These highly effective BIA’s need help now because they make a difference. Everybody has had to pivot budgets, models and mindset. I encourage @TourismHamilton to pivot, put your budget where it will be effective, given that your mandate is on hold... it’s the right thing to do.

Tourism Hamilton’s mandate makes sense during non-pandemic times but not so much when trying to attract people from Peel/Toronto to Pearl Jam concerts at First Ontario when there aren’t any. The downtown BIA has a 400k budget and is doing so much with so little.

Here is an idea that will have tremendous impact on #HamOnt businesses during the pandemic... with council approval, Tourism Hamilton should shift a significant portion of their extraordinary budget to our local BIA’s across the city.

As an essential worker, it pains me to see the bullshit that Doug Ford has pulled. Me and many others are so mentally and physically exhausted from being short staffed and screwed over by the government. This only shows that he doesn't care, and never did. Thanks Doug 😑

Want to know why it’s so hard for #cops to be ‘good apples’... It was 2007 and I was assisting a call with an officer I’d never met before. He was from another team working overtime. Right in front of me he broke a kids nose with a punch. The septum was clearly deviated and

I knew I had to speak with Soy Sros: a 30 y/o single mom who makes bags for brands like Michael Kors and Kate Spade, ARRESTED bc she vented on Facebook about anxieties re layoffs. We spoke the day after she was released (on bail). This is what prison did.

The only people who have a right to “take back Canada” are its original owners: Indigenous Peoples, who are killed by police every day. Conservative MP Mr. O'Tool's slogan is like Mr. Trump. It is divisive, and will lead to political violence. #TAKEBACKCANADA

THREAD: Ok #HamOnt, I want to run down a few bits of local history that feel kinda relevant right now in case anyone missed them at the time. Keep in mind this list is far from comprehensive: (1)

Missed our tenant rights during #COVIDー19 workshop last week with @AcornHamilton and @TTRProject? Not to worry! He’s a snippet from @TTRProject’s presentation describing what an eviction process looks like during #COVIDー19 👇

It is time to make this happen 🙌 Data on social determinants of health - including race, gender and income - is greatly needed to shine light on disparities and guide policy change

I know twitter isn't a place to get things done, but @FredEisenberger + @JasonFarrHamOnt can we please shut down James N (Cannon to Barton), Augusta, Locke (Canada to Herk) for the summer. Pedestrian only. If Tampa can do it, #HamOnt should consider a thoughtful thing like this.
City of Tampa to shut down select streets to cars to help small businesses "Beginning May 4 restaurants and retailers in Tampa can begin catering to customers on premises with 25% occupancy inside, and tables spaced 6 feet apart outside." thatssotampa.com/city-of-tam… #OpenStreets
