When is enough, enough?

The latest shooting happened right on my doorstep. People who live here, work here, play here, are all being affected; our city is suffering and we’re all fed up.

This has to stop.

📢A basketball court… planned for 2051📢

Let that sink in, this is the problem at City Hall. Big plans, long timelines, and no clear path to actually get things done anytime soon. Then priorities change, costs rise, and projects get delayed… or disappear altogether.

Good planning means setting real timelines, funding projects properly, and following through. Otherwise, nothing is ever truly a priority.

Hamilton deserves better. Let me know what you think in the comments, share this post to spread the word.

🚨Hamilton’s opportunity is right in front of us🚨

Thousands of new jobs. Millions in new tax revenue. That’s the potential we’re sitting on.

From the airport lands to McMaster Innovation Park to the former Stelco lands, the foundation for real economic growth is already here. The strategy exists. Businesses are ready.

So what’s holding us back? Red tape and inaction at City Hall. Hamilton doesn’t need more talk... We need action!

WE DID IT – 1,000 Followers!

Thank you to every single person who clicked follow, shared a post, dropped a comment, or just quietly viewed from the sidelines. This started with me holding up my phone and talking, with probably no one listening. Now there are over 1,000 of us.

Your time and supports helps the conversations that need to happen going. Here’s to the next 1,000, let’s keep the momentum going!!!

Hamilton spent $22M on Pandemic Hotel Housing.

$2M of that was just damage repairs. We only know because a citizen fought 1.5 YEARS to get the info. We can help people AND be transparent. It’s not either/or.

Public money needs public answers. Do you agree? Share if you think taxpayers deserve better.

🚨Another delay, same questions🚨

The HATS Cannon Street tiny shelters project has been postponed again, with no clear explanation from the city.

It comes on the heels of a troubling pattern. The city run tiny homes project that started as a “fast, temporary” solution at $2.8M ended up costing $8M for just 40 units — nearly $200,000 each.

Hamilton deserves solutions that actually work for everyone.

🚨Hamilton’s housing reality🚨

For every affordable housing unit built in the last decade, our city has lost 23. Meanwhile, around 6,500 families are still waiting for a place to call home.

At a cost of approximately $600,000 per unit, it would take billions of dollars to meet that demand, something that simply isn’t realistic under the current approach. What we’re doing isn’t working. If we want real progress, we need a more collaborative approach between all levels of government and the private sector.

Without change, we’ll never build the housing Hamilton truly needs.

📢Hey Hamilton, we have a hiring problem📢

The newly released Ontario Sunshine List shows a 324-position increase in "Manager" and "Supervisor" positions from 2021 - 2025. And get this: Hamilton doesn't even make this info fully public!

When compared to other cities such as Ottawa - Hamilton's manager count jumped by almost double. Add in the fact that 1 out of every 7 staff at the city are in "leadership roles" and you have a recipe for rising taxes.

What are your thoughts on this? 👇

A recent safety survey found that 51% of Hamiltonians believe the city is becoming less safe. Right now, the “anything goes” approach is failing both those who need help and the broader community. Manitoba and British Columbia are changing how they deal with addiction. It's time we do the same.

We need to be clear, struggling with homelessness, mental health, or addiction is not a crime. HOWEVER for addicts who commit crime, it's a public safety issue: they need to either get help or go to jail.

What are your thoughts?

We have the will to clean up our streets for the

Shouldn't we be doing this all the time?

🚨Hamilton’s infrastructure is failing🚨

The City was recently fined $600,000 after hundreds of millions of liters of raw sewage was dumped into Hamilton Harbour.

This isn’t the first example of our crumbling infrastructure. And unless something changes, it won’t be the last.

Our city leadership needs to step up. We can’t keep ignoring the basics while costs and consequences keep rising. Hamilton deserves better!
