Tomorrow is Remembrance Day.

There are ceremonies in every part of #HamOnt.

80 years after World War II. The last known RHLI and Argyll veterans died earlier this year.

We remember them, and all others who gave their lives so we may live.

Former Nova Scotia Liberal Party leader Zach Churchill shares his viewpoint in favour of politicians being able to cross the floor.
Churchill had two Liberals defect when he was leader.
Insightful perspective.

New Column:

Today's first Hamilton Community Safety Summit was lacking something important - community members

Held during banker's hours with 10 days notice, most Hamiltonians couldn't attend

It is time for community summits, in the community, at a time the community can attend #yhmcc #HamOnt
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

"Lawyers for a Quebec man who killed two children and injured six others when he drove a city bus into a Montreal-area daycare in 2023 say it would be unconstitutional for a judge to declare him a high-risk offender."

This will eventually end up at the Supreme Court of Canada. A case to watch.

In Canada, the first dose of the MMR vaccine (prevents measles, mumps, rubella) is usually at 12-15 months of age; the second dose of the MMR vaccine is at 18 months #vaccinessavelives
Canada has lost its measles elimination status. #Measles is a vaccine preventable illness that can be dangerous. Some complications include brain swelling, pneumonia, and even death #vaccinessavelives

Council tax policy, in the UK.
Labour MPs warn council tax is “driving poverty” as analysis shows some of the most deprived areas are paying the highest rates

The analysis revealed a strong relationship: the more deprived a local authority, the higher its CT as a percentage of house prices

A significant, and completely preventable, setback for children in Canada.

Measles, once eliminated, is back.
As expected, Canada has lost its measles-free status because of the long-running outbreak there. With it goes the #measles elimination status of the entire zone of the Americas, the only division of the #WHO to ever have achieved measles elimination. www.statnews.com/2025/11/10/m...
Canada loses measles elimination status — as does the entire Americas region
Canada has formally lost its measles elimination status, the country’s public health agency announced, triggering the loss of that status throughout all of the Americas.

This is in my list to write a fuller story.

A significant decision against the City of Hamilton.

Ontario's Court of Appeal has overturned a Superior Court decision, orders a trial in a $20-mil action against the City regarding a tragic cyclist injury on Stone Church Road. #yhmcc #HamOnt

The City of Hamilton will be wasting 1000s (if not 10000s) of dollars in preventable towing fees tonight.

Once again, HSR managers have ignored the snow forecast and deployed 60-foot buses.

I imagine many people are pleased the first snowfall of the year in the GTA #HamOnt occurred on the weekend because when it occurs on a workday the commute home is a nightmare as we go through the annual ritual of fools having forgotten how to drive in winter road conditions.

Avoid Travel if you can.

There are Mountain Access road closures and significant slowdowns across Hamilton at present due to snowy conditions. #HamOnt
November 9, 2025 at 7:13 PM
It's the first snow on the ground for 2025 in #HamOnt

Two weather related HSR detours.

No service on Emerson Street, buses detour via Leland.

There is a detour somewhere between Wilson and Rousseux and the Meadowlands Terminal.
