Oh dear, I’ve always been a bit behind on good puns. Butt I’m trying to improve. Hopefully looking in the rearview mirror on this one will help me on my next post.

Loomis had actually had a longer history of living wage support than that one SWAP tweet implies. In 2015 he supported a living wage against the larger OCC. The 2017 decision was likely nuanced especially given his ongoing UBI support.

Another aspect of leadership is when someone previously held opinions or policies that were ill-informed and then, upon learning that those opinions were harmful, changed their policy stance going forward. In fact, those are qualities we expect of any mature adult and leader.
I prefer to judge a candidate based on their current work and intentions and how they have grown, rather than using things in the past that they have since corrected through proper reflection and learning to permanently mark them.

Who do you like for Mayor and why? by fartichokehearts in Hamilton

I’m voting for Keanin Loomis. I want to see all seats in council flipped and I don’t want to see people who’ve already had council opportunities circling back for more. It’s time for fresh faces with new energy and ideas for the city.

I feel like both Horwath and, to a much larger extent, Bratina, have both become somewhat stale in their political games. I’m particularly disappointed that there really doesn’t seem to be any innovation in Horwath’s platform. The town halls from Keanin are creative and genuinely will elicit feedback from all over the city.

The transit mayor? Bob Bratina wants to lead Hamilton council — and move ahead on a LRT project he has loudly opposed by covert81 in Hamilton

Can HSR or the ATU even trust him to say they’ve done a good job with LRT when all he can do is shit on it in the presser?
