One comment
Hamilton has gotten a bad rap, but it really doesn’t deserve it. It has some gorgeous parks, beaches, and green space; a very attractive downtown; and as that article points out, is not afraid to invest in public services like libraries and light rail. If Rob Ford gets a second term (God forbid), it would make a great retreat for us pinkos.
