lil photo walk on the west side of dt cause I haven't been there in years. lots of new traffic (both vehicular and pedestrian) despite King, Main and Queen still being hostile car sewers. will be interesting to see how this changes w/LRT and 2-way conversions over the next few years. #hamont

Heritage Thursday shifted a day because of the Provincial election, but we're back today to highlight another civic jewel - the Lister Block in the Beasley neighbourhood. It has a storied past and practical modern use with ground floor retail and City offices above. #HamOnt

If you're gullible enough to vote for Doug Ford, a man who never met a rich Conservative crony he wouldn't collude with, because you think he's going to stand up to Trump, the ultimate rich Conservative crony, you're bad at voting and should maybe just sit this one out. #onpoli #ontario

The City of Hamilton still hasn't got to King William Street at the Lister Block. Each day, the combination of people walking, melting, and evaporation, is doing the work the City has not yet done. Many HSR stops remain front door only. #hamont #yhmcc

It's election week in Hamilton Centre. My observations as a resident in Ontario's most interesting riding, where the philosophical divides of the NDP coalition are on display. I do not see 'vote splitting' as a relevant issue here. Column on TPR #HamOnt thepublicrecord.ca/2025/02/cole...

What the actual hell is this, Hamilton? The storm ended almost a week ago. Do better. #hamont #hsr

the mountain by comparison to the lower city is an absolute disaster for cleared sidewalks, especially near Limeridge. You better believe that the thousands of mostly empty parking spots are all clear though. Absolutely car brained. #HamOnt #accessibilityfail

Snow clearing must be completed by 7:00 a.m. on Friday City of Hamilton enforcement of Snow and Ice By-law No. 03-296 in effect at 7am [Spoiler alert: Hamilton City Hall will do its usual non-enforcement. The same properties that never clear snow will continue to not clear snow] #yhmcc #HamOnt

HSR bus stop snow clearing is definitely a work in progress, seems like the ones farther East are yet to be done. Be careful if you need to walk places today. #hamont #hsr

Multiple HSR buses are out of service and blocking lanes on York Blvd at James. HSR articulated buses are significantly impacted by the heavy wet snow and icy conditions #hamont

I've also written a blog post regarding today's fire. I'll note none of the online speculation I've read regarding the cause of the fire is consistent with videos of the fire or its intensity. I will not speculate further. Let's wait for investigators to share info #HamOnt

Hamilton Fire Chief Dave Cunliffe states three people died in the fire at 35 Brock - the Marina Towers. One adult and two children. #HamOnt Ontario Fire Marshall's Office will investigate.

So with Ford announcing a snap election, does any left-leaning voter even know which NDP candidate is running in Hamilton-East/Stoney Creek? Cause I don't. And that might be exactly why Ford will win a third re-election. Absolutely unacceptable for a (former) NDP stronghold like Hamilton. #hamont

I've spent a lot of time in downtown Hamilton, specifically the King East/International Village but I haven't been there much in the past few years due to mobility issues and not living here. Here's a little collection of photos I took on an xmas eve walk dt. #hamont

This morning, Cycle Toronto launched a Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms Section 7 challenge to the provincial government’s Bill 212. The lawsuit also seeks an immediate injunction to prevent the removal of target bike lanes on Bloor, University, and Yonge. 1/

Since the beginning of the new City of Hamilton, there have been citizen advisory committees. Council will vote tomorrow on a city staff request to eliminate advisory committees and end this democratic tradition. Tonight, the Climate Change Advisory Committee is meeting. #yhmcc
