I am too old for this. Ever since we allowed the developers and the Building Trades to gang up on the citizens of Hamilton to steal a beautiful green downtown plan and replace it with the red brick monstrosities we have in the shape of the Convention Centre, Hamilton Place and Copps Coleseum, (all good and worthwhile but not in those locations) the City Council's have gone pro-development and to hell with by-laws. I've said it before, we need to revive the spirit of the SOS (Save our Square) group, the Shiela Zacks,Thomas Beckett,Bill Powell senior, Harry Greenwood and Herman Turkstra to name a few. But we lost progressive Council to the likes of Cooke and Bethune and strong Labour to the opportunism of David Wilson and the weak-kneed Marston (possibly the worst Labour Council President in history)and replaced them all with a gang of non-fits in Council. You wont change anything with a By-Law
unless you have the people to police the By-Law,
and they sure as hell ain't there now.
