I don't agree. At all. (And I grew up and spent most of my formative adult years in Stoney Creek, Saltfleet and Hamilton). Strategic alliances are absolutely, positively possible...while allowing all entities to retain much of what made them what they are. It all depends on what will is being exerted over the long-run.
I'd be curious to examine another time-line, one on which amalgamation didn't happen. (I'm not sure who on this site is capable of rendering this in an unbiased way. Yes, I'm aware that speculation is almost always 'biased'...)
Honestly? This sounds like so many males in dysfunctional relationships: don't want to be bothered with the actual work associated with sorting things out, generating understanding, making things better...they just want to...well, you know, 'Move on.'
As we all know, this approach rarely ends well.
