Don’t drive on Halloween. Let the kids have a night.

A cop car carrying a flashing neon sign that says "DOUG FORD HATES YOU." Perfect, no notes, thanks for the great visual @ TV writers of the universe!

Hostile govt. If the chuckleheads who support this removal action ever faced this kind of hostility from govt while just trying to get around they’d loose their fucking minds.

Be safe out there Hamilton friends.

A mayoral candidate in Ottawa has come out against Alto High-Speed Rail. I don’t understand point #2: “If this doesn’t go downtown to downtown, adding 30 mins at each end defeats the whole purpose.” I thought we didn’t know the route yet? Opposing it based on an “if”?

New ERO posting for data centres just dropped. Regulatory nerds, it’s time to shine. ero.ontario.ca/notice/026-0...

I think it was really brave of the mayor to share this but oh boy, have the online comments been a sickening reminder of how much people hate women. Somehow, the person getting a pat on the back on social media is Loomis while the mayor takes more abuse for vulnerably sharing her experience.

The Hamilton Police Service Board announced their meeting would begin at 11:00 a.m. today The Board invoked emergency provisions and held the meeting at 10:30 a.m. this morning - de facto preventing the public from attending. The public meeting was over at 11:00 a.m. #yhmcc

Congrats, Canes. Eat shit, Carter Hart.

Men get emotional about women sports,,, I just try do it in a positive way

This historic snowfall will surely cause the roof of the Ontario Science Centre to collapse, right? Seeing as how it was already at “critical risk” of collapse before? Right?

I reached out to Jason Allen, author of 52 Things to Do in Hamilton: The Insider’s Guide to Fun in the Hammer ( @wolsakandwynn.bsky.social, 2025) to ask him about his book & his experience travel writing the hyper local. Read our interview here: creativenonfictioncollective.ca/interview-wi...

On this day in 1989, an armed gunman murdered 14 women at École Polytechnique de Montréal. Another ten women and four men were injured. The anniversary of the massacre is commemorated annually on Dec. 6 as the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

A crossing guard was killed by the driver of a dump truck yesterday. absolutely heartbreaking. Look at our intersections, look how hostile these are for people/children - this is what we continue to build and defend at all costs. These aren't accidents, these are results. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The environmental carnage continues.

"As the father of a toddler, DeVito's biggest fear is unsafe roads. He knows firsthand how rambunctious young children can be and can see their lack of situational awareness at times. It also doesn't help that car crashes are one of the leading cause of death in children in Canada."

For our cities, police and any other voices of authority. Just want to get ahead of the kid shaming content that's coming this Halloween. @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social

How a judge could see evidence of that text “ We’ve got to get our stories straight” and not conclude nefariousness, I can’t even! 🤦‍♂️🤨

Children don't vote, but they are being thrown under a metaphorical F350 through the politicization of a mode of transport that is most accessible to them for independent mobility. The violation of #ChildRights inherent in Houston's statement should concern us all #CarBrain #ZeroVisionHFX

rebranding the 15 min city.

Heads-up, Canada, it seems Wayne Gretzky is eventually going to call all of us and cry, rather than simply publicly denounce his friend Donald Trump’s plan to annex our nation. Someone really needs to tell Gretzky to skate to where the puck is going, not where it has been.

BREAKING: Ontario has lost the 2025 provincial election

Doug Ford celebrates majority win by demolishing closest hospital

A motion to stop work on the 2025 Hamilton Light Rail Transit project is on tomorrow's Hamilton City Council agenda. Effectively a vote to kill the project. [City posted the motion just before 6:00 p.m.] #yhmcc #HamOnt

Just when I thought today’s GIC couldn’t get any less transparent.

As we feared - there are more proposed cuts on the agenda for tomorrow #HamOnt.

They definitely have the money for new tanks though right? 🫠

“oh, you think conservative men are terrified of big cities? common mistake. we are actually all just self-taught jason bournes.”

“We owe it to children and young people to include them in architectural and urban discourse, not to suit our own agendas but as a hitherto neglected section of society with a significant role to play in shaping urban life. We urgently need evidence-based policy that shows us how to achieve that.”

The hardest part of pushing back on billionaire-owned services is the convenience they offer. Voting with your dollars means accepting some friction in life. I know it’s hard with our packed days, but I see no other real option to make a difference.

New column from me: Mayor Horwath must act *TODAY* to unfreeze the Barton/Tiffany tiny shelters project, before someone freezes to death. Call a proven tiny shelter supplier - worst that can happen is 'extra' shelters to use or give to HATS #yhmcc #HamOnt www.thepublicrecord.ca/2024/12/cole...

Dec. 6, 1989: A gunman went into École Polytechnique in Montreal and murdered 14 women, while injuring 10 women and four men. Today is now the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

The worst is new sidewalks that are super sloped for every curb cut. I'm so happy I finished with strollers before those came. City planners should be required to walk around the city with a stroller full of stemware and a large ill-trained puppy on a leash to get the proper parent experience.

Walking around my neighborhood in #HamOnt with a young baby has been infuriating. She’s just 10 weeks old and we’ve almost been hit by a car 5 times in crosswalks. We need better road design.

Given how often this body interprets any difference of opinion or challenge to their way of thinking as 'disrespect', this isn't great. IANAL, but if this idea goes anywhere at all I foresee yet another legal battle over Charter Rights being brought against the City of Hamilton. #HamOnt #yhmcc
