Really tired of city politicians..... Hamilton was offered rapid transit in 1985 declined and it was built in Vancouver...... Ottawa was offered Lite Rail at the same time as Hamilton.... theirs is up and running while our politicians are still talking
Time to change politicians or maybe shut this council down and force a new election

As a long time resident of Hamilton, I am disheartened by the actions displayed by the provincial government in the cancellation of the LRT.This is simply not just about cancelling some fancy vehicles and roadways to save a buck or two. This is about cancelling Hamilton as a city of growth. Cancelling our voices as a community who have long debated and voted to move forward to build a community that would be sustainable and transformational for us and for others in the generations to come. The economical and environmental benefits of such project is too vast to ignore. Let us decide our faith as a community. Give us the power back to finish what we have started. Respect and fairness is all that is asked. We can not turn back. We must not turn back. We deserve better.
