Not that it should have been removed at all, of course.

I wrote my Councillor on this a bit ago - the spin I got wasn't necessarily that fluoride is bad, but that a) it should be a provincial cost as it's for public health, and b) when the decision was made, they had a choice between removing fluoride or the cost of upgrading equipment in order to keep doing it, so they decided on the former.
Either way, the fact it wasn't an election issue/we were blindsided by it never sat well with me, and I hope we vote to bring it back.
