Minister of Transportation Caroline Mulroney and Ford MPP Donna Skelly made a disparaging error announcing that the province wants to cancel the promised and badly needed LRT in Hamilton. In my opinion, this s tantamount to betrayal — especially considering Ms. Skelly and Mr. Ford gave their fervent word repeatedly to Hamilton and I expect it to be kept.

I completely support the new Hamilton LRT plan and urge Hamilton City Council to endorse it with the overwhelming majority vote it deserves. I am pleased to see the unwavering support of all the city's anchor institutions. The benefits will accrue to our environment and to all the residents of the City of Hamilton, not just downtown residents. I hope Hamilton will live up to its aspiration as an ambitious city by seizing this one-time opportunity.
