Oh, it has been flagged to them.
I was hoping to avoid re-sharing the link to avoid perpetuating the mis-information because the positioning advice is so horrible, but here it is:

What was said:
"ride as far to the right shoulder as possible" while the video shows the officer riding literally on the curb side-by-side with a car in a sharrow lane.
Also, cycling is characterized as a seasonal recreation activity instead of a legitimate year-round mode of transport.
The incorrect positioning was re-iterated in the Record:
"in some areas in the core of Kitchener and Waterloo where there are sharrows, the roadway is "simply too narrow" and cyclists need to get to the right of the road, he said."
Isn't that why it says "single file" on all the streets with sharrows? To avoid motorists trying to squeeze by people cycling?

Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
