@HamiltonPolice I went up it just before 12pm and yeah, trucks, vans, cars, all spinning their wheels going nowhere fast. It was like the 6 North hill. Some dumb ass had his pretty red sports car out in bad weather and was sitting sideways across the W5th cutoff completely blocking it.

⚠️ Traffic Advisory – Claremont Access Closed (Both Directions) The Claremont Access is temporarily closed in both directions due to extremely icy road conditions. Several vehicles have become stuck and crews are currently working to clear them from the roadway. Hamilton Police are on scene, and the City of Hamilton has been notified and is dispatching salt trucks to treat the road. Please avoid the Claremont Access and use alternate routes until further notice. We will provide updates as the situation improves. #HamOnt

@kananesgi @lady_valor_07 I actually sent faxes at work less than 5 years ago. I'm over 40 but some colleagues are not.

@lady_valor_07 Sorry, but most anyone over 40 has done everything on this list (with the possible exception of faxes). Now, I'd suspect that >50% under 20 couldn't tell you what half these things are.

7 for me!!….I feel confident nobody Has all 20!! How many for you?

@Just_Me_Tracey @CHCHNews I figured it was just the algorithms showing me everything days after it was posted again, but yeah, you're right. Why post it at noon the final day @CHCHNews ?

@CHCHNews Why is this tweet posted at lunch time on the final day???? Much easier to make plans if we knew ahead of time... Or even on the FIRST DAY, instead of halfway through the last day 🙄

@CHCHNews @eric_vienneau It's great to see the space being used again and for more senior support. I'm just sad that it took almost 6 full years to do something with the property.

Back in 2020, deadly COVID-19 outbreak took the lives of 16 residents at a retirement home in Hamilton. Good Shepherd has plans to repurpose the space into supportive housing for seniors. @eric_vienneau has the full story. chch.com/chch-news/shut…

@CrazyVibes_1 This looks like the parking side of the Fontbonne building. I've never seen this gentleman or these marked spaces in the number of times I've attended this hospital over the years, but I would hope people like this actually exist.

My name's Raymond. I'm 73. I work the parking lot at St. Joseph's Hospital. Minimum wage, orange vest, a whistle I barely use. Most people don't even look at me. I'm just the old man waving cars into spaces. But I see everything. Like the black sedan that circled the lot every morning at 6 a.m. for three weeks. Young man driving, grandmother in the passenger seat. Chemotherapy, I figured. He'd drop her at the entrance, then spend 20 minutes hunting for parking, missing her appointments. One morning, I stopped him. "What time tomorrow?" "6:15," he said, confused. "Space A-7 will be empty. I'll save it." He blinked. "You... you can do that?" "I can now," I said. Next morning, I stood in A-7, holding my ground as cars circled angrily. When his sedan pulled up, I moved. He rolled down his window, speechless. "Why?" "Because she needs you in there with her," I said. "Not out here stressing." He cried. Right there in the parking lot. Word spread quietly. A father with a sick baby asked if I could help. A woman visiting her dying husband. I started arriving at 5 a.m., notebook in hand, tracking who needed what. Saved spots became sacred. People stopped honking. They waited. Because they knew someone else was fighting something bigger than traffic. But here's what changed everything, A businessman in a Mercedes screamed at me one morning. "I'm not sick! I need that spot for a meeting!" "Then walk," I said calmly. "That space is for someone whose hands are shaking too hard to grip a steering wheel." He sped off, furious. But a woman behind him got out of her car and hugged me. "My son has leukemia," she sobbed. "Thank you for seeing us." The hospital tried to stop me. "Liability issues," they said. But then families started writing letters. Dozens. "Raymond made the worst days bearable." "He gave us one less thing to break over." Last month, they made it official. "Reserved Parking for Families in Crisis." Ten spots, marked with blue signs. And they asked me to manage it. But the best part? A man I'd helped two years ago, his mother survived, came back. He's a carpenter. Built a small wooden box, mounted it by the reserved spaces. Inside? Prayer cards, tissues, breath mints, and a note, "Take what you need. You're not alone. -Raymond & Friends" People leave things now. Granola bars. Phone chargers. Yesterday, someone left a hand-knitted blanket. I'm 73. I direct traffic in a hospital parking lot. But I've learned this: Healing doesn't just happen in operating rooms. Sometimes it starts in a parking space. When someone says, "I see your crisis. Let me carry this one small piece." So pay attention. At the grocery checkout, the coffee line, wherever you are. Someone's drowning in the little things while fighting the big ones. Hold a door. Save a spot. Carry the weight no one else sees. It's not glamorous. But it's everything." By Raymond

