@Scott__Davey @RegionWaterloo Absolutely. We all need more money to deal with the services and responsibilities the province continues to download to municipalities while chronically underfunding them.

@Scott__Davey Yikes!

Our hearts are with @UWaterloo community, in particular the professor & students attacked yesterday. Hate & prejudice in any form is unacceptable. Gender based violence undermines the dignity & rights of all residents. With a collective voice we must speak out & promote inclusion

@m2bowman @GRT_ROW @AlertsGRT @robdeutschmann @_cllrcolleen @Redman4Region As well, there are more issues with standard transit, but it's rarely noticed because they just replace it with another available bus. If we reported those there would be many. As long as we have an alternative, there usually are no issues getting people where they need to go.

@m2bowman @GRT_ROW @AlertsGRT @robdeutschmann @_cllrcolleen @Redman4Region As soon as there is an interruption they get a bus to come and be a bridge. Luckily, the last disruption was only for about 20 minutes and they had the issue fixed quickly. It was a mechanical issue with the train itself. The bus was available to take people to the mall.

@Scott__Davey I don't know the exact proportions but I know the majority is inflation. But we are losing millions in funding. Once I get more detailed reports I can let you know. I'm planning on suggesting cutting many items.

@janemitchell @farwell_WR I've got my tickets! Can't wait!

[Kari Williams @kariwilliamswr]

@Scott__Davey Want to make one for my office too? ;)

[Kari Williams @kariwilliamswr]

@m2bowman I'm also totally ok with remaining the way we are, and then working on a few procedural and structural things. Really my stance is we are better together, and though I'm not sure what it will look like, we can make it work here. We work well together.

[Kari Williams @kariwilliamswr]

@m2bowman Fully integrated. We may only need a hybrid version where a few more things are streamlined, and not a full amalgamation to achieve our planning goals. It will also completely depend on the organizational structure the province chooses.

@m_druker @m2bowman @_cllrcolleen @GRT_ROW @AlertsGRT @robdeutschmann @Redman4Region The last few disruptions were outside factors. The trains themselves were fine. There was vandalism and 2 accidents (not even with the train), and that resulted in multiple disruptions. It was a fluke that it happened all within a week stretch. They do need to communicate faster

[Kari Williams @kariwilliamswr]

@SharonDreher @RegionWaterloo @_cllrcolleen @MichaelHarrisWR @berryonline The region has contracted multiple grass cutting sessions from spring to fall. This session is allotted 2 weeks for completion. If you notice that it is still uncut by next week, please send me a note. [email protected]

I'll admit, I have wondered about the differences in the various flags & what each one represents. This is a great educational resource.

Build a longer table not a taller fence.

@TrueCommunities @m2bowman @GRT_ROW @AlertsGRT @robdeutschmann @_cllrcolleen @Redman4Region Yes. They had to shut down that whole area to do repairs and not damage the tracks with falling debris etc.
