If Hamilton is to live up to its motto of being the ambitious city, the call for provincial assistance to fund LRT has never been greater. Without LRT, growth in Hamilton will stagnate once again. Help us build a better, ambitious city!

Cities with Hamilton's size and growth need appropriate public transit options. Other medium sized cities in Ontario are all planning or have built an LRT system (London, Ottawa, Waterloo, etc). Real estate will only get more expensive to acquire in the future, so building this now is the only thing that makes sense. I realize Hamilton votes NDP, but I hope the Ford government does the mature thing and invests in much needed infrastructure regardless.