@DozingDrag56280 @TeamYouTube I've been listening to your stories for quite some time now. I've always had difficulty falling asleep, but your stories, your voice, and all the little details that go into each upload are exactly what I need to tune out the "noise" of an overactive brain. So many thanks ❤️🙏🏼

@Grassguy0313 @COVID19_disease We stand up for ourselves just fine thanks 🇨🇦

@COVID19_disease Have fun with that Canada. Maybe 1 day you’ll stand up for yourselves.

@TheSpec If you can't afford your business license so close to its due date, don't invest in a different restaurant until you have the current license in hand. He wouldn't have a bunch of fees and fines if he hadn't done that. He brought it on himself.

@CHCHNews I thought the police weren't supposed to pursue in a wrong way incident on the highway due to increased public safety risk?

The family of a baby boy who was killed along with his grandparents in a wrong-way police chase on Highway 401 are suing the Durham Region police officers involved, the police board and the estate of the driver who struck them. chch.com/chch-news/fami…

@HamiltonPolice Such a sad and unnecessary outcome. My sympathies to the families

@kma9077 @CHCHNews I just found that out last week when I got one! The girl tried to tell me it had been months but I knew it hadn't.

@cityofhamilton I got one from this number last month if you want to add it to the list.

SCAM ALERT: We've received reports of suspicious text messages targeting #HamOnt residents. The texts are directing residents to a website requesting credit card info to pay a Service Ontario fine. Please be aware that these messages are fraudulent. Do not share your info.

@HappySnorkel @CP24 Plus if it was clearly coming from that unit, the fire fighters would have gone in to check the situation. Which it sounds like they did not.

@CP24 "The property manager said smoke was coming from that unit which did cause the fire department to come." -- The firefighters don't just come every time someone burns the steak. Someone called them.

@CHCHNews @EmilyNTayler It still amazes me that people think it's just homeless and social assistance people who use harder drugs. It's your friends, neighbours, family members, your kid's friend's parents, or even your own kid. Accidental OD is not the same as drug abuse ID. Please educate yourselves.

A shocking new report from Hamilton City Hall says emergency services have responded to a record-breaking amount of drug overdose calls this month and are warning of a poisoned drug supply. @EmilyNTayler has all the details on this story. chch.com/chch-news/hami…

@CHCHNews @alchchnews Poor woman.

A woman has died tragically in downtown Hamilton on Friday. Police say she died in the hospital after being struck by a vehicle along King Street West. @alchchnews has the full story. chch.com/chch-news/woma…

@GeneralMCNews Enjoy being short on Ozempic again when you run out like before. I doubt the Pharmacies down there will want to pay the tarrif, and the people that need it already can't afford diabetic medications regularly. This will push prices up further. How is this good for Americans?

@Trishy_R @cityofhamilton My guess is there's so dang many of them across the city, it's way most efficient and cost effective for us to say "hey! Over here!"

@cityofhamilton Why should we have to call them in? There should be city employees checking it out.

Due to recent temperature fluctuations, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy traffic, many streets in Hamilton have developed potholes. Crews across Hamilton continue to complete pothole repairs. To report a pothole, email askcity@hamilton.ca so crews can address the location.
