Whether we're looking to emulate Portland or Ottawa or just Burlington, electoral reform is clearly needed in Hamilton. A leaner, smarter and more progressive municipal government made of councillors elected at large (and therefore free from the provincial concerns of current wards and the bitterly divisive urban/rural, old city/new city divisions that have created systemic gridlock, atrophied development and stymied competitive initiatives) would be able to run circles around the current squad of sitting politicians. The incumbents are standard-bearers for an immature and out-of-date system that is incapable of meeting the challenges of a new century.
