@CrisBairosFern Cristina: can you call me about this today? Jeff Outhit, Record reporter, 519-896-2127

"We [the trustees]should have the option to consider who the best candidate to fill the vacancy is." So these 9'trustees' would be the voice for those who voted for them...and ...the 2 new 'appointed' trustees will be the voice for... 6 of the trustees?🤔 youtu.be/E10hDLrgQXE

Waterloo MPP Catherine Fife may ponder seeking leadership of the provincial NDP. Says she’ll sit with her family and supporters to talk about “what the future looks like.”

@OttawaCitizen This is great work by Postmedia and its readers. Fascinating project. Thanks for finding and linking to my story about Robert’s cousin Bill, wounded in France. I have visited the Buron battlefield twice. Respect for the McCormick family who gave so much for this country.

A big thank you to everyone who followed along, shared our tweets and helped us scour the history books and genealogy records to tell the story of unknown hero Lt. Robert James McCormick. #WeAreTheDead

In honour of Remembrance Day, today for the 10th year running, the Ottawa Citizen is proud to present a one-day investigation of a Canadian soldier killed in war, a project we call #WeAreTheDead. As always, we need your help.

@fitsumareguy @ONAwards @JaneatLFPress @GrantRants I miss working with Fitsum and we never even met. Strange year. He really sharpened these stories.

@CharlotteProng @WeidnerRecord @BoothRecord @ROWPublicHealth Cases in Record chart are presented as a 3-day moving average to better show trends. It says so in the chart note. I may highlight that point to make it more obvious.

Fewer than 300 daily passengers ride GO trains in Kitchener. That's a failure after eight years of service. Will a better service draw more than a marginal ridership? therecord.com/news-story/970…

Elections, prime ministers come and go. Canada's WW2 prosecution of Waterloo's Helmut Oberlander soldiers on for 24 years, enough time to defeat the Nazis four times over. therecord.com/news-story/959…

I'm intrigued by a 'diet' that may trim driving lanes from Waterloo roads. Also that planners are walking back growth and travel targets deployed a decade ago to sell the public on LRT and green-related shifts. therecord.com/news-story/958…

Unreliable trains are delaying the better LRT service (1 train every 8 minutes) that was promised to passengers, taxpayers. therecord.com/news-story/956…
