Beyfront Park in a cold December afternoon, bleak and quiet, until you pass the beach. Then, it's animated by quaking geese; most nibing grass, some circling in V shape in the sky, as if practicing for a choreography competition in the coming spring. #HamOnt

I share the concerns raised by people, across the city, about the timing of the erection of this fence in front of the Salvation Army. The terrible message it sends is that Hamiltonians who are experiencing homelessness should be hidden from sight. It's not ok to treat anyone like this. #HamOnt

Episode 3 of the Assembly, one of the best shows I watched recently. The interviewers asked questions that draw out human side of a celebrity, #JannArdern
