I can't tell if this is AI. Brad has already been caught using AI to fake engagement with his platform online, but I wouldn't have put this past him even before that was revealed. If true, makes me think much less of Geddy, that's for sure. As for Brad, I still think he sucks, so no change there.

Outside of "strong Mayor powers", or whatever the maple maga version of fascist US power structure Doug made is called, the mayor is only 1 vote on council. Any mayoral candidate who promises outcomes that would hinge on a council vote, & anyone who believes them, is either lying, stupid, or both.

Heino lost the election, but he pulled off a near perfect Wynne.

Screenshot of a sponsored post from Heino Doessing. Post reads: "Don't be fooled by a single outlier poll. The Hamilton East-Stoney Creek election is a two-party race between the Liberals and the Conservatives..." with the rest of the text truncated. Several images were attached. The one showing in the screenshot is a red square with white lettering that reads "Only a vote for the Ontario Liberals will stop Doug Ford" with the word "only" underlined.

4 yrs ago I got tarred with the epithet "fake progressive" by many because I wouldn't blindly pledge allegiance to Andrea's mayor bid just because of her (at the time) current position in the ONDP. I wasn't even working on any campaign that election, I just occasionally voiced questions or concerns.

Tim Hortons launched several new items for their Harry Potter collaboration. The foreign owned coffee chain that still uses a maple leaf in their branding to trick people into thinking they are still Canadian announced that a portion of all sales will go to their Conversion Camp Day fund.

Lilac purple background that gradients through different shades. Top middle is a red maple leaf with a white "Tims" across it. Under which in large capital letters says "CONVERSION CAMP DAY". The word Conversion is white with a red border, while Camp Day is alternating blue and yellow letters with a white border. Underneath shows 4 Harry Potter themed donuts and 1 Harry Potter themed donut box.

To any leftist, progressive, or even left-leaning voters in #HamOnt who've strategically voted; how'd that work out for you? Did you 'hold your nose' to vote Liberal in the last election? How happy are you with Carney? What if instead we all voted for the candidate who best represents our beliefs?

Screenshot an article in The Hamilton Spectator.

text inside of * denotes highlighted in yellow, not part of the article

"At his event, Loomis also released the results of a robocall poll commissioned by his campaign showing he was the preferred choice for 38 per cent of decided respondents, followed by Horwath at 24 per cent, Cooper at 22 per cent *and Scarlett Gillespie at nine per cent.*

The poll also noted 35 per cent of the 921 respondents answered "unsure" when asked to choose a preferred candidate and so were excluded from the results.

The top issues — which respondents selected from a list — included homelessness, keeping taxes low and housing affordability, as well as the cost of living, and city roads and infrastructure."

Ontario Premier Ford announced today that his Government will be filing a lawsuit against the US Forest Service. The suit alleges that Smokey the Bear, the US Forest Service's mascot, was not specific enough in pointing out exactly who can prevent forest fires.

The government launched an ad campaign telling Canadians that they can visit national parks for free this summer. When asked about the optics of launching such a campaign while half the country is on fire, Carney said "That's our point, who knows if there'll be anything left to see next year."

Screenshot from the ad campaign. Shows Carney and four others standing on a trail with grass on either side and trees in the background. Carney is wearing a white shirt and dark blue pants, the other people are wearing uniform green shirts and beige pants or skirts. Text over the middle says "with the Canada Strong Pass"

Mayor Horwath decreed that Council hold a special meeting today to learn about the special interests of data centre lobbyists. When asked why today's meeting was necessary the mayor said "We've heard from the public on the issue, but we didn't take the time to listen what the money has to say."
