My riding of Waterloo is considered a safe Liberal seat. Great! That means I can vote for the amazing NDP candidate Héline Chow without worrying about the CPC. Check her out:
"Dr. Héline Chow’s has a PhD in Environmental Engineering from the University of Waterloo where she has made her home. She now works as an engineer with Environment and Climate Change Canada, tackling critical environmental challenges at the federal level. "
#BikeNite A1: Posting from rainy #WaterlooRegion, #Ontario. It is not biking weather, and will remain so for almost a week...

There was another group called #CooperateForCanada (and "Citizens for Cross Party Cooperation" before that) from #WaterlooRegion in 2012. Different founders, whom I also knew through other local orgs. Same ideas, same problems.

Does anyone know where in central #SouthWesternOntario (#kitchener , #waterloo, #waterlooregion @waterlooregion ) to #donate still working - just old - #cellphones, #tablets?
