@Aliceinwunderl3 As a cis man reading it made me physically ill and extremely anxious all night. I couldn’t even imagine what reading it would be like for a trans or queer person.
@Jessa_McLean@hamiltonlabour I emailed ONDP to express my displeasure and to let them know that if @SarahJama_ runs as an independent I will support her over the NDP next election.
@menrvasofia@JustinTrudeau There isn’t a difference between how seniors and adults are paid. Trudeau just mentioned the average for seniors while talking about the max number for everyone else. The words “senior” “60” or “65” do not appear on the page about it.

@menrvasofia@JustinTrudeau What?! You’re comparing average and maximum, then getting upset when average is below the maximum? I think generally, this is mediocre at best policy that doesn’t address the real issues, but those numbers aren’t comparable…
@HamOntWard4@AndreaHorwath I assume that you both will vote against this and advocate for transparency. Passing this would be very contradictory to everything you have said publicly about transparency.
@enkayfour @ajesusjoseph No Clark removed him as chair, Council voted to overrule Clark but that failed 6-6 (needed 2/3rds). I think Joey Coleman posted the screenshot of who voted which way.
@timquerengesser It used to be good. People still go out of habit convenience. Donuta were fresh and great, now are crap. Even their coffee is different.
@Ward4Max@BusGays No Max, politicians (now includes you) and the news act likes crime is going up for outrage and engagement. This is an American study but there are of a ton of others to show people’s perception of crime and actual crime are going in opposite directions. https://t.co/wIE3HGUfA9
@Laura4ward4 @angelicahasbon @brknrun@joelplans For sure, I’d just be surprised if any candidate gets more than about 20% of the vote since there are so many options. That’s why municipalities need to adopt ranked voting but they won’t because it makes it less likely to get re-elected.
@Laura4ward4 @angelicahasbon @brknrun@joelplans Really wish there was ranked voting. So many good candidates for #Ward4. Would rather choose someone then have the old guy choose for me.
@Laura4ward4 @angelicahasbon @brknrun@joelplans The gross part of his endorsement is that he said he reached out to her in 2018 so he could have a smooth transition to the next councillor. That’s not how democracy works, you don’t get to choose your replacement. It’s undemocratic and narcissistic if that’s how your mind works
@brknrun@joelplans @Laura4ward4 @angelicahasbon Re his endorsement of Alex Johnstone "I put on the back burner for several reasons"... HMMMM wonder what those could be??????? Municipal elections badly needs ranked voting
