@radleyatthespec After a decade of artificially low tax rates, and the city’s population growth, this ward 14 resident paid increased taxes AND the tangible benefits: water main infrastructure management, safer streets and improved road improvement, parks improvement, and a better Hamilton

@TheSpec @GrantRants In light of the city’s ransomware attack, what are our hospitals protecting themselves from breaches, if it hasn’t quietly dealt with a similar cyberattack? @jfrketich

@bobbyhristova About #HamOnt’s cyber ransomware attack, will their insurer cover it if only days before actual incident vs public-facing timeline of incident? Possible litigation by city with insurer to pay out losses to city to secure its payment systems.

@bobbyhristova When you think it can’t happen to me. This was immediately known when the city’s online payment systems were “unavailable “. This is 101 cyber ransomware. Big issue: what aren’t they saying ? the cyber insurance renewal dry days before this occurred? Big story here.

The City of Hamilton has confirmed the "cyber incident" responsible for paralyzing city services for over a week is a ransomware attack — meaning someone is holding various systems hostage in exchange for money cbc.ca/news/canada/ha… #HamOnt

@CBCQueensPark @PaulCalandra In the legislature, what’s the difference between a censure and a reprimand, and is it applied to currently seated MPPs or resigned MPPs even in the current government’s cabinet?

To clarify, the integrity commissioner did not actually call on the Legislature to "censure" Clark, he called on the Legislature to "reprimand" him. Fact remains that @PaulCalandra said he has "no intention" to act on the integrity commissioner's call to reprimand Clark. #onpoli

While the Ford government moved quickly to censure MPP Sara Jama, it still hasn't acted on integrity commissioner's Aug. 30 call to censure Steve Clark over the Greenbelt affair. @PaulCalandra just said in QP he has "no intention" to move on a motion to reprimand Clark. #onpoli

@anthonymarco @OntarioNDP @SarahJama_ Progressives privilege themselves but they can show their antisemitism, which has been in the rise m. Justified or not, Canada’s Jewish community is not answerable for the actions of Israel.

The @OntarioNDP removed @SarahJama_, a young black, Muslim MPP with 1000s of hours on the streets fighting for housing, food security, disability justice, & worker rights in Ontario's poorest urban riding because she called for a ceasefire and de-escalation in Gaza too soon. #FFS

@menrvasofia If you scream “genocide” by an apartheid state, but don’t condemn the October 7th terrorist attack, you might hate Jews. If you call for a ceasefire but not the release of hostages, then maybe she hates Jews = antisemitism

@FamilyLines @McConaughey He’s big on journaling. And his ability to connect dots in life that appear disparate that’s relatable. His folksy Texan no-nonsense and a big belief in oneself shows how green lights in life happen.

@MohamadJamalB @SarahJama_ I blame Hamas and their fault with Gaza, and if you ascribe to Hamas’ philosophy, then you clearly don’t want Israel to exist for its citizens and Jewish people.

@MohamadJamalB @OntarioNDP @MaritStiles Jews and Muslims have been an integral part of the progressive movement, and if you’re deciding to be anti-progressive for clearly antisemitism remarks, then it’s revealing a conseervative philosophy

@SteveWh48941132 There is no justification. Killing is never the solution. But there is also no surprise. What does history tell us about oppressed people?

“The Gaza Palestinians have decided they’re willing to pay any price for a moment of freedom. Is there any hope in that? No. Will Israel learn its lesson? No.” Powerful piece. Cuts right to the bone.

It has been interesting to see @Haaretz, widely considered one of the best Israeli outlets, give space to Jewish writers/journalists who have criticized the Israeli government and its policies. This is one of many, many op-eds/articles they've published. haaretz.com/opinion/2023-1…
