Statement by A Simard

Hamilton has to move forward and grow. For once the province is helping us do that instead of letting Toronto siphon off every penny they can at the expense of other Ontario cities. They have promised us money to help modernize Hamilton. It's shameful that council is not embracing this opportunity wholeheartedly. The very notion that Hamilton council is slapping the Ontario government in the face over the LRT money is outrageous. Council should be dissolved over this nonsense. If we don't take the money to improve Hamilton via the LRT ESPECIALLY when we asked for it do you honestly think that anything we ask for will ever be taken seriously again?

Couple that with the jobs building the LRT will generate aka much needed work for impoverished Hamiltonians. How can council in good conscience take this away from us?

Tack on the Eastgate extension because that is just common sense. Stop being part of the problem and get the LRT built. This is the FUTURE of Hamilton. You have an obligation to us to make Hamilton grow not to sit in chambers and argue until the opportunity is lost. Hamilton can not afford your inaction.
