If you haven't read it, I think this article from Joey Coleman (from which I borrowed the lead photo for this thread, thanks Joey), is a good summary of some of the issues I'm describing here - thepublicrecord.ca/2025/11/cole....
COLEMAN: Community Safety Summit Lacked Community Members
Good concept, but it needs to happen in the community, across the community, when people can actually attend

I've already shared my first impressions of the Mayor's Community Safety Summit, specifically a short video outlining what attendees said in the group report back, but I think there's much more to say. For me, it just didn't work, and I think it's important to unpack why. #HamOnt

Have you registered your kiddos for 1000 Books Before Kindergarten? Don't be afraid of the number; Rome wasn't built in a day. But if you read one book a day with your littles for three years, you'll surpass the challenge with 1,095 books! 📚

With the Pier 8 development pausing indefinitely due to the collapse of the condo market, I moved a motion today to ask staff to look at other options and report back in public. Those options included affordable housing and purpose built rentals. It died on a tie. Transparency matters. #HamOnt

"Can we disconnect not caring about a pandemic from a rise in fascist politics, war crimes and genocide in Palestine, and a cost of living and housing crisis amid record private sector profits?" #covid #longcovid

Minimizing COVID-19 is maximizing social harm
Governments, in the interest of maintaining the status quo, seem to be misleading people and hoping for the best.
