This site has been a pet peeve of mine for years and I'm so glad to see public space protected and a design where we can enjoy the waterfront at all ages. Wish it had happened sooner since some parts of the building are in rough shape but better late than never

the year is now 2024 and you can only get vaccinated at Sh*ppers Drug Mart by getting your health cards at Staples Business Depot
NEW - The Ford government is closing an unspecified number of Service Ontario locations, CityNews has learned. Its part of a pilot project that will see Service Ontario kiosks open inside some Staples Canada stores, though the government wont say if a kiosk will open for every location closure. The government also wouldn't say if this pilot project could lead to further Service Ontario location closures.

Read the Hamilton Centre Riding Association executives statement in solidarity with MPP Sarah Jama. We demand that the ONDP rescind their removal of MPP Sarah Jama from the ONDP caucus and we demand a review of the leadership of Marit Stiles. @MaritStiles @OntarioNDP

Today is a reminder that we need electoral reform because our political parties all stink and nothing will change until the incentives change. @NDPOntarioParty needs to stop assuming Hamilton Centre is a lock for them and learn that actions speak louder than words.

Really feeling this today. Assigned a letter to a public official and reflection. For the 15% who actually did it, the results are amazing and so hope inspiring but filing AI breach after breach is just so demoralizing, especially after the last week.
As a teacher, the worst thing about chat gpt for me is that it takes away any of the joy I felt when grading. Assignments that used to be so interesting and fun because I learned so much about and from my students through them, are a slog. It's a worse experience for everyone.

Anyone know what's happening in @cityofhamilton on this front? The Hamilton public health website hasn't been updated to even acknowledge the XBB.1.5 vaccine exists but we must also have access to it if Niagara and Halton do. Or are we still really bad at this after 3 years?
As of tomorrow Halton will be offering the updated XBB.1.5 vaccine. Hearing the same for Brant and Niagara.

I'm legit confused by the lag here. Earlier in the pandemic HPH was leading it's own strategy and openly challenging the very stupid provincial one for priority populations in #hamont and now ... crickets.

You know what's*actually* confusing for kids, the time and energy we spend teaching them it's important to share and care for others, but then upholding capitalism at every turn. I know because I teach them at 18+ and they can't make sense of it because it doesn't make sense.

So are we ever going to fix this parking spot counter at #WestHarbour or just gonna leave it @Metrolinx? I mean we do enjoy guessing how wrong it's going to be every time we come but still.

Something as simple as a film review, is now just the same thing over and over again. They weren't perfect before but I always enjoyed seeing new things in the films on my list through the eyes of my students. Now...it's just ugh.

Congratulations to the small vocal minority.
NHL confirmed to me that the ban on teams wearing specialty jerseys in warmup includes league-mandated campaigns like Hockey Fights Cancer, military appreciation and St. Patrick's Day

🙄 man, this league is the pits. Is St Paddy's Day not a cause? @NHL who gets to define what is or is not a cause? It's a holiday that celebrates Irish nationalism. Upholding the status quo/dominate groups is still a cause. cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/nhl…
