When institutions feel like their power is threatened, they will revert back to what they do best: weaponize their rule book to shut down legitimate critique. It’s how you know they were never about change. Thank you for your commitment to transparency, @CameronKroetsch
My speech from the @YWCAHamilton Women of Distinction awards last week! White feminism never has & never will save us. It continues to be Free Sudan, Free Congo & Free Palestine🕊️
Hamilton's Police Board decision to file a complaint against Cameron is playground behaviour. What are these boards telling us when they start policing their own members for asking questions they should have answers to? It's giving fascism lite.

My cousin got her first period while forcibly displaced in a tent in southern Gaza. Her mother spent two days looking for sanitary pads & painkillers amid israel’s genocide & blockade of aid supplies. For International Women’s Day, call out feminists who are silent on Palestine.
"I will no longer be complicit in genocide. I'm about to engage in an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers it's not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.”

To quote a friend, we should read each politician’s falsification of events that happened at last night’s protest for Rafah in Toronto for what they really are: a bid for criminal charges. Sanctioning of more surveillance and early morning raids. And just like clockwork ⏰

Wild. There are at least 10 seats in City Hall 264. Not sure why people can't sit in them. I'm in meetings in this room all the time and people manage to sit in the seats just fine. Nothing to see here. 😐 #HamOnt

A disgusting display of hypocrisy & disregard for community. While life or death social services remain subject to defunding, shaving off $5m worth of frivolous costs from HPS’s requested $215m budget is apparently unfathomable. What a joke.

easily disproven lie (a march briefly passed by a hospital on its route, some guy climbed its scaffolding for like 5 minutes) perpetuated to force people to argue about the lie rather than pay attention to israel carpet bombing 1.4 million people stuck in a 25 square mile area

That police board meeting was an undemocratic nightmare... If you're also frustrated, show up to this press conference to demand that council reject the police budget increase and instead invest in community services that actually keep us safe!

Our children went to bed with empty stomach, and now, they have waken up hungry weeping as they want to eat, but there is nothing to feed them! Some people might not imagine this, but this is the reality on the ground in northern #Gaza. Do anything for us and for our children,…
Safety is having a home. Safety is having a livable income. Safety is having enough food to eat. Safety is having equitable outcomes for everyone. Without access to safety, crime increases. And policing crime doesn't stop it from happening; only increasing safety does.

Every year, the police budget is the largest municipal budget item. As I told @CBCHamilton, it's "not solved the opioid crisis, poverty, and homelessness. It criminalizes people facing concurrent crises. We're putting money into police while under-funding social solutions."

This is a really important study as #HamOnt city council entertains a proposed increase to the Hamilton Police budget. “We didn’t find a consistent association between police spending and crime rates". The demand is still to defund the police and invest in actual resources.

Curious why the chair of the General Issue Committee meeting did not ask council if they had any questions for delegate Sahra Soudi. Is it now up to the discretion of the chair and their opinions of the delegation? @cityofhamilton

I don’t know who needs to hear this but if you stop being an ally because you feel you don’t like how a marginalized person treated you, you were never an ally Human rights are fundamental and should not be contingent on powerful people feeling like their ring has been kissed

"Not everyone wants to live in a highrise" said a councillor who voted against building a 3-storey & 5-storey affordable housing development
Furthermore @MarkTadeson - there is nothing progressive about regressing to the old status quo of developing farmland here and there until nothing is left. "this frozen boundary thing" is the forward thinking, extremely popular, position #HamOnt residents have fought for.

You should get tax breaks for not driving, for not owning a car, for commuting by public transit. It's a total policy mindfuck that drivers get subsidies for new electric cars ostensibly for the environment but the minimal impact of non-drivers isn't recognized whatsoever.
columbia students have literally been sprayed with chemical weapons, arrested, charged, evicted, suspended, and threatened with almost every other kind of discipline and retaliation by a highly punitive/hostile institution....this escalation is so brave!
At around 4am today, hundreds of @Columbia students descended on the main lawn and launched the Gaza Solidarity Encampment. Nearly 60 tents were erected in minutes, with plans to remain until the school divests from Israel’s genocide of Palestine.
Arrests of comrades @DesmondCole & others for exposing Conservative Harper's profiting from Israel's genocide is another in a long list of the police's failed attempts to scare our movement for justice for Palestine Solidarity & escalation is necessary. They can't jail us all.

Police Services Board Member and elected City Councillor who asks about the Police Budget is somehow worthy of complaint and investigation?! This flailing reaction to basic inquiry into the Police budget should tell people a lot about what goes on here. Manipulation & silencing.
Hamilton’s Police Board has filed a complaint against me with the Ontario Civilian Police Commission and an investigation has begun. The Board says I violated the Code of Conduct by bringing motions about the budget to Council and speaking out about the budget process. #HamOnt
Remember during last year's police budget talks, when activists opposing an increase disrupted a council meeting, followed by lots of talk/pearl clutching re: decorum & using "proper channels" to affect change? Well this year an elected official tried that and guess what? #HamOnt
