Hey @BoseService! QC 35 II white BT LED stays on when powered off, and won't connect to anything.
I've tried: Soft + Factory reset, Firmware down+ latest
Power switch is fine — still says "Powering off" — but the BT module just won't shut down & Battery drains

Hey @loblawco I want to buy Ontario peaches but not when they come in throw-away plastic boxes that will be in the environment and our bodies for hundreds of years. #plasticpollution

@CanadianTire I’m a little confused by your inconsistent policy on washrooms being available at your gas / electric charging locations. Certain gas bar locations tell us it is your corporate policy to close all washrooms is that correct?

Our CEO Jason Cassidy was recently interviewed by @AIIMIntl. In this podcast he discusses how we need to move from a management mindset to a leadership mindset by focusing on information and data first.

Research has shown that a team made up of humans and machines will out perform a team made up of just humans or just machines.

@RogersHelps seems our internet is down, but not listed on your outage page. Uptown waterloo. Help?

[Ryan van Stralen @RyanvanStralen]

@ajreinhart Agreed, but in Waterloo I'd argue putting maximums on parking as Kitchener does is equally important. See Barrel Yards where, despite being uptown, residents have 2 and 3 spots each, while additional parking structures beyond the approved original plans are going ahead.

[Ryan van Stralen @RyanvanStralen]

@m2bowman we're having the same discussions here in Waterloo. It seems even after a Master Plan for a site has been agreed to it can continuously be amended without having to involve the stakeholders / neighbours again. Only caught it because of a minor (but not really) variance request

[Ryan van Stralen @RyanvanStralen]

I support @citywaterloo enhancements to responsible increases of density especially uptown, and am cognizant of NIMBYism, but communication is what is at issue here. The settled on heights of buildings at @BarrelYards were already dense and agreed upon with the neighbourhood.

[Ryan van Stralen @RyanvanStralen]

Agree with sentiment. Comunications by @citywaterloo re significant developments are at best under communicated. Only by following up on an innocuous minor variance letter did we come to understand @BarrelYards plans to take another 12 story to 19, & 2 lvl above ground parking.

@theharneetsingh Agreed, great to have another Canadian company competing in the micro-transit space. It's a little unclear what their differentiator is though? Having used limebike, and finding them rather expensive, wondering if Zip Dockless would do something differently?

A monumental day for @RegionWaterloo and @CityKitchener as local transit prepares to move into the 21st century with news of our new @rideIONrt officially launching on June 21st. Free rides on @GRT_ROW & @rideIONrt from June 21-July 1. Thx to #WRAwesome community for its support!
