“He loved Canadians.”
Beautiful music and remarks at the Rt. Hon. Brian Mulroney’s funeral this morning.
Hoping one day we can return to his politics of friendship, collaboration and oversized outcomes for our country, and our place in the world. 🇨🇦

Proud of Keanin and the 240 volunteers that stepped up to support him. Each was inspired by his leadership and his love for this city and its people.
I look forward to seeing the leadership path he takes from here, from the vote of confidence he received last night. #HamOnt

The flaw in @acoyne’s argument - there was no personal relationship between PMJT & GG Johnston. It was fabricated by PP, and the media bought it.

JT challenged Harper with a positive and thoughtful vision for Canada.
PP is challenging Trudeau with an appeal to our worst instincts.

“Car (and truck) culture has to change, he says, because it’s killing us.”
For 60 years, car advertising has programmed us to think that driving is freedom; that driving — even reckless driving — is a symbol of status & power. But what if a car marketing vet (@tomflood1) used his skills to highlight the insanity of car culture?

“The hospital, which has a list of protocols for transplant candidates that includes a ban on lifestyle choices like smoking said requiring the COVID vaccine is common at many medical center's throughout the country.”

"I too came to Hamilton for love, and ended up falling in love with this City and want a Mayor who loves it for what it is and what it can become."

Love the concept. Great brand opp for some of our local craft breweries. Align a beer with a charitable partner. It worked for @TOMS. I’d pay the premium. What do you think @NickelBrookBeer @CollectiveHam @FairweatherBeer @GrainGrit? #HamOnt

The @cable14 debate clearly had an impact. 3 of the first 5 doors I knocked on asked for a @keaninloomis sign.

I’ve been canvassing for 3 months.
The reception at the door has been cordial.
But it changed about 3 weeks ago.
Today was incredible.
#HamOnt is ready for change.

98% of the garbage that I collected on the Chedoke trail this morning was in the golf club parking lot.

Long term vision.
Proven leader.
Fresh voice.
I love #HamOnt. And trust @keaninloomis to lead it.
Meet Keanin Loomis. Father. Husband. Proud Hamiltonian.
This is his story and vision for a better city for everyone who calls #HamOnt home.
On October 24, vote for a candidate that puts Hamiltonians first. Vote Keanin Loomis for Mayor.

You knew #HamOnt’s position @SkellyHamilton.
Your government promised to protect the #Greenbelt.
And now you’re taking shortcuts to enrich your donors.
I am terribly disappointed in you and your @fordnation colleagues.

“The symbol of America is the Statue of Liberty, not a 30 ft. wall.” That was my understanding too, @chuckschumer, and is what made America great in the first place. #PresidentialAddress

“…much of the credit for this new bylaw needs to go to ACORN Hamilton, a tenant advocacy and organizing group that has campaigned for years.”
Charities are at their best when they advocate for others, and make change.
Well done @AcornHamilton! #HamOnt

“After the last municipal election, @fordnation said, "When people democratically elect someone, if @HamiltonsMayor wants an LRT, he's gonna get an LRT...that's democracy."
In just several hours since we launched our call to action, more than 200 people have already told Premier Ford to fix Minister Mulroney's mistake and get the #HamOnt LRT back on track! Please add your voice and share this campaign hamiltonlightrail.ca #lrt #onpoli
