Open Sources (Ep. #418) Show Notes for March 23, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we mark a grim milestone. You see the smiley, happy man with the thumb up in the picture above, well he’s responsible for what might end up being the biggest foreign policy debacle of the 21st century, and the century was barely three years old when it happened. On this episode, we’re marking the 20th anniversary of the start of the Iraq War, and we’re also going to talk about other fights closer to home, like housing, and we’ve got a city council guest to talk about it.

Open Sources (Ep. #412) Show Notes for February 9, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we look up. We look northeast-ward to Ottawa to see if there might finally be a new healthcare deal between levels of government, and then we look to the sky for more Chinese spy balloons because that’s a thing now. After that, we go back to Ottawa to revisit the fallout from the “Freedom Convoy” exactly one year ago, and specifically the effect on the people living there, which has now been documented in a convenient new report.

Open Sources (Ep. #356) Show Notes for December 16, 2021

In our interview segment this week, we will talk to Guelph’s Mayor for a year-end chat, and before that we will talk about the passing of another mayor, one of Toronto’s most historic and colourful.

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.

Open Sources Show Notes for Thursday May 23, 2019

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re going to try and look past the usual suspects to get at some of the under reported stories in the news this week. Among them, we’ll look at an official investigation into money laundering, and a key turn of phrase that’s a giant step forward in dealing with out racist past. Speaking of racism, that’s still a thing, and a couple of people in Canada are doing their best to bring it back, while some American states are trying to bring back their own dark past for women’s rights.
