| 1638932352716898307 | Dawn Bowdish told @WR_Record that communications missteps have caused a drop in vaccination rates. “The public got the message that Omicron was less serious, and the urgency that drove so many people to go and get their vaccines just wasn’t there." https://t.co/rATyAeCeI9 | 4 |

| 1639387698371739648 | @WR_Record While that is still a welcomed contribution to more affordable housing in our community, it's less than what we could have had, if we had accepted this proposal in it's original form. | 4 |

| 1639390216539586561 | @WR_Record All that to say: I'm excited to see this proposal finally given the green light, but disappointed that it was delayed in getting started, and that we have now lost additional affordable housing funding because of the delay. | 15 |
| 1639387698371739648 | @WR_Record While that is still a welcomed contribution to more affordable housing in our community, it's less than what we could have had, if we had accepted this proposal in it's original form. | 15 |
| 1641235356321296384 | @_MikeRamsay @wrdsb @WR_Record I sure am glad we got those teacher shortage, funding issues, lack of a highschool between Huron Rd and Preston, and gaps in learning from Covid, issues all sorted out so that we can deal with the real pressing issue: bickering over library books…again. | 15 |
| 1641442136527892484 | @m2bowman Though I take issue with the @WR_Record piece treating density and crowding as synonyms when they certainly aren’t. In fact when we don’t have enough housing units, there’s less density of housing units but more crowding — less housing floor space per person | 12 |
