically long strike in Quebec that looks to roll on into the new year, and we will also talk about everyone’s favourite 2023 controversy, which is pronouns. For an additional Christmas present, we will end the year (of interviews) with another conversation with our local Member of Parliament. One of the last… Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #455) Show Notes for December 21, 2023”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we realize that it’s always darkest just before Halloween. At least that’s what it seems like when we open social media or a news app on our phone. We’ve got a full slate of political news for you from the latest in the Middle East and the frontlines in Israel to the battle lines in Queen’s Park. And then, we go to Saskatchewan where there was some constitutional experimentation, and speaking of experimenting, might Guelph be flirting with the blue team?!

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re relieved to longer hear the honking of the horns. Not that we really heard them, but the thought of it kept us up all night. You know what else is keeping us up? How about the thought of a bilateral meeting with Pierre Poilievre and Boris Johnson? We will talk about those two in the first half of the show, and in the second half we’ll talk Guelph business with the man from the (Ward) 6ix.

This week on Open Sources Guelph is another one of those weeks where there’s almost too much news, and it’s not all related to the U.S. Presidential Election, which is definitely one of our topics for this show. Along with that, we will also talk about the four (!) elections we had in Canada this week, the continuing failures of Reconciliation in Caledonia, and labour strife in Alberta in their… healthcare sector?!

This week on Open Sources Guelph we will take everything we know about a busy news week, pack it in a tote, and leave it in the basement to gather dust because we’ve got a new standard for what a busy news week looks like. So Trump got COVID, and so did, it seems, most of his senior staff, which cast this week’s Vice Presidential debate in doubt. Meanwhile in Canada, we elected a new Green leader with no problem, and we’ve got a new provincial election to talk about. Continue reading “Open Sources Show Notes for October 8, 2020”
It’s another busy week here in the Open Sources Guelph newsroom. We’ve got environmental stuff on the go with talk about the carbon tax and the small matter of a million species dying out. In between, we’ll talk about religious matters of law in Quebec, and take a look at all the people who want to replace Donald Trump as the leader of the free world. Just business as usual.
