Statement by E Shaker

I grew up in Hamilton and have watched this city deal with more than its share of difficulties, but also watched it celebrate everything it has to offer. The LRT is a widely supported initiative that the community has already invested heavily in. Minister Mulroney’s decision to cancel the LRT amounts to the rug being pulled out from under the local democratic process, civic engagement, community support, business investment, municipal innovation and public transparency. Premier Ford should reverse her shortsighted decision and reaffirm his support for Hamilton’s LRT—support he has repeatedly proclaimed since he was elected.
