The comments section in The Spec on this topic make me question whether or not Western Civilization is an experiment even worth continuing. Over and over again, this is being portrayed as the narrow interest of a splinter group of transit enthusiasts, without recognizing that every major business, real estate and developer group in Hamilton has come out in support of this project.

It's kind of like Rob Ford saying last week to the media that Labour costs in Toronto are 80% of the city budget, when the number is very clearly closer to 48%. If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes true.

Between that and the wedge tactics being used to divide GO supporters and LRT supporters (a red herring if I've ever seen one) it reminds me of the most common meme on Twitter right now: This is why we can't have nice things.
