Imagine the insults and lawsuit threats Terry would have been loudly directing to any of his colleagues who had dared try to pull something like this with Red Hill after it was approved.

Not all councillors were on board, but it was approved, an election voted in a mayor who supported it and it was a done deal. The RHVP and Linc only serve certain parts of our city. I know many Hamilton residents who don't own cars and have never travelled on either road. That's no reason not to build it, yet we hear him and Skelly talk about how this phase 1 of LRT will only serve downtown neighbourhoods. They conveniently forget that 3 of the future BLAST routes will serve the Mountain. We'll never get there of course if we don't start somewhere.

The double standard, especially when it comes to inner city neighbourhoods is appalling. We have to listen to Terry whine and whine about possible cut through traffic in Ward 8 neighbourhoods, yet complain that he can't speed through tree-lined residential streets in Durand at 80km/hr. I've never seen someone so consistent at applying a double standard over such a long period of time. Quite impressive really.
