EH has been longtime champions for the LRT and we want it to be the successful spine of our transit network. We have made countless delegations and organized canvasses in every corner of #HamOnt to support over multiple terms. That's why we want local control and oversight.

Not being able to move around the City creates barriers and reinforces inequality. Public transit options create more inclusion, and more accountability for community. Thanks to these folks for continuing the fight to make sure LRT is fully public.

Councillor, this is inaccurate - and completely misrepresents the current situation with the vote tomorrow. Please engage with community groups in good faith instead of tweeting inflammatory misrepresentation about us like this. #HamOnt

Council will be voting on the operations of the LRT this Wednesday and I'll be asking my colleagues to vote down staff's recommendation so I can introduce the motion that Councillor @NrinderWard3 and I tried to put forward in January. Keep transit public. #HamOnt @keeptransitpub
Tune in this morning at 10am for the area rating review subcommittee! Executive director Ian will be delegating along with Karl Andrus on behalf of @HamOnt4Transit! We need #HamOnt to do away with this archaic funding model for transit, and to deliver service to all urban areas!
Hamilton's anti-renoviction bylaw is a first-of-its-kind-in-Ontario regulation. @constvarlo and @carrletta spoke to @NrinderWard3, @DanielPChin, and @AcornHamilton about why it was needed. #hamont #onpoli tvo.org/video/why-hami…
Hamilton is the first Ontario city to pass an anti-renoviction bylaw. Here’s why it was needed. @NrinderWard3 @DanielPChin @AcornHamilton @constvarlo youtu.be/niodvZs8apU?si…
Not surprised that 67% of those surveyed support the City operating LRT. I’ll be bringing back my amendment to recommend just that to Metrolinx at the April 17 meeting of the General Issues Committee. I hope my Council colleagues will support keeping transit public. #HamOnt

Last but certainly not least, thank you to @SWCHC and @OCLF_FECO for the administrative and fiduciary support throughout the years. Their work has been integral to the Network's success! #OCBN
Most recently, the OCBN received funding from @ottawacity’s Community Economic Development Fund to launch a new endeavour for the Network. Stay tuned for updates on how we're empowering tenants of supportive and affordable housing through micro-credentials. #CommunityDevelopment
This success follows two grants from @OttCommFdn and one from @UnitedWayEO that helped build the capacity that OCBN now has to deliver it's existing campaigns.
Through the funding support of @jwmcconnell and @OttCommFdn, the OCBN will continue to drive impactful change through project-specific CBA campaigns, community engagement, and policy development.
At 11:04 a.m., council begins to hear from the fourth delegate today. It appears we've reached the point in which Council stops arguing over arguing, and the meeting will move at a steady pace between now and end of delegates. Lunch will likely follow delegates. #yhmcc
Ward 8 Clr John-Paul Danko is stating numerous delegates are engaged in "misinformation" or "disinformation." That LRT is already going to be a private-public project. A full professor from McMaster University was just accused of "misinformation" regarding his delegation. #yhmcc
A huge thank you to Shelagh Pizey-Allen for delegating (again!) to #HamOnt GIC - sharing the @ttcriders experience when it comes to privatized elements of their public transit system in Toronto.
There has been significant controversy over @ATU107 President Eric Tuck reading from the collective agreement the union has with the City of #HamOnt - @JohnPaulDanko seems to be arguing that Tuck cannot read from the agreement as part of his delegation.
We've now had a debate with a delegate and Councillor over what amounts to a difference of political opinion with accusations of "misinformation". This meeting is seeming to generate a familiar tension we've had during previous terms of Council, unfortunately.
Second delegate Ritch Whyman has now also been interrupted multiple times by for giving examples of impacts on workers to support his point regarding privatization. With 17 delegations remaining - this could very well be a long day. #HamOnt
It's starting to get a bit silly how much *#HamOnt Council sharing their preference with Metrolinx* (which Metrolinx has made clear is not beholden to) has become a complicated and controversial subject. Quite a lot of FUD online, and now restrictions on delegates this morning.
There are still 15 delegates remaining to speak. #HamOnt
It's been ruled by the Chair that Tuck can in fact read from the collective agreement.
Tune into the General Issues Committee LIVE today at 9:30: youtube.com/watch?v=7s59ld…
@JohnPaulDanko The vote doesn't risk the project like the previous one did though as @EnvHamilton points out. The city CAN request the LRT be operated any which way and MetroLinx will just say no. Its a bit of a virtue signal of a vote but it is a lie to suggest it could delay things.
@yhm_matt There is no reason to believe or claim that the project in any way is under threat or made tenuous by our stance, or if Council shares that stance with Metrolinx.
EH has been longtime champions for the LRT and we want it to be the successful spine of our transit network. We have made countless delegations and organized canvasses in every corner of #HamOnt to support over multiple terms. That's why we want local control and oversight.
Not being able to move around the City creates barriers and reinforces inequality. Public transit options create more inclusion, and more accountability for community. Thanks to these folks for continuing the fight to make sure LRT is fully public.
Today we held a press conference where local leaders spoke on city council's upcoming decision regarding LRT operations. We said it in 2014, we said it in 2017, and we're saying it again: we need to keep transit public in this city.
