2022 Ward 5 city council candidate, Hamilton. Proud Hamiltonian and local resident. Speaking up where needed, my views are my own

I have rebranded my website as a personal blog where I will write my musings on how I feel we can make change for the better for Hamilton, Ontario, and Canada. Please have a read of my first blog at https://t.co/sU4a8WEI8x

@JoeyColeman He was my daughter’s principal when she started school, and I worked with him directly as the School Council Chair. If he cares for his constituents half as much as he did for his students, Ward 11 is in good hands

#Outage in #Hamilton in the area of Parkdale Av to Grays Rd and North Service Rd To Greenhill Ave affecting approx 9927 homes and businesses. Crews dispatched. ETR 4:00pm. For more info visit https://t.co/QwYiVrDG0w #pwrout ^pa

@JoeyColeman The part that I find interesting is that Matt said, during the Cable 14 debate, that the intensification should happen “downtown”. Is Queenston and Nash downtown? I think he won over a lot of votes of people who thought he would be against this throughout the ward

This is one of the hardest things I have ever had to write. My dad passed away on Sunday, November 6.

Taking a break from all the #HamOnt political stuff, I am doing a Movember fundraiser. Any support is appreciated 🥸 https://t.co/je886Cd5XL

@JasonThorne_RPP I have noticed that people turn into the wrong lane when turning left, but some people did that before, so it’s hard to say if the left-turn calming is the reason or not

I suspect it may be because I didn’t know them prior to this election campaign. That doesn’t change my viewpoint on this matter

[Bob Hurst @BobHurstWard5]

I have written the following letter to the editor of @TheSpec. Hopefully they publish it.

While the information is relevant, it doesn't need to be the leading content of the story

Seems like I won't be able to cancel my subscription just yet. I am foolishly on an annual plan, so cancelling will have to wait. FWIW, reminders on the phone are great for this stuff :)

Losing my faith in humanity doing an online grocery order: I am making a jello mold for Halloween 🎃, I needed to know how many boxes I would need to make six cups. Google tells me one box makes 15 shots… is that everyone’s go-to for jello?!

What to write 4 days before the election for the day after…?

Transit area rating.

We can not achieve our goals without a reliable and robust transit system.

First up for the new Hamilton council: Area rating transit | https://t.co/WszHBSmOe8 https://t.co/FoAZ6cpAf5

@JohnPaulDanko I got 12/16 on my own personal predictions (which included 10 and 11, btw 🤓). Best of luck for the next four years; I’m really happy with this upcoming group

[Bob Hurst @BobHurstWard5]

I am, however, excited for the possibilities for the city as a whole. Some great new councillors, and history being made with the first female mayor in Hamilton’s history. Congratulations to all! 2/2

[Bob Hurst @BobHurstWard5]

While I am disappointed in the result in Ward 5, I feel that I learned a lot and I will continue to be engaged and active in my city. 1/

@mattjelly Giant Tiger?

[Bob Hurst @BobHurstWard5]

@Daniella7_ Thanks for the kind words. I definitely plan on staying involved and making sure that our ward moves forward with the rest of the city

[Bob Hurst @BobHurstWard5]

@JoeyColeman I have confirmation that Ward 5 will close at 8 pm. There were no actual delays in Ward 5 locations, apparently
