News and Politics with a Local Voice
This week on Open Sources Guelph things are not going according to plan. From Queen’s Park to Parliament Hill, our provincial and federal governments are missing the goal posts and are facing some rather harsh scrutiny. And speaking of scrutiny, we will talk to one of our city councillors about making the tough decisions that you probably didn’t like about next year’s city budget.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we celebrate old times, and new times. From the past, there’s someone we kind of forgot about but who wants to be remembered again, which could also apply to Parliament Hill where the leader of the opposition is back in the House and ready to deliver stinging rebukes to a PM under pressure. More locally, we will talk to one of Guelph city’s councillors about some recent big decisions. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #534) Show Notes for September 11, 2025”
This week on Open Sources Guelph we order a side-helping of change and economic concern. The new prime minister and the new-old premier met this week to talk about their common enemy: the crazy person currently occupying the White House.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re not done with 2024 yet, and it seems like the year is not done with us! Out of the Middle East this week some good news for a change, or at least some less bad news depending on what’s next.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we mark Earth Week by discussing some of the news that happened on this planet. We will travel from Washington D.C. to Kiev where there’s finally some good news in that war effort, but it’s just too bad that there wasn’t any good news when it comes to funding our regional transit system. Also, we will talk and act locally with one of our Guelph city councillors. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #468) Show Notes for April 25, 2024”
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re looking for reading material. Let’s go to the bathroom where, naturally, you keep all your state secrets! Speaking of secrets we’ll talk about the ongoing efforts to wrap our head around election interference in the last two Canadian elections, and then we’ll head to the U.S. where a certain Florida Man is making trouble again. For the interview, we’ve got someone local with something to celebrate. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #430) Show Notes for June 15, 2023”
This week on Open Sources Guelph we’re going to undermine the show we’ve put so much time and energy into. All the kids are doing self-destruction these days, whether that’s governments failing on climate action, or a certain billionaire failing with business management. We’re going to talk about that, and then we’ll talk to someone who isn’t failing, one of the new Guelph city councillors. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #401) Show Notes for November 17, 2022”
