#HamOnt - White supremacists do not get to decide who belongs in Hamilton. I stand unequivocally with Kojo and with every Hamiltonian who has been targeted because of the colour of their skin, their faith, their identity, or their background.
To those who think they can intimidate people out of participating in our democracy: you will not succeed.

Today’s charges are an important step in holding those who spread antisemitism and hate accountable. Hamilton’s Jewish communities continues to experience high rates of hate crimes.
As Jewish communities in Hamilton and around the world mark Rosh Hashanah there is no place for hate, intimidation or antisemitism in our city.
We wish all those celebrating a safe and meaningful Rosh Hashanah.
.@FactCheckerX your bias is showing.
Hate doesn’t wait and neither do we.
Those who sow divisions help only those seeking to divide.
Your false equivalence comparison comments at best imply our response times for public statements represent a lack of concern and worse a disregard for antisemitism. It’s the furthest from the truth.
It’s simple, we do our best to respond once we become aware of hate activity. Hence the late evening message post.

#Hamont I was proud to stand with so many people from across our community at City Hall today and send a clear message: hate has no home in Hamilton.
We know who we are and what we value - a diverse, welcoming community that stands up for one another.
Thank you to the organizers and community organizations who brought people together today and continue the important work of building a city where everyone feels safe, respected and welcome.
We stand together. We stand against hate. And we stand for Hamilton.

Today I announced my resignation from the #HPSB, almost three years into my term as the Citizen Appointee. I called out the persistent mistreatment I experienced in the role and a profound failure of governance. Link to my full letter here: https://t.co/kOdebeBj2P
We are disturbed and shocked by the targeting and damaging of a school bus in Hamilton, ON that serviced an Islamic school in the area.
It is alleged that someone may have targeted the school bus in a parking lot full of school buses, vandalized it with Islamophobic graffiti, and damaged the bus including shredding bus seats.
We are in touch with the school, community members, and all authorities, including the Hamilton Police, regarding the situation.
The targeting of a school bus that services Muslim children during a time of rising Islamophobic violence is alarming to the highest degree. While we cannot confirm the motivation behind this attack at this time, and we will wait until the police have a final determination, it is extremely concerning.
We call on all leaders to denounce what happened, and to work with community members to stem this tide of Islamophobia.
We will have more to say as the situation evolves.
Finally a letter to #Niagara Dailies from someone who gets it.
