Saddened to learn of the passing of Jim Bradley. An honourable man and so dedicated to Niagara. Rest in peace Jim.

@statusisdown Down in Hamilton

@ElectionsCan_E Have more staff - that’s what is needed.

[Mary Lou Tanner @MLTPlanner]

It’s advance poll day. Heads up Hamilton Centre - the poll in east Hamilton is woefully understaffed. @ElectionsCan_E - you need more staff for the weekend. I’m 30 minutes into waiting and not even halfway to the poll clerk.

@SaundersWard10 @ElectionsCan_E I’ve pulled the dud line as well Viv. The whole setup is terrible. And paper ballots in 2025? Good gracious we had scanned ballots provincially (at last). Poll 607 needs more staff and a better set up.

@karinagould @MarkJCarney You are all class and grace Karina.

@cityofhamilton Thanks but I don’t have the access code to complete it online. I haven’t received the letter or final tax bill with the access code. The phone system isn’t stable it appears.

@kitch226 @LauraBabcock @ontario_liberal @OntarioNDP My federal riding comprises 4 city wards. My councillor canvassed doors twice over 4 months in the last city election. She didn’t get to all doors twice. Invite the candidates for coffee? Set up an appointment at the campaign office? Or invite neighbours for a meet n greet?

@JoeyColeman We’ve seen this before. Bratina 2022. This show is a rerun.

This is great news for a whole bunch of reasons - housing, transit, building community. In my wee corner of this gracious city. 😁 Former Faith Lutheran Church to be resurrected as affordable housing https://t.co/ME7a15UQHj

This gorgeous city.

[Mary Lou Tanner @MLTPlanner]

@BlairScorgie I’m sorry. Rest in peace Susan. Sending hugs Blair.

@w_mehlenbacher @JoeyColeman @cityofhamilton @TedMcMeekin 18 townhouses with one driveway accessing an arterial road. First submitted December 2018. Revised in 2023. Professional traffic review says it’s fine. Density review says it’s fine. Sigh. Story telling - ok, but housing needs leadership. And making hard decisions.

A great start to the morning walk. #HamOnt

The incredible Somia Sadiq who is leading incredible work on reconciliation is a new member of the College of Fellows. Our profession is so much stronger with leaders like Somia. Congratulations. @CIP_ICU
