We all have to stand up and reject the politics of division
Bullies have come to increasingly dominate the civic conversation here in Hamilton.

OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
What the HELL?

Grateful to Fred Kent, Kathy Madden, and Steve Davies, Co-Founders of Project for Public Spaces - PPS.
Their 11 Principles for Creating Great Community Places are as valid today, as 50 yrs ago!
Honored to have worked with them in multiple cities.
Congrats!

Er, anyone else remember that in Andor, despite all his actual crimes, he is arrested just for walking around and "looking suspicous" by an Imperial officer, then sentenced to 6 years -- without due process -- to a foreign prison? Yeah....

Very insightful local political blog for Hamilton that's also notable for its continuous (and baffling) reference to my home riding as <i>The HWAD</i>
Today on The Incline → Incivility, outrage, and the federal election in #HamOnt. Well, one candidate in one riding, but the point still stands. And, since it's the topic of this edition, here's a hug in an effort to increase online civility 🤗

🚨 Love Canada? Have a listen.
As PP tries unsuccessfully to distance himself from Trump as his numbers drop astronomically because he IS Maple MAGA, Danielle kindly confirms it for us.
Never thought I'd say this, but thanks, Danielle.
For once, your incompetence helps Canada. 🇨🇦

Call me cynical but… so?
Just as the article says, Obama drew huge crowds. Look where we are now.
I heard AOC and Bernie say a lot of nice things, but I still ain’t heard a plan. We need a fucking plan, not a pair of celebrities drawing crowds.

Forests are incredible ecosystems that support biodiversity & provide ecosystem services like clean air and water, healthy soils & pollination. We protect many hectares of Carolinian forest which supports the most native tree species in the country and ~25% of Canada's species at risk #ForestDay 🌳

Anyone keen on understanding how #HamOnt hard right-wing populists will run their 2026 council campaigns should be watching council today. They're very well-funded, already controlling the narrative, and running on pure rage. Buckle up, storm's a comin'!
