Council is moving into closed session on a variety of items including the City Manager's performance, the Downtown Entertainment facilities, and federal housing funding. #yhmcc

Councillors Francis and Kroetsch are speaking bluntly to City managers - the *election* did not go well, there was the privacy breach, election day polling delays, confusion, and problems with staff decisions. #yhmcc

Municipal voter turnout is tied how competitive races are - especially mayoral races. Hence, municipalities without competitive races had a lower turnout in 2022, whereas Hamilton and Ottawa had a higher turnout than other places. This is municipal 101. #yhmcc

West Harbour customers: The track inspection due to the earlier report of flooding west of Aldershot GO is now complete. Regular schedule resumes.

City's auditor did not look into this. Kroetsch says turnover in this position is a risk the City must plan for in the future. #yhmcc

Ward 2 Clr Cameron Kroetsch asks the City's auditor about turnover in Clerks, its impact on the election. Hamilton had a great elections manager, who left for a lower-rank in another municipality. (They've moved up since then) They were professional, did not disclose why. #yhmcc

@JayCavanagh_ @MasseyCollege Thanks for sharing, I love the Library.

Somehow, the 443 other Ontario municipalities were able to understand what the Municipal Elections Act means when it states municipal resources cannot be provided to candidates. 1 municipality (Hamilton) cannot. #yhmcc

The City's internal audit claims the Province needs to provide clarity regarding the use of municipal resources. The City claiming the City Hall square is a municipal resource, and so are parks, the escarpment, pictures of City Hall, etc. #yhmcc

The most ridiculous part of the City's Internal Audit of its municipal election fiascos is pointing to the Province for City Hall managers threatening trespass against candidates on first day, and for the City Hall banning photos of Hamilton's skyline. #yhmcc

City Council GIC about to begin. On agenda: - Internal audit of the City's municipal election [City staff blame the Province for problems. City staff praise themselves] - Creating a Poet Laureate for Hamilton - Water bill assistance programs. #yhmcc LIVE: youtube.com/watch?v=YWA3bM…

We have received a report of possible flooding west of Aldershot GO and as a result crews will need to perform an inspection before we can proceed through the area. There will be GO bus service travelling between West Harbour GO and Aldershot GO connecting with train service.

The forest fire near White River is impressive enough that the smoke plume is viewable on RADAR. 🔥 #onwx #WildlandFire twitter.com/ONforestfires/…

She's alive! The engines fired up quickly on the first Lancaster VR-A engine run-up of the year. A few tweaks are required, and we'll be ready for flying very soon.

Gavin Newsom in California forbids sellers to bundle homes to buy to one buyer. Similar bill in Ohio. On national level, House bill called Stop Wall Street Landlords Act introduced. US Senate has a bill to end hedge fund control of large number of properties. #imfgtalks

8️⃣ This question from @SenHarder is just stunning. Government lead on bill asks @JeffElgie, CEO of a leading Canadian independent media company who just warned that they’ve stopped hiring due to fears *from* Bill C-18, if he isn't actually happy to see local news collapse. 4/4

6️⃣ Media companies pay Google and Facebook to promote their content and simultaneously argue they’re stealing the content. Makes no sense. 7️⃣ Bill C-18 could have a devastating impact on independent media. Blocked news, non-transparent deals. @pablorodriguez plan a disaster. 3/4

4️⃣ Facebook blocking news will disproportionately harm small and independent media outlets, who already cutting spending for fear of impact of Bill C-18 5️⃣ Serious concerns about lack of transparency and press independence in Bill C-18 that will increase distrust in media 2/4

Ontario has backed off a housing proposal that farmers say would have had a “catastrophic” impact on farmland and livestock operations. chch.com/ontario-abando…

Don McLean reminds Ham clrs that the so-called "aerotropolis" development around the airport in 2003 was "sold to the public" to create high paying skilled jobs. But the proposed first industrial development is for a warehouse. #HamOnt
