Hamilton Today with Scott Thompson

Earlier this month, rapper/actor Donald Glover (under his persona of Childish Gambino) released a song called “This is America” which was about gun violence, police brutality and black pop culture.

A few days ago, a Youtuber from Hamilton released her own video, changing the lyrics to focus on women’s issues, which has sparked backlash.

Andrea Horwath has taken back her comment on the Hamilton LRT project. In an interview with the Spec, she said that ‘the reality is the province shouldn’t be deciding what municipalities choose to do with their transit systems’ and that ‘it’s important to acknowledge that the municipal order of government has these responsibilities in term of envisioning the transit projects for their cities’.

She has since tweeted out the following: “Let me be clear: I’m 100% committed to funding the Hamilton LRT. This is the right transit solution for our city, and I’ll fight like hell to make it happen. #Hamont #ONpoli #LRT #Transit”
