There you go again Aly, puncturing another popular saying. 'He's drinking the Kool Aid' sounds so much better than 'He's drinking the Flavor Aid Punch'. Although historically incorrect I will stick with the former!

@mackaycartoons hit the nail on the head. Nothing makes our city look ridiculous like the way councillors and certain city staff dress for Council meetings. Just conveys a sloppy image about the city. After all this is this city's board of directors. Do better!

😂 from @mackaycartoons book 'You Might Be From Hamilton If..." (and one more thing I hope changes with the new Councillors coming in) #HamOnt

@JoeyColeman I had never heard that criticism before Joey. You must enlighten us with examples of the hyper-political activity from the CMO

QUESTION: What’s the one thing you really wish everyone understood about downtowns that, if we did, would probably result in much better and more successful downtowns across North America? A few of the best answers may find their way into my @IntlDwtnAssoc “Master Talk” Friday.
Brent Toderian@BrentToderian

In the post-pandemic era, North American downtowns should be considered “Too Big (Important) To Fail!” But our downtowns MUST proactively change in response to new realities. Come hear my candid CALL TO ACTION at @IntlDwtnAssoc in Vancouver next week! downtown.org/event/2022-ann…

Tomorrow 21st Sept #WW2 veteran George Dunn is 100. It's an honour to call George a friend, and I'll be heading south to join celebrations. George flew 44 ops and awarded DFC and Ld'H Legion d'Honneur. If anyone posts birthday messages I will pass on to George. #nationaltreasure

@MohamadJBsat We amalgamate 22 years' ago but nothing has changed. The two biggest budget items are police and Social Services and that was the same at amalgamation.

@gcrawfordHamOnt So far, all I have heard are platitudes about the need for affordable housing with the exception of one mayoral candidate and a Ward 2 candidate who spoke of specific initiatives to create affordable housing. Candidates, respond to @grahamcubitt with your viable solutions.

In Hamilton Health Sciences I spoke to the foundation's former chair and in this case the money was funnelled back into the hospital for equipment and I believe some programming.

@swats24 @blm8688 I opposed charging for parking when I sat on a Board of trustees at a local hospital. It was done for revenue reasons and no other, but it acted as a user fee. Unfortunately, I lost the vote.

Bit by bit, excuse by excuse we're putting Donald Trump above the law.  We are rendering indefensible conduct normal, legal and appropriate – as though he were a King.

Call Councillor Jackson to find out how to get speed cushions. He has loaded my neighbourhood with them and they slow traffic to a degree.

@nomorebeeers Now that you have achieved 24 hours, use that as a benchmark to aim for, another 24 hours. Once you have done a week, then use that as the benchmark, one week, then a month. Worked for me for my addiction.
