@rosuw2@MMiersma@CHCHNews Halton police don't investigate in Hamilton. It's Hamilton Police who is doing the media briefing at 12:45. CHCH has made an error they need to correct.
@Captaincoby00 100% support! Would save money in the long run if everyone was guaranteed a UBI. Feds will need to show the math to demonstrate how to those who are skeptical
@stanleyver74592@JackKut2@gcrawfordHamOnt@AndreaHorwath@NrinderWard3@JoeyColeman@BayObserver many of these folks likely don't have a monthly social service cheque because they don't have an address/ID/ or other necessary documents and means to qualify. Also, how much do you expect them to contribute on the pittance the province gives them? Barely enough to stay alive...
@seanmrush@JoeyColeman@AndreaHorwath "close at least some civic facilities and grant all municipal employees a paid vacation day" Key word...SOME... others will be working to run events and doing critical work that can't be delayed and will, presumably, be granted a day in lieu.
@JackKut2@gcrawfordHamOnt That cost isn't just for the shelter. It includes food, security, water, hydro, critical wrap around supports, etc etc. It's not easy (or cheap) to assist folks to overcome the hurdles they are facing.
@Sflecce Is it too much to ask that we focus on other things in this province? I don't know maybe....housing, healthcare, the environment, education...you know...the small things.
OFFS! Cheers to choice? What about Ontarians who have no choice but to sleep outside because Ford won't built affordable housing? Or seniors who can't choose which LTC they live in? Or autism families who can't choose services? Or families who can't choose doctors? #ON#Onpoli
@JoeyColeman@cityofhamilton "The resulting analysis, spanning from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023" New term started Nov/22. Almost 1/2 of this "study" was previous term & it takes time for these changes to trend. Accurate reporting goes a long way Joey, stop skewing to fit your narrative
@historyinmemes More accurately, gymnast Carrie Strugs' vault that she was forced to deliver on a severely injured ankle bc she was pressured by her abusive coaches who guilted her into risking her health
@Real__BubbleBoy @frances_twitr @TheSpec Kind of like my Hamilton mountain neighbour who killed his wife? Or the one in the same neighbourhood who got busted for a drug op in his home? Or...wait....my Ancaster neighbour whose house was raided and the found drugs AND guns?? Bad people are everyone, so are good ones
@frances_twitr @TheSpec You mean Alyssa Stryker <gasp> parented? She taught her children <clutches pearls> a lesson in politics and another lesson in compassion? The horror...
@JoeyColeman There's over 23,000 municipalities in Canada and the US. 1,700 of them won an award...that's about 7%. In Ontario only 4% of all municipalities were given an award. Far from a participation ribbon.
@menrvasofia I would agree with you but for the beneficiaries of this plan (aka Loblaw Corporation and the like). I can't help but believe this is more about helping Doug's buddies...again...
@P0RK3R@CBCHamilton@alexwilson96 Nope...your taxes mostly went up because MPAC is reassessing property values and the provincial government keeps downloading their responsibilities to the municipality
@shaw_sandy Education, lack of funding for children with special needs, climate crisis, affordability, scandal after scandal, downloading costs to municipalities, shall I continue.....
