Read my 5 Point Platform. Hamilton needs to put its shoulder to the wheel & act as one city, not 15 wards. More at: maureenwilson.ca.

The policing of women’s bodies must end. The “respect” that’s needed is for the exceptional talent ⁦@serenawilliams⁩ brings to the game. Criticizing what she wears to work is where the true disrespect lies. npr.org/2018/08/24/641549735…

'One Must Respect The Game': French Open Bans Serena Williams' Catsuit

The French Tennis Federation's president reportedly said attire like Williams' Wakanda-inspired outfit will no longer be accepted. "I think that sometimes we've gone too far," he declared.

It's almost time to furnish the 57 apts at #ParkdaleLanding in #HamOnt before tenants arrive mid-Sept. Your donation of $2,000 will outfit the kitchen and provide furnishings: a bed, table and chairs, easy chair. Go to indwell.ca/donate to help out! #alreadyhalfwaythere

Why stop at sex-ed ? Why not extend the snitch line to history, social science, English and French ? What if some adventurous teacher wants to teach New Math instead of Old Math ? Why not have everyone reporting and snitching on everyone ? Did wonders in East Germany.

I'm not baffled. We have the highest property taxes in the province. Our infrastructure debt is >$3B & grows annually. We have a revenue problem. We study. Council asks for and gets $1B for LRT as a critical investment to leverage additional investment. 'Council' waffles. The end

Mark, I'm baffled by the anti-LRT position right now. I understand short term it means upheaval. But gains in work for thousands for years will be huge. The investment of businesses that will come; community benefits; infrastructure renewal... we can't afford not to. #yesLRT

Most of our current councilors and many challengers in the upcoming election don't seem to see $1B as an investment that has a 'vision' that captures other investor's interest enough to invest 'with the city'? Is this due to lack of experience, imagination or both?
Mark Chamberlain@mj_chamberlain20 Aug 2018
Do our local leaders understand how a $1B investment into the 'LRT project' can be leveraged into a broader set of infrastructure investments across the city? Does a $1B investment into a miscellaneous set of infrastructure projects provide the same leverage?

Minneapolis reveals the benefits of LRT. Hamilton has been planning for LRT since 1961. It's time we started doing what we said we would do.

Overdoses are now the leading cause of death of young people in Ontario. The number of preventable deaths are accelerating rapidly. The evidence is clear - a comprehensive public health approach including treatment and harm reduction is required. The crisis demands urgent action.

The typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/3rd of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, & most of the energy that does, moves the car, not people. #CityMakingMath HT @brent_bellamy
