London, Ontario is creating a tiny homes shelter - with the modular homes being built right here in Stoney Creek.
Hamilton City Hall infamously disqualified local companies for the Barton/Tiffany site. Hamilton instead bought low-quality made-in-China shipping containers at higher cost.

We did it, Ward 3! 💪
A decade of letters, phone calls, meetings, and delegations : pushing for change when City Hall wouldn’t listen.
When politicians sat on their hands, neighbours rolled up their sleeves. This is what community looks like #HamOnt

As a neighbourhood, we've been working to address long-standing concerns about the burned-out buildings beside Memorial School.
Nearly a decade has passed since the first fire, action is long overdue.
Here are a few photos of the buildings bordering the school playground #HamOnt

I've long thought #HamOnt City Council was asleep at the wheel.
I never expected to see a delegate literally call out a councillor for sleeping during a meeting.
(For the record, I’ve seen it happen more than once.)

The City of Hamilton has a spending and accountability problem.
400 million dollar bus barn? It's 60 % over budget. Microshelter project? It's 300 % over budget. Children's museum? 56 % over budget.
We need basic fiscal accountability.
After all, it's our money #HamOnt

Back in September, neighbours in Ward 3 near the Delta flagged a suspected theft/drug spot near Gage Park. Thanks to this tip, arrests were made #HamOnt
See something, say something. Let’s look out for each other!

Hamilton’s bureaucracy keeps growing: 9,449 staff, up 12% since 2022, yet city services keep getting worse.
We’re paying more, getting less.
Maybe the problem isn’t front line staff, it’s leadership #HamOnt

For the first time since 2022, the City of Hamilton has released its total number of employees
9,449 - an increase of 12 per cent in two years
Many of the positions were funded by "reserves" and now must be funded from property taxes. Projected 2025 property tax increase is already 8.9% #HamOnt

City of Hamilton Headcount is now 9,449, up 12% from 2022
49.2 per cent of the expected $106.7-million 2026 operating budget increase (requiring a 8.9 per cent property tax increase) is driven by employee-related costs.

#HamOnt has hundreds of decrepit, and derelict buildings dragging entire neighbourhoods down. Tomorrow, October 1st, I’ll be at City Hall pushing for a new approach. Bylaw is a blunt tool, we need a scalpel. Time to get to work.

This story has struck a chord in the community, with tens of thousands viewing the video of Councillor Clark addressing the issue.
I really appreciate Joey Coleman for pursuing this matter. Clear and direct answers are owed.

Congratulations to Rob Cooper on winning the Ward 8 by-election in #HamOnt.
He ran a strong campaign and overcame the left flank of Council, which had thrown its weight behind another candidate. The political winds in this city have clearly shifted.

Best of luck to all the candidates in today’s #HamOnt Ward 8 by-election.
With such a crowded field, it’s a rare chance for voters to really shape the future of the ward.
Above all, I’m rooting for Hamilton to get the strong, dedicated representation it deserves.

It’s budget season in #HamOnt
Attached is the proposed preliminary Hamilton Police Service 2026 budget.
I often hear questions from neighbours about police spending, and I often share those questions myself.
Reviewing these documents is how I keep informed about where our money is going.

The City of #HamOnt is targeting a resident for having security cameras on his porch, yet they’ve turned a blind eye to cameras at an illegal business openly selling drugs around the clock in Ward 3.
That double standard is unacceptable.
