“Good morning, Emily,” he said. “I haven’t seen your post for a while, so I don’t think we have friends between us. If so, it’s fair. Now I don’t care.

“I think you will give me an honest answer. Is it correct for you to post that you have received the vaccine long ago? This is not a common question for acquaintances, but have you noticed any changes during the period? Again, this It’s none of my business. I respect your personal and privacy.”

The woman chose not to answer the mayor’s question

Spanton, a passionate volunteer in St. Catharines, said the issue was shocking and intrusive.

She said that her previous news with Byersma was actually not making friends with her on Facebook, mainly around citizen issues, for example, he had served as the chairman of the Niagara Peninsula Protection Agency.

She said that the last information they exchanged was in the autumn, when she told him that she did not agree with his anti-locking position.

She did not respond to his information about vaccines and menstruation.

She said: “I don’t see anything that can be described as a productive conversation.”

“If he says,’Emily, I have some questions about vaccines,’ I will take the time to have a conversation.”

She believes that Bylsma raised the question sincerely, but “he has a lot of things to unravel.”

Bielsma said he knew that the questions to Spanton were risky, but he “gave her the option of not revealing anything she didn’t want to disclose.”

He told CBC News in a text message: “I did ask this question privately to someone I really thought about. I think it’s a fair answer based on a professional conversation that covers a lot of what happened during the pandemic. topic.”

“I have asked the tripartite members to raise serious concerns about the worst menstrual symptoms after vaccination. I just want to ask a difficult question about an uncomfortable topic.”

Niagara Regional Chairman “deeply concerned”

As the mayor of West Lincoln, Billsma also served as a member of the Niagara District Council.

Regional chairman Jim Bradley issued a statement on Tuesday evening condemning the issue and apologizing to Spanton.

Bradley said in the statement: “I am deeply concerned and troubled by Kuhn. Billsma will hold dialogues with residents on personal matters of personal concern.”

“It’s very disappointing that there is a need to make a statement about conversation topics that are clearly inappropriate. These types of interactions are embarrassing and respond poorly to our entire community.”
