Absolutely. Their outrage is a dog whistle for something and it's not hard to figure out what it is.

This was a brazen attempt to silence one of the only critical voices on a board that has almost no checks or balances. Crazy to me how many people I see online have insisting Coun. Kroetch was somehow in the wrong here.
So much air and ink is spent criticizing the city for lacking transparency; where is that same energy when it comes to the police services board? #hamont
Adding this to my list for the summer, thanks!
That's a big day in the saddle! How long did it take you each way?
Council reversal:
Following many emails to City Councillors regarding the significant encroachment at 94 Kingsview Drive, City Council has changed their minds - will enforce City bylaws and policies against the person who built on City land without permits. #yhmcc thepublicrecord.ca/2025/05/city...
It's crazy they even considered any other solution. Would've set an awful precedent. Hopefully the owner will be made to reimburse the city taxpayer for the cost of remediating the land.
Hamilton City Council unanimously approves increased funding for the Hamilton Bike Share program. #yhmcc #HamOnt
π¨ Election call expected on Sunday, according to reports π¨
Every day I am more and more convinced to pull the trigger on one of these.
Counsellor Kroetsch brought forward multiple amendments to the budget and they were all ruled in order, discussed, and voted on. Spadfora and his ilk are just butthurt they got their hand slapped for not doing their homework.
I don't love the strong mayor powers, but this just sounds like butthurt nimby counsellors who didn't bother to learn the budget rules being mad their plans for budget cuts didn't pan out and now they're looking for somewhere to lay the blame.
e-bikes annoy authoritarians
Not trying to accuse anyone of anything but it seems SOME PEOPLE are allowed to get away with a lot more corruption than others...
A nice silver lining on an otherwise depressing night
Poll results for Etobicoke Lakeshore showing the riding called for Liberal Lee Fairclough with 48.9% of the vote over PC Christine Hogarth's 40.2%

For the record, I am one of these dumb Ontario voters. I'm not "voted for Doug Ford" dumb though.
BREAKING: Ontario has lost the 2025 provincial election
We can all agree Wynne losing in 2018 had nothing to do with corruption now right? #onpoli #ontario #election
Recent American election results stop me from calling ontarians the dumbest voters on the planet...
But they're still pretty dumb. #onpoli #election #ontario
I regularly ride my bike to do errands in Counsellor Francis' ward. I went to do groceries by bike yesterday in Ward 5. The fact that the counsellor of this ward does not think that my life and safety are worth spending money on is really discouraging.

Thank you, I needed this laugh today π
Counsellors Jackson and Francis doing something stupid? I'm shocked I say, SHOCKED!
I do not understand why counsellors are still so hellbent on killing the LRT after all this time. We have huge monetary commitments from province/fed. Work is already ongoing. How much more of a done deal is required?
Share of eligible voters in 2022 Ontario election. This is ridiculous. Technically, "Did Not Vote" won the election. Across all of North America, the complacency and apathy of the voting populace threatens the fabric of society. Get off your lazy asses and vote.
