^ They answer the top ten questions live at the town hall, and then a few weeks after the town hall provide written answers to every question received. You can see the example of this from the March 2019 townhall in Kitchener.

Wow, that's abysmal participation. Most of them have just a few votes.

It is abysmal, but the website is very slow, the hurdles to participate high, I was already a member, and yet had to re-apply to vote, and there's always the nagging feeling that it's an exercise in futility.

That said, I can wait until next month for clarification.

Well, at least the latest excuse. I'm pushing the issue, but some still believe what they're told, but at some point, the majority are going to finally 'get it'.

What astounds me is that some still believe the gibberish, and then expect others to. It's almost religious fervour...
