@moriyamateshima My Dad,the late Jack Yokoyama and Raymond Moriyama were good friends when they met up in #HamOnt just after end of WW2. I had the opportunity of taking photos of him 2x for @TheSpec A Canadian icon!
Thanks for keeping 'bus barn' alive! It's a public service

Hundreds out so far at anti-sprawl rally at #hamont city hall. They have signs for folks, but you have to grow your own costume.

I had a chance to speak with @AndreaHorwath this morning and congratulate her on making history as the first woman mayor of #HamOnt, an achievement we should all celebrate. I pledged to help her in any way I can to improve this incredible city.
Ya, there is a cake. Talk about a birthday celebration.
“I will be transparent… we deserve to have that sort of transparency, that accountability”
“Hamiltonians deserve to have a city that they know they can trust what’s happening at city hall”
Andrea shouts out “smart, passionate” council and urges them to bring constit concerns to the table.
Horwath thanks Keanin Loomis, Bob Bratina, other candidates. “We do not agree on everything, but we all love this city.”
Andrea thanks voters. “We all believe in the same thing: we believe in Hamilton.”
So @AndreaHorwath being hugged and high-fives to stage as crowd at spice factory chants her name. “We made history,” screams … someone in an awfully big crowd.
So, a few* officers left over to dissuade returning HoCo street partygoers… * estimated count
Dispersal was going slowly at fake HoCo until a couple of helpful idiots launched a few smoke flares into the crowd. Police hustled them out and are now more actively urging everyone off the street. #Hamont
So it’s been relatively friendly here at fake homecoming so far. But still hundreds, maybe still 1,000+ left to be asked to “disperse”

I spoke to soon re: tree-climbing. Police now on arboreal protection duty.
Busier now at fake homecoming on Dalewood. Police have gently cleared one lawn of partygoers by resident request, but otherwise everyone is comparatively cheery and, for example, not hanging off trees or rooftops #hamont
