Please note the following:
* All chatrooms are linked together. If you join one room your messages will be copied to the other platforms.
* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.
* Be aware that both Telegram and Discord are centralized proprietary platforms and do not necessarily protect your rights nor privacy while simultaneously giving power to corporations.

Anybody have the list of which councillors voted for/against?
The article lists those who spoke for/against, but I don't think it has the full list.
The minutes should be available online.
“It failed by a vote of five yeas to seven nays, with Dudas and couns. Glen Gower, Rawlson King, Jeff Leiper, and Shawn Menard voting in favour. Mayor Mark Sutcliffe and couns. Matt Luloff, Cathy Curry, Tim Tierney, Riley Brockington, David Brown, and Catherine Kitts voted against the motion”

I will be emailing my councillor, David Brown, and voicing my displeasure.
@Lemmyoutofhere @sbv Brockington almost always disappoints. The odd time he manages to pick the right side and he missed once again.
