The absolute bottom of the journalistic barrel is people in the media chiding Scott Pelley for having the gall to confront Bilton. If you want a job licking boots, become a bootlicker. You’re not a journalist.

It’s been a privilege to serve with Alex Wilson. They are a remarkable person who brings intelligence, integrity & passion to their public service. The residents of Dundas and all of Hamilton owe Alex a debt of gratitude for the difference they have made. My very best wishes in their next chapter.

Great news for my hometown! I have worked closely with Keanin as an anchor institution CEO and in my opinion he has the character & leadership ability to be an outstanding Mayor of Hamilton. I will be all in for this candidate & this important campaign! #HamOnt @keaninloomis.bsky.social

3 years ago today I was on the OR table at the General for six hours having emergency bypass surgery. Dr. Vic Chu & cardiac team saved my life. Today I feel great & have a clean bill of health from my cardiologist. If you have cardiac symptoms please get checked. @maureenwilson.bsky.social

What a revelation. A few of Trump’s pathetic apologists have just discovered that he is an unrepentant racist. But they will never out run the shame that history will render upon them.

My God! Trump’s thugs have committed a second cold blooded murder of an innocent citizen in Minneapolis. This is worse than Bull Connor. You can’t look away. America have you no decency?

So great to be on hand tonight at McMaster U to witness my pal Joe Raso being honoured as our Alma Mater’s greatest ever men’s basketball Coach. The basketball team room has been named in Joe’s honour. Great to see so many old basketball friends in attendance to support Joe, Catherine & family.

My Mom’s Dad, Francis (Frank) Hitchins, grew up on Locke Street in Hamilton and was killed at age 23 during the Liberation of Holland. He is buried in Groesbeek Canadian War Cemetery. Tomorrow and everyday, we remember all those who made the ultimate sacrifice. #lestweforget🌺

Oh I can confirm that my wife has too much class to ever have tried to score political points off of a tragedy. Perhaps, because she isn’t a political wannabe desperately seeking attention. Ps. I am retired and have time on my hands. Can’t wait to campaign in Ward 3 next election.

Every tragedy is a chance to score a cheap political point. @andrewselman.bsky.social you continue to demonstrate why you are unfit for any political office.
