Hamilton’s LGBTQ Advisory Committee claimed in a report that snow on the city’s sidewalks is a “disability justice” issue which adversely impacts the city’s LGBTQ community.
The letter of support was presented to city council on Tuesday in response to a prior decision by the Hamilton’s Public Works Committee to not expand the portion of sidewalks cleared by the city following winter squalls.
On April 19, the Public Works Committee voted down a motion by Coun. Nrinder Nann to vastly increase the area the city was responsible for. According to Nann’s motion, the city would have to clear an additional 783 kilometers of sidewalk, which could increase residential taxes by approximately $12.
Currently, the city only clears 397 kilometers out of the available 2,445 kilometers of sidewalks.
“Not clearing snow from the City’s sidewalks is an issue of accessibility and disability justice. These issues adversely impact Two Spirit and LGBTQIA+Hamiltonians,” wrote LBTQ Advisory Committee Chair Cameron Kroetsch.
“The Mapping the Void needs assessment that was published by the School of Labour Studies at McMaster University revealed that a disproportionate number of 2SLGBTQIA+ Hamiltoniansidentify themselves as having a disability (39.3% of the 872 respondents).“

I suppose if you’re light in the loafers...
“wrote LBTQ Advisory Committee Chair Cameron Kroetsch.”
Ah, there we go.
This isn’t about sexual orientation.
It’s about expanding the public payroll.
My friend who is a psychiatrist told me that people keep asking for handicap parking permits.
She keeps telling them
MENTAL DISABILITY DOES NOT QUALIFY A PERSON AS HANDICAPPED FOR PARKING PERMITS!
All those men trying to walk in high heels... that’s dangerous enough as it is, never mind with snow and ice!
The one time I wandered too close I thought I had transported to Hebron on the West Bank - I was the only non-Arab in sight.
Probably pronounced Cameron “Crotch”....
So 2SLGBTQIA+ cannot shovel snow???
DANG!
When Dr. Atkins (Atkins Diet) slipped on ice and cracked his skull Jay Leno said...”He wouldn’t have slipped if he had a little more weight on him”. (has nothing to do with weirdos on ice but I thought I’d throw it in)
BTTT!
If you hadn’t posted this, I would never know how crazy our world is.
A...People who slip on ice/snow often fall on their backside and it hurts.
B...People mentioned in this article like to live on Brokeback Mountain.
C...Slipping on the ice/snow and falling on your backside, especially after a long night of Brokeback Mountain, hurts even more.
A = C. We must spend more government money to solve this. /s
Look! There is a snow shovel! Pick it up. Use it.

If someone from 20 years ago had a time machine, teleported to the year 2021, saw this article in a newspaper, then went back in time; no one would believe what they said they saw.
I was half expecting to see a report on the impact on the minority community because the snow was “white”.
She should let them fill out a “I’m mental and should not be driving “ form and have their licenses suspended.
A self-fulfilling prophecy. What gender does Cameron identify?
Even the snow is hateful.
Or maybe these babies need to get over themselves.
Wow. This story is a perfect example of the insanity of the modern left. Adding the “two spirit” silliness to the alphabet soup to get 2SLGBTQIA+. Acting like a common issue that has been discussed by countless city councils over the years is some huge bigoted action. Calling it “disability justice”. Come on. If they weren’t doing so well destroying the western world, it would be hilarious.
