Open Sources (Ep. #408) Show Notes for January 5, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph we’re back at work! That was a nice holiday break but the news doesn’t stop, even though we do (for a time). So on this show, we’re catching up with the crazy politics of the United States, which did not take a holiday break, and we will catch up with the War in Ukraine because there was no holiday break there either. For the interview this week, we will finish up our round of interviews with the new city councillors by chatting with the new guy representing Ward 6.

Open Sources (Ep. #374) Show Notes for April 21, 2022

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’ve got rights! In the second half of the show we will celebrate 40 years of having rights thanks to Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and we’ll talk about that guy picture above who thinks he’s the Free Speech man with a plan. For the first half though, we’ve still got a war in Ukraine to talk about, and there are still questions about a massacre closer to home.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, the Easter Bunny’s bringing a basket full of issues.

Open Sources (Ep. #372) Show Notes for April 7, 2022

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re covering a lot of ground. In part one somehow things have gotten even worse in Ukraine, and speaking of things getting worse, we’ve got to talk about COVID again. In the second half of the show, we go back to Europe to check-up with the far-right’s favourite western democracy, and then we come back to Canda to keep the chat about far-right stuff going.

Open Sources (Ep. #371) Show Notes for March 31, 2022

This week on Open Sources Guelph, slap coverage will be kept to a minimum, unless, of course, the topic of a very immature social media post from the Alberta Premier comes up. Jason Kenney is among our topics of conversation this week, and we will also, obviously, talk about the latest war news from Ukraine. Closer to home, one of CFRU’s city councillors will join us to talk about plans of the official variety. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #371) Show Notes for March 31, 2022”

Open Sources (Ep. #370) Show Notes for March 24, 2022

In peace news though, two major Federal parties have reached a deal to govern for the next few years if they can figure out how to make it world. Optimism? Well, we have a candidate who hopes he will be Guelph’s next Member of Provincial Parliament. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #370) Show Notes for March 24, 2022”
