Me when there's a lineup to vote at advance polls for a municipal election: 😁
Me when I realize the average age of the line is 65 and seniors barely able to walk: 😭

Shannon Weber says taxes have gone up much more compared to Kitchener & Waterloo. Says will keep taxes to inflation and focus on critical infrastructure & services. #WRvotes

Mayor McCabe has a cold but is here. For taxes she doesn’t believe in raising them but also doesn’t want to cut services. Seek effieciencies through technology and shared procurement. #WRvotes

The tax question. Jamie Hari says change how we tax (higher value homes pay more). Jerry Jiang says he didn’t fill out surveys because they force a binary. “Taxes aren’t a yes or no” solution. #wrvotes

Truly standing room only at the Waterloo Mayor all candidate meeting. Unfortunately candidates are not on a raised platform; they have been asked to stand when speaking. #wrvotes #waterloo

“Cambridge has never bulldozed encampments” (gasps&scoffs from audience ) “if you’re going to heckle me come up front” - Jan Liggett, talking how support for addiction & mental health support is needed, not shelter beds. #WRvotes

Something I’ve heard before - Cambridge is the second largest municipality in the Region of Waterloo so why don’t they get the 2nd most representation on council? #WRvotes

Tony Chaves says Cambridge needs less politics, more community. And aims to more affordable living for all. #WRvotes

Candidate Ken Roche is an RMT and also blind. Hilarious comment about holding conversations with people “in their underwear or less”. Well, being able to speak to people is a valuable skill for mayors. 😆 #WRvotes

At another town hall - Cambridge mayoral candidates. I already know who I’d vote for if I lived in Cambridge (here on behalf of Union).
Also it’s disappointing only one of six candidates is a woman. As we know, gender alone doesn’t indicate political beliefs. #WRvotes

Doug Craig said WRPS is underfunded (per 1000 residents) when compared to comparable sized cities. Pam Wolf calls for police to work with social services given 8000+ calls are for intimate partner violence. #WRvotes #CambridgeON

Sharing as Ontario municipal elections are just over 5 weeks away & we’ve had some recent close calls. I want to see all you Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge folks out at the polls! #WRvotes #watpoli
