The family is just getting into the "feats of strength" portion of the evening. "And as I rained blows down upon him, I thought to myself, 'There's got to be another way." Blessed day, y'all.

My least favourite PR email is the kind from someone who saw your recent article and wants you to write another one just like it, but with their company in it.

#HamOnt police want $12 million more this year. They are planning to add 13 new officers every year until 2030 to keep up with population growth. The police board's budget subcommittee met for just four hours before recommending the $195-million budget. cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/…

I got totally on board with this idea after I started working on this story. I typically don't buy a lot of gifts because it feels wasteful, but there's a lot less consumer guilt for me in giving second hand items. I may be coming at this from the opposite side as many, though.

.@HamiltonPolice chief Bergen just did his update at the police board. He described a program where officers and volunteers collect and hand out winter coats to people who need them. He said this year almost 400 people came for a coat, the highest number ever.

#HamOnt councillor Esther Pauls is on the police board. I have been at other city meetings where she declared a conflict of interest because her son is a police officer. Here's a list of those, although, in true form, the city website calls her ESTER Pauls hamilton.ca/city-council/cou…
