November 15 marked a full three years in my role as Councillor for Ward 2. Every year, around this time, I write about another year gone by, what I’ve learned in this job, what people tell me when they see me at a meeting, stop me in the street, or share their thoughts with me in an email. #HamOnt

There is too much power in the grip of too few. Many who did not even need to know basic things to get there or how to do anything in particular. Now, there is no way to hold them accountable. This entire context need to go.
