hey joey is this meant for the public to view? it says "this video is private" or perhasp bc meeting is over we can't see it

I wondered what this conflict was too..was that disqualifying or non-disqualifying conflict 🤔

Can you spare a minute to help this campaign? MILLIONS LOST AT CITY HALL Hamilton Residents Demand Provincial Oversight.

1252 People have signed the petition requesting provincial oversight- after a long list of financial scandals have hit Hamilton over the last 3 years.. c.org/vYXN6ZpYCV

I would need to be pretty desperate to expose my self to left over fentanyl, scabies and other communicable diseases at our downtown batbroom. Not sure what the solution is but scenes like this are also not acceptable. photos sent to me from corktown portapotties. public washrooms are the same

Council just unanimously voted to change City policy - the new 'community liaison groups' will not be open to the public.

This Council term has seen even further decreases in transparency --- the opposite of the promises every single member of council ran on during the 2022 election. #yhmcc

you win internet comment of the day!!

does @cityofhamilton.bsky.social & @mayorandreahorwath.bsky.social need Provincial Independent Oversight over their financial and governance decisions? We as residents are absorbing their long laundry list of multi-million dollar mistakes. It has to end.

Correct me if I am misunderstanding, are you saying because this is new territory (building an outdoor shelter) they had a right to make such grave errors? because one thing they do have experience with is procurement and they just didn't follow their process so I don't buy that as an excuse..

Charles Brown for Mayor. "lack of effective oversight and experience in this type of project planning and contracting created a permissive environment where vendors had the opportunity to “make a meal” of the project while the City and its taxpayers absorbed the financial and operational fallout."

a gun was recovered in Jamesville a few months before it was demolished, (confirmed by talking to person who found it and seeing the photos) never heard a thing about it.

not sure about who was in between, but vast difference between Ms. Juditth Bishop and current Ward 2 Trustee.

I know you are a big bike guy, so not sure if that excites you or you are disappointed- but the current plan allows for only 12 parking spots between the 2-12 story buildings (CHH and Indwell)

this mzo was marketed to Hamiltonians as a solve to the housing crisis-yet the mayor-has allowed private market development ahead of the affordable. Perhaps I am wrong,but Hamiltonians have been duped-my guess is it will be 8-10 years before any affordable housing is there.Did you read all 600+

it was very odd today, to see a bus turn turn north on macnab, from ferrie st, for no apparent reason.

she was a legend many looked up to and revered .

yeah i get that but to be allowe to walk half way around to the deputy mayor seems like they could have intervened//haven't watched it yet--perhaps there was no opportunity

9 million spent on security this year, and not one of them could prevent this from happening? I've seen plainclothes corporate security and uniformed guards at meetings.

I made a very last-minute decision to The for resale tickets and I found one for $56! I felt very lucky to take in this iconic Hamilton moment

I imagine it was very difficult for those TD Coliseum folks to offer any freebies to Kroetsch given his controversial comments about the development.

Do you know these were "gifts"? I understood them to be from the tourism department, spread out amongst city employees. The hospitals for example, get free tickets for staff all the time for Bulldogs, Ticats and Toronto Rock games to disperse to employees (usually via a draw)

No doubt this is true, but I have seen him in our riding in his short time far more than his predecessor in all of his time

much like John Best from the Bay Observer and his perseverance of the pervasive OW fraud and tenants who don't pay rent. Seems to be one of the only journalists willing to shed light- despite the info being sent to many others

Policing Free School Is Disability Justice YouTube video by Disability Justice Network of Ontario

in light of your podcasts, you should watch this, featuring Hamilton school board trustee comparing the school system to prisons and promoting white supremacy. the segment starts at roughly the 4hr11 minute mark @sabreinadahab.bsky.social

I worked this last election, it was a harrowing, eye opening experience

they tell me its bc of staffing issues required to moderate all
posts... but they really do seem to pick and choose where comments are allowed. But hey, they ran the story.

I can't see the post, (blocked) but I read in the SPEC about an email
conversation they had that contradicts his public statement.

"However, Horwath said Kroetsch emailed her after she informed council about the decision and told her he thought it was the “right choice.”

I may be wrong, but I believe they can be across the street and on the street such as a moving vehicle. just not on the property or block.

Make more room for Hamilton’s homeless We cannot justify housing financially stable families while the truly needy struggle to find shelter.

"There is a blind spot in our social housing system. In practice,our social housing is considered to be a place to live forever regardless of income or assets.The system has a great intake process, but no exit program." www.thespec.com/opinion/cont...

yes, caught that too, really confusing where he sits on the issue, but maybe how he feels depends on who he is talking about. Friend, living outside your ward is A-OK, foe, i.e. Jason Farr, it's a travesty.
