The City of Hamilton is extending its cold weather alert. The Medical Officer of Health Doctor Elizabeth Richardson had originally issued the alert last week and it will remain in effect until further notice. A cold weather alert is issued when the expected temperatures are at or below minus 15 degrees or minus 20 with the wind chill. Community agencies that aid vulnerable or homeless people have their cold weather procedures in effect.

The MPP for Haldimand-Norfolk says the public's trust in the justice system has been diminished. This after the Attorney General did not call in an independent Crown Attorney in the Fantino case. Toby Barrett is stressing the importance of objectivity given the background and interests involved in the case. Activist Gary McHale had alleged the OPP Commissioner had told municipal officials in Haldimand not to attend his rallies protesting the aboriginal occupation. The charge against Julian Fantino was thrown out in Cayuga court last week.
