Open Sources (Ep. #574) Show Notes for June 18, 2026

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we make deals, or rather we just deal with it. In the first half, we will talk about the deal with the federal government’s attempt to rein in the excesses of big tech and why the war in Iran might finally be over, or not. In the second half, we’ve got a member of Guelph city council who’s going to talk about the deal with the very busy meetings last week at city hall and some of the town’s favourite controversies!

Open Sources (Ep. #572) Show Notes for June 4, 2026

This week on Open Sources Guelph we boogey! And yet, there’s not much time to celebrate because the news keeps on coming. We will see who won the B.C. Conservative leadership race and talk about what the next steps, and then we will look at a certain prime minister’s weak spot when it comes to a very green issue. Closer to home, we have a guest from Guelph city council to talk about, among other things, the next council. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #572) Show Notes for June 4, 2026” →

Open Sources (Ep. #546) Show Notes for December 4, 2025

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.

Open Sources (Ep. #534) Show Notes for September 11, 2025

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” →

Open Sources (Ep. #509) Show Notes for March 13, 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. For the other half of the show, we will look to more local concerns with one of the members of city council from the first (in numerical order) ward!

Open Sources (Ep. #497) Show Notes for December 12, 2024

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. We will also talk about the reaction to a very specific crime on the streets of Manhattan, and closer to home, we’ll have a city councillor do a little year-end recap with us! Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #497) Show Notes for December 12, 2024” →

Open Sources (Ep. #468) Show Notes for April 25, 2024

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” →
