Council refused to even send a reminder to organizations receiving taxpayer funding (under 300 service contracts) that they're contractually required to uphold City by-laws and follow City policy🤔

Should social justice organizations continue have this much influence in #HamOnt?

Council rejects booting Hamilton legal clinic from tenant program over encampment litigation Council has rejected booting the Hamilton Community Legal Clinic from a city tenant-support program due to its role in encampment-related litigation.

This term of #HamOnt Council, paid advocates & special interest groups have had an inordinate level of influence over @cityofhamilton policy and taxpayer funding.

Even when tax dollars are funding organizations working against City by-laws - Council refuses to act.

Hamilton council votes to carry out post-encampment protocol plan Hamilton city councillors voted 13-2 in favour of moving forward with a plan to carry out its post-encampment protocol.

Encampment supporters have held #HamOnt parks hostage long enough - ending tomorrow.

And until the "Federal Housing Advocate" acknowledges the destruction of neighbourhoods and the $200M taxpayers are investing in homelessness solutions, she can go pound sand.

Hamilton Votes 2025: Hamilton Mountain YouTube video by CABLE 14

Regardless of the vote tally on Thursday, I am so incredibly proud of the poise & grace of Dawn Danko for the OLP.

If you missed it live, the Cable14 provincial parliament candidates debate for #HamOnt Mountain is available below.

It's definitely worth watching!

Pleased to welcome Canada's next Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social to #HamOnt 🇨🇦

At a time of crisis, when our economy, way of life, & even national sovernty is threatened, Canadians are realizing we need responsible leadership with actual policy, beyond silly three word catch phrases.

Happy Family Day #HamOnt - hope you had a great day to enjoy with loved ones.

Happy anniversary Dawn ❤️

22 years officially...nearly 29 unofficially...

Sadly, this is not the first time we've celebrated by canvassing...🤔🤪

At today's Budget meeting, I learned that the #HamOnt Poet is considered infrastructure...

So, does that make the Poet a rhyming consultant?

Despite #defundthepolice agitators again attempting to disrupt democratic debate, one real bright spot from todays Budget meeting was a resounding 14-2 defeat of the annual defund the police motion.

Hopefully, this finally puts an end to this defund the police nonsense.

Two more Integrity Commissioner complaints against me - retaliation for speaking up for residents against homeless encampments, and of course the mortal sin of publicly criticizing @cameronkroetsch.bsky.social - just another day in #HamOnt 🥱

The report will be released soon - more to come.

+81% increase in property crime

+304% increase in fires
+76% increase in paramedic police assistance
+17% in social disorder

Hamilton has an opioid crisis. So why have 19 drug cases been dropped? In the span of a week, federal Crowns in Hamilton dropped charges in almost 20 cases against alleged drug dealers, a pattern Hamilton police warn will increase the flow of drugs in the community.

Police do the hard work to bring drug dealers to justice, then federal prosectors drop the case in court.

Drugs are directly linked to homelessness, guns, violent and property crime, major safety issues in #HamOnt

Taxpayers need accountability from the federal Crown

Limit funds to ‘good-faith’ partners, Hamilton councillor says Coun. John-Paul Danko’s proposals spark concerns about “unintended consequences.”

“...do whatever you want on your own time with your own money."

But when you're using #HamOnt taxpayer's money:

“...you work co-operatively with the city toward a common interest … That’s just some basic accountability when public funding is involved.”

You 'n me both, buddy.

Big encampment litigation news today for #HamOnt & cities across Canada.

Notwithstanding the court - at this time of year, when people continue to suffer in the cold, the @cityofhamilton will continue to do what we can with the resources we have available to help those in need.
