The hypocrisy is staggering. This is the Palestine Exception at work. We are on day 458 of a genocide. What has the mayor or Maureen Wilson had to say about the Genocide of Palestinians 1/5

#HamOnt STATEMENT FROM MAYOR HORWATH - January 6, 2025 It has come to my attention that there is a planned event in Hamilton, which has raised significant concerns for me and our community. Since learning of this event, I have been in direct communication with Hamilton Police Service, who are closely monitoring the situation to ensure public safety. The City of Hamilton enforces strict conditions for all groups or organizations seeking to rent City facilities. We unequivocally refuse access to any group that engages in or promotes hatred or any form of divisive behavior. As clearly outlined in the City of Hamilton’s RZone policy, if such actions are reported or reasonably suspected, permits will be denied or immediately revoked, and appropriate measures will be taken to address the situation. Hamilton is a city that stands firmly against intolerance. We are committed to fostering a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all. As Mayor, I have consistently spoken out against hate in all its forms and will continue to do so unequivocally. There is absolutely no place in our city for individuals or groups spreading messages of division or intolerance. Hamilton will always stand united against hate and for the values that bring us together.

We have plenty of Duggans here in Hamilton. And they are desperately trying to get onto our school boards as trustees. Ward 4, be sure to vote in the HWDSB trustee byelection!!!

“I resigned from Canada’s largest broadcasting corporation over its complicity in Israel’s genocide” Media complicity in genocide is unacceptable. It’s time we hold these institutions accountable for perpetuating atrocities. #EndComplicity #FreePalestine mondoweiss.net/2024/10/i-resi…

Criminalizing poverty is a conservative tactic. Guaranteed; allocating those same funds toward affordable housing creates healthier relationships within our community. When community members have access to affordable housing, the impact is always favourable for everyone.
John-Paul Danko@JohnPaulDanko

Great to see a stronger @HamiltonPolice presence in the downtown core - keeping everyone safe & building relationships with a very positive response from residents, shoppers and businesses.

“Great news!! More evictions!!Trauma upon violence upon trauma!” Is JPD aware that 25 unhoused residents have died between December 2023 and May 2024?
John-Paul Danko@JohnPaulDanko

With expansion of #HamOnt shelter space & new outdoor shelter at Barton-Tiffany - encampments at Bayfront & Pier 4 will be cleared out. This is great news for residents across #HamOnt who frequent these parks - but especially for residents living in close proximity.

Imagine being so removed from the homeless crisis created by poor policy decisions as an elected official your response is NOT houseless community members require food, a home, regular access to communication and other necessities to secure employment. BUT THIS… ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
John-Paul Danko@JohnPaulDanko

“If you’re healthy, get off your A-S-S and start working like everyone else, very simple,” This sentiment about homeless tent encampments from @fordnation is going to resonate with a huge number of #HamOnt taxpayers. chch.com/get-off-your-a…

@HWDSB teachers are told to learn, teach and role model principles of equity but how many are actually doing that? We ask, where are the unions? @ETFOeducators @HwetlEtfo why are your Black, Indigenous and racialized members feel unsupported when they face racism?

Police forces surveilling Black cops, who would have thought?🤨 We are completely unsurprised. The overuse of the term public safety/security becomes used to sanction all types of actions against racialized folks, inside or outside the police force. cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…

It’s a hard no! It is never a time to encourage a systemic carceral environment in our schools. We will never stop advocating for students. Our children deserve supports, education and advocacy to flourish.

We understand the lack of affordable childcare is a crucial issue for families/caregivers especially for those who are racialized and marginalized. We do not trust @MaritStiles as her track record is to throw racialized people under the bus. “Her actions speaks so loud…”

As a HWDSB educator I've observed Black, Indigenous and Muslim students experience harm because of police presence in schools (and often intervened). There's an extensive @HCCI1 report on this. Carceral forces which make even 1 child feel unsafe should not be in learning spaces.
John-Paul Danko@JohnPaulDanko

Good to see @PaulsEsther raising the issue of rising #HamOnt youth violent crime & the need to connect with youth at risk in schools. “By removing (police), what are we telling kids? Young people should know police are there for safety, they’re friends,” thespec.com
