What part of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarentees the right to free expresssion - especially signs at public municipal meetings - are Ontario's mayors unclear about? "A sign on her laptop asking the province to stop strong mayor powers. McIsaac asked her to take her sign down."

I’ve spent a lot of time lately trying to understand the capacity of the federal government - particularly the bureaucracy - to meet the moment and implement Mark Carney’s agenda, and what could be done to improve it. Here’s (some of) what I came away with. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

I set a goal of clearing my backlog of open tabs, not yet published drafts, and unanswered emails by the end of day on Tuesday. Thus far, I've opened around 20 more tabs in my browser, and started three new drafts. 😅

Note: As detailed in numerous decisions by Ontario's Information and Privacy Commissioner, City's privacy officer does not respond to emails or phone calls. The City recently stated the privacy and FOI office remains severely impacted by the Feb '24 cybersecurity failure. No timeline for recovery

I have informed the City of Hamilton of a serious privacy matter - it is not a breach because technically the City is republishing documents that are 'public' under the Open Courts Principle. I'll put it this way, I would never publish this kind of information online. #yhmcc

The GO Train signal issue "west of Aldershot" has now cancelled the Niagara-bound train. GO Alerts do not include if the trainset will end up out of position for the morning start of service. If you take the train out of Hamilton in the morning, make sure to check GO alerts when you awake. #HamOnt

GO Transit states train service remains suspended to/from West Harbour due to a signal issue. There is an express bus from Burlington GO to West Harbour. Shuttle West Harbour to Aldershot. I'll say, it is an improvement that replacement shuttles from Burlington are express. (1/2)

Around a dozen people are in the Council Chambers watching the meeting (which is occurring in Room 264 without any members of the public in the room). It does feel tiring to watch on the screen and a few people are trying to stretch out more comfortably. #yhmcc
