@AndrewCSelman That was the most BS answer. Did they not account for Canada weather in their budgeting. They picked the site, did they not account for site prep. What a joke, but it’s really not funny. Our $ being flushed. Resign Andrea

The microshelter project spiraled into a procurement disaster, going 300% over budget, and #HamOnt taxpayers deserve to know why. Taxpayer or the Bureaucrat: Who told the truth, and who dodged?

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

did you have to convince someone to leave to have their seat?

@AndrewCSelman @hsr Curious why I see HSR employee transfer buses running up and down upper James. Do they not ride for free, as Toronto employees do? Why are our taxes paying for their own private transfers?

#HamOnt HSR Next plan is up for discussion today. It outlines a 55% transit service expansion by 2032, new hubs across the city, and 24 added management positions to improve supervision as the workforce grows. Enhancements of routes at the Ward level have been contentious.

@AndreaHorwath But I don’t see you at today’s GIC meeting if Council, so the Deputy Mayor is running the meeting. Why? One is a PR visit, the other is where the work gets done.

@HammerStrClean The road coming down upper James Claremont access has garbage all over the side of the road. Travelling north pound. Thx.

Happy Monday #HamOnt! As you're out & about this week, maybe walking your dog, if you spot a mess that needs attention, send us a message! Your eyes on the ground help us keep our city cleaner. Let's make a difference together! 🐾🧹 #CleanHamOnt #HammerStreetClean

Three times more people saw Oasis play last Sunday night at MetLife Stadium than were hired in the United States in the month of August.

@AndrewCSelman Let’s say the first 4 words are a complete sentence. The Mayor should step up. Not gonna happen though, all she’s worried about is getting reelected for her 2nd or is it 3rd pension on the taxpayers backs.

The Mayor should step up with a press conference and push for more federal and provincial support, drawing attention to this unacceptable spike in gun crime in #HamOnt A task force could be set up with both experts and neighbours from the areas most affected. Local eyes and ears working with the experts on solutions. And we should be looking at every tool available, from ShotSpotter to a stronger, expanded camera network. Enough talk. Time for action.

@TheSpec We should have age limits on ALL elected positions.

Meet the Hamilton Catholic school board’s first new chair in 34 years 👉 thespec.com/news/hamilton-… John Valvasori, 75, took over the chair’s seat in June; here, he talks about his career in education, priorities and challenges.

@AndrewCSelman @AndreaHorwath is a photo op mayor, I’m glad Cameron called out her bragadocious behaviour.

The most dysfunctional Council in years. Instead of addressing our housing crisis in #HamOnt with good policy , they’re squabbling over who gets credit for tearing down a long-neglected eyesore.

@AndrewCSelman And what is “market rent” are they paying what’s comparable to current rent? Is it income based as low income housing requires qualifying based on income.

Many residents have raised concerns about elected officials choosing convenience over commitment, living outside the Wards they represent, such as the Ward 4 Councillor. Meanwhile, the highest paid Councillor in the city is still occupying an affordable unit that should be going to families in greater need. When "leaders" already own homes yet continue to take up low-rent housing, that isn’t leadership, it’s privilege. #HamOnt #Accountability #Leadership

This week, #HamOnt Council reviews our utilities. Mayor @AndreaHorwath takes home over $270K, including $60K from Alectra’s board. I’d reject that 60k tax payer money if I were Mayor. When families are hurting, leaders should lead by example and tighten their own belts first.

Our future depends on these two stepping down, giving up power, and letting a new generation lead. Their selfishness is hurting us. My God, @SenSchumer you have been in power for 50 years now. Is it never enough?

@AndreaHorwath This is a joke, right? Integrity, really, it’s fail after fail with this mayor.

Honoured to accept the ON Ombudsman’s first Good Governance Award on behalf of #HamOnt This award recognizes Council’s 2022 decision to remove the $100 fee for filing complaints to the Integrity Commissioner and reflects our commitment to transparency, access + accountability.

@AirCanada I fixed it for you. Air Canada rejects agreeing to pay their flight attendants for working. Pay them for all hours worked. Pay them well, terminate the top heavy executives.

CUPE, Air Canada’s flight attendants’ union, rejects agreement to fly Canadians home. As a result, 25 000 additional passengers are going to be stranded abroad.

Air Canada @AirCanada Executive salaries: CEO M.Rousseau: $12.38 Million CFO A.Kazzaz: $3.1 Million COO C.Landry: $2.93 Million CCO L.Guillemette: $2.74 Million Exec VP A.Meloul-Wechsler: $2.0 Million Full-time entry-level AC flight attendant earns LESS than minimum wage (27k/year before tax) CEO makes 458x more than entry-level flight attendant Time for AC executives to take a large pay cut #CutExecPay #PayYourStaff

BEYOND THE BEAUTIFUL, “PERFECT MAPS” — DONALD J. TRUMP HAS MUCH BIGGER PROBLEMS. SOON, I — GAVIN C. NEWSOM — WILL BE SHARING RECORDS THAT SHOULD CONCERN HIM. I DIDN’T WANT TO RELEASE THEM — OUT OF RESPECT FOR THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT (NOT THE PRESIDENT) — BUT MIKE “LITTLE MAN” JOHNSON’S HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE HAS REQUESTED THEM!!! WHOOPS. WON’T BE PRETTY FOR DONNIE J. MANY ARE SAYING IT COULD BE THE FINAL NAIL IN HIS LONG CAREER OF LYING. THIS AND THE MAPS. “IT’S OVER.” THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. — GCN

Hey @tim_cook. In ’14 you said “I'm proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me." I just watched a video of you kissing the ass of the felonious fascist whose Supreme Court is poised to put to put an end to gay marriage. You gonna speak up?

Hey #HamOnt got a moment to walk and talk about the Microshelter procurement scandal brewing at City Hall?

@TheSpec Year 3 of a 4 year term, 🤔 reelection moves. No thanks, we need new leadership.

Mayor organizing ‘community safety summit’ to address violent crime, hate in Hamilton 👉 thespec.com/news/hamilton-… #HamOnt Andrea Horwath says there’s a sense that ‘something’s not right’ when it comes to violence and hate in city
