In early January I returned from a trip to Australia and New Zealand where LRT (and heritage streetcars) make public transit easy to use and faster than busses to get to the destination especially in Melbourne.
New LRT lines had just opened and were carrying more passengers than projected in their business case projections. LRT is definitely the BEST way!

Hi Doug,
We’ve met before. Back in 2014 I ran into you and your late brother in front of BMO field before a TFC game. The two of you were very friendly, Rob even gave me his card. I believed that you were in politics for the people. That is until I saw the news that the LRT in Hamilton was cancelled. You’ve taken away a great opportunity for my city. This transit line would bring jobs and economic growth to a city that sorely needs it. Please reconsider this decision and help support our city.
Sincerely,
Aaron Bennett
