U.S. tariffs on imported steel and aluminum are already impacting communities across Canada, especially in Quebec and Ontario. Today’s doubling of these tariffs to 50% will simply be devastating.

All Hamiltonians deserve to know where the sticky soot substance is coming from and what it contains. No one, in any postal code, in our city should be expected to endure out-of-date provincial standards, avoid going outside, or experience ill health as a result.
Filthy coating on cars. Soot smeared clothes. 'Gross' residue on skin. Hamilton to look for source of lower-city grime

We’re living in an economy of permanently higher prices. That’s not the vibes, it’s painfully real, David Olive writes.

Very appreciative of #AMO’s recent provincial election advice to residents who care about the cities and towns they live in. Want to reduce the burden on your municipal property tax, ask your provincial candidates some critical questions.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.
