While you’re out at Supercrawl, stop by the Hamilton Farmers’ Market to check out the Harvest Festival on York Boulevard. During this past term, it was a priority to find new ways to bring people into the market - this is a part of making that happen and it’s wonderful to see. #HamOnt

Appreciate the leadership of Councillor Nann on this. Her message is clear and I agree with her. Council cannot comment on an application that is still actively before the Committee of Adjustment, a tribunal legally established by the Planning Act (the Province) and independent from Council. #HamOnt

On the weekend, white supremacists in black masks held a demonstration on James Street North. Nearly 100 years ago, the KKK, in white hoods, did the same. If you don't think this is an issue in our city, I hope this is the wake up call you need. Here's my motion on this from yesterday. #HamOnt
