The Conservatives federal or provincial have NO climate action plan - NONE - in fact they have policies to hurry up the climate crisis. If you have children or grandchildren this should not be the ok with you
It appears that the HDLC adopted boycott of a private operator for Hamilton LRT will be in effect for a decade. Councillors and the Mayor contracted out @ATU107 jobs to an unknown operator. Shameful display of wayward trusteeship over tax dollars! #HSRnotLRT @keeptransitpub
Sorry? What middle class person do you know that made $250000 in capital gains? 50% of Canadians live pay check to pay check

Poilievre ignores the fact that the vast majority of Cdns get a bigger payment from the Feds than they pay via tax. Starting Apr 1, a family of 4 in Ont gets a rebate of $1,120 / $280 quarterly. The less fossil fuels you use, the further ahead you are. That's the point! #HamOnt
Think of a home. The heart of it isn't the hallway that leads you from door to door. It's the living room, where people want to spend their time. Roads are like hallways. A prosperous downtown is like a living room.
You have to love how Danko tries to take the high road...and then stumbles over himself by making a typical passive-aggressive comment about people being children for caring about transparency, democracy and representation.

Taskforce on Housing & Climate- key findings: 1) Legalize density 2) Implement better building codes 3) Invest in factory-built housing 4) Don’t build in high risk areas (ie floodplains)

The unelected appointees on Hamilton's Police Services Board are undermining municipal democracy by going after an elected official for motions made at Council and for speech intimately tied to their elected role. My column explaining why: thepublicrecord.ca/2024/03/colema… #yhmcc #HamOnt
I can see why the folks on the police board are upset - someone is actually doing their job for probably the first time ever.

Children in Gaza are so hungry they are eating animal feed to stay alive. This is what our political leaders have normalised with their silence. A ceasefire is a basic demand to stop people dying — and should be made by anyone who believes in the equal value of human life.
Ontario healthcare unions share stark numbers: • 2,096 people died on waiting lists for surgeries in 2022-2023, up almost 50% from year before • 9,400 patients died waiting for MRI & CT scans • currently 37,000 vacancies in hospitals “we have nowhere near the capacity we need”
Local government isn’t the lowest level of some government food chain, it’s the highest level of collaboration for people working together in a place.
New @OntarioHealthC report finds Ford government is giving “unprecedented” public money to private hospitals & clinics: funding is up 300%. Government is also paying more for surgeries at private clinics. Cataract surgery costs avg $500 at public hospital vs. $1,200 at clinic.
If you live in a ward represented by Matt Francis, Tom Jackson, Esther Pauls, Brad Clark, Jeff Beattie, Mark Tadeson, Mike Spadafora or Ted McMeekin, please take a minute to contact them to reverse their vote against building 67 affordable housing units in Stoney Creek. #HamOnt

All 8 of these councillors are choosing the continued support and expansion of encampments across the city by voting against housing solutions. If you are against people living in tents in your neighborhood and also against public or non profit housing, you are anti-solution.

$650 MILLION SPENT ON VANITY SUPER BOWL COMMERCIALS THIS YEAR BY LOTS OF COMPANIES WHO SAY THEY DON’T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY THEIR WORKERS A LIVING WAGE.
Boy. @22_Minutes absolutely is knocking it out of the park with their Pierre impression. Absolute masterclass of satirical comedy ⬇️
Bell took $40M in public money, used it to up the dividend, sold the assets, fired the employees Let’s Talk!

The Trudeau govt gave $40 million to Bell without a jobs guarantee. Bell fired 9% of its workforce, closed newsrooms, and lined the pockets of its stakeholders. We have to confront corporate greed in this country. Not bankroll it like the Liberals and Conservatives are.

Doug Ford, it’s time that your government reverses the Keffiyeh ban.
I'll be there in support. Every single one of us must work together to challenge this racist Keffiyeh ban. @fordnation move a motion, collect your people and reverse this ban. You can force community out of the building, but you can't silence us all. Ball is in your court.
Doug Ford, it’s time that your government reverses the Keffiyeh ban.
Words well spoken by my Council colleague @MarkTadeson about Council's approval of the implementing by-law for a Vacant Unit Tax. "Would you be willing to spend 5 minutes a year to possibly bring on hundreds of units to the Hamilton market?"🏘️🏘️ Clip👉youtu.be/U2AYolu78Ic?t=…
This type of garment might have benign cultural origins (I don't know for sure, I'm very ignorant) but now it represents a political worldview I do not share and should be banned from the legislature #onpoli

MPP Sarah Jama being asked to leave to legislature for wearing keffiyeh #onpoli
The Ontario legislature's keffiyeh ban is racist. Full-on bigoted. It's immoral to obey unjust laws.
@zahrasultani_ This is ridiculous. I'm a proud Muslim. I wore hijab as a teen, and started wearing it again during Ramadan alongside studying the Quran. During Ramadan I decided to wear it permanently. I have wanted to wear it again for so long. You don't get to tell me how to practice my faith
Go @SarahJama_ Sometimes actions speak louder than words.
BTW: Sarah Jama is openly defying the keffiyeh ban in the Ontario legislature. #onpoli

This is my elected official. She is a politician who believes “political statements” have no place in a political legislature. No red poppies? No white ribbons? No orange shirts? Nah, all that’s ok. She really means no Palestinian cultural attire. It’s racism. #EgLaw #onpoli
On Thursday, I voted against providing unanimous consent to overturn Speaker Arnott’s ruling that the keffiyeh makes a political statement at this time. (1/11)
NEW: Ahead of the vote on keffiyehs at Queen's Park, PC party insiders told Global News government MPPs were instructed to “stay out of the chamber” if they did not support a motion by the NDP to reverse the ban. globalnews.ca/news/10431812/… #onpoli
