Infrastructure, affordable housing, economic growth of our city, that is why we need the LRT and the backing of both the Federal and the Provincial governments. Is our city going to sit and decay or are we going to invest to become a first class city in which to raise a family.

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.
