News and Politics with a Local Voice
This week on Open Sources Guelph we violate our New Year’s Resolution to have less drama! Canada’s prime minister apparently had other ideas though by kicking off the week, and the year, with a big announcement that we have to cover.

This week on Open Sources Guelph we’re going to try and tone down the rhetoric. But can we still be spicy? Probably, the news certainly is!

In this last show before Election Day, we are hosting the two candidates from the two parties that will likely form the next government. In the top half, from the red team, we will have Lloyd Longfield, and getting the last word, from the blue team, is Dr. Ashish Sachan.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’ve got a great election interview double-header. In this corner, we have a returning champion, the NDP candidate Aisha Jahangir, who wants to be Guelph’s first NDP Member of Parliament. And in this corner, we have the new kid, Green Party candidate Michelle Bowman, who will try and make this riding fully Green and not just half-Green. Election Day is almost here!

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we go election crazy by dedicating three-quarters of the show to the Federal Election, which you may or may not know is going on right now.
