Open Sources Guelph #575 - June 25, 2026
from Guelph Politicast · host Adam A. Donaldson
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're doing our homework. We've got another pair of interviews for you that will hopefully shed light on issues in the news. First up, we will talk to a verified young person about their thoughts on a matter that could be facing young people soon, and then we will talk to a lawyer who recently won their case in court even though two levels of government don't like it! This Thursday, June 25, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Youth About Youth. Earlier this month, the federal government announced that they were going to ban social media for anyone under the age of 16, but no one who's a Member of Parliament is that young, so how do the youth feel about it? Why don't we ask one? Joining us this week is Wyatt Sharpe, an independent journalist with his own YouTube channel, which he started long before he was 17. Wyatt will tell us what he thinks about the ban and why he believes it won't work. Appeal Plan. Two times now, Waterloo Region has tried to evict a homeless encampment on the site of proposed transit hub project in Kitchener, and twice an Ontario court has upheld the Charter rights of the people living there. Now, the Region and the Ontario government are trying to take things to the Court of Appeals, but will they have any greater success there? Waterloo Region Community Legal Services executive director Ashley Schuitema, who represents the residents, will tell us why she's holding all the cards. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.
