Core infrastructure builds cities. Hamilton is not ready for a subway, but the LRT provides a strategy to more tightly link the community, facilitate smart growth, and encourage transit use. It's a generational opportunity that we must take hold of.

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
